  Scoring Your Inventory

Tally your responses by adding up only the YES answers.  Put the number of the question in the appropriate box.For example, if you answered questions number 9 with a yes, write 9 in the VISUAL box.If you answered number 11 with a yes,write number 11 in the AUDITORY box.If you answered number 7 with a yes, write 7 in the KINESTHETIC box.  Add up the number of questions in each box and write a total for each one.This will determine your preferred learning style.Don’t worry if a dominant mode doesn’t emerge.  You’re a versatile learner!Use the knowledge you gain to create excellent study tools, the ones that are right for you.Chart your answers below.

                          Visual Style:Questions 1, 4, 9, 10, 13, 16, 19, 24, 25, 28 

Auditory Style: Questions 2, 5, 8, 11, 14, 18, 20, 23, 26, 29

                              Kinesthetic Style: Questions 3, 6, 7, 12, 15, 17, 21, 22, 27, 30

Visual	Auditory	Kinesthetic
9,13,16,24,25,28	5,8,23,29	12,15
Total: 115	Total: 65	Total: 27

The highest score indicates your preferred learning style. If you have a high score in more than one area, you’re using additional modalities.Remember that there are no wrong answers to this inventory.Everyone is an individual and has her own style of learning. 

Characteristics of Visual, Auditory,
and Kinesthetic Modes

• Visual learners need to see information.If your preferred style is visual, you have strong visualization skills and can remember objects, shapes, and pictures.You learn by reading, and by watching films, videos, and demonstrations.You can see pictures in your mind.

 •Auditory learners need to hear information.If your preferred style is auditory, you         have a “good ear” and can hear differences in tones and rhythm.Reading out loud will be beneficial.You can remember what you hear in a lecture

• Kinesthetic learners need to be physically active and doing things.If your preferred style is kinesthetic, you are a hands-on learner.You have good coordination and learn by doing.You generally have an active approach to learning.

Using Multi-Sensory Learning

Now that you know your learning style(s), you have an idea of the important role your senses play in the learning process.The best strategy is to combine modalities whenever possible.Incorporate visual, kinesthetic, and auditory learning into your study plan.Using combinations will strengthen your ability to retain information.Be creative.Add your own ideas.Here are some strategies:

Visual learners:

• Create mind maps, flow charts, and diagrams using bright colors.  Put them where you can view them frequently. 

• Practice building your visual memory. 

• Rewrite your notes using different colors

Auditory learners:

•After you read a page in your textbook,summarize the information out loud in your own words.

•Tape your instructor’s lecture, and if you are a commuter, listen to the tape on the way home, either in your car, or on the bus or subway.

•Discuss the material that you have been learning with a friend or study group.

Kinesthetic learners:

•Use your hands.Cut up charts and diagrams.Create flash cards and move them around with large, sweeping movements.

•Walk and talk the information.Recite as you move.

•Type on a computer keyboard.You are using your muscle memory.

Developing Your Style: Combining Visual Auditory, & Kinesthetic Modes

Additional ways you can use multi-sensory learning:

• Use background music (no lyrics to distract you) when you study. Choose a piece ofmusic for a particular subject. Every time you study that subject, play the music. You are creating an association for your subconscious mind.You may be surprised to discover how much of the information you remember when you play the music by itself.You are combining Visual and Auditory modes. 

• Use rap or rhyme to memorize information.To add Kinesthetic to this Auditory mode,walk,dance, or clap when you sing.

• If you are athletically inclined, dribble a basketball while you recite information.You are combining Auditory and Kinesthetic modes. 

• Study with a partner or in a group. Discuss the information. Hold up flash cards diagrams, hierarchies, and mind maps to test each other. This combines Visual and Auditory modes. 

• Put yourself in the picture. You can do this with a subject like history; participate in a battle or a significant meeting such as the signing of the Declaration of Independence.Ask yourself how you feel.This combines Visual and Kinesthetic modes. 

• Make up your own strategies. Incorporate multi-sensory learning into your studies.

 Additional Strategies: 
• If you are learning a new vocabulary word or math formula, write it in the air using large, sweeping movements.Close your eyes and see it in your mind’s eye. Say the words out loud. You are combining V, A, and K modes. 
• Use the sense of smell. One student created olfactory (smell) associations by using scented pencils for studying.He used a grape pencil for one subject and a chocolate one for another.When taking an exam,he used the appropriate pencil to help him recall information.He combined V and K and added an additional sensory mode.
• Use 5- by 7-inch flash cards to self-quiz.Use different and bright colors for each side.Lay them on a desk or table. Move them around and put them in different places as you study, or create a game with them.Place them into different categories in a hierarchical fashion such as “don’t know,” “review,” and “need to study more.” 
• Create your own auditory notes using a tape recorder.

My Personal Learning Style Plan: Visual Learner

1. When I read notes or textbooks,I will highlight the important points and keywords to help me remember better.

2. I will join a study group with friends because they can help me to understand every subject. 

3. Sitting in front or somewhere that I can see clearly really help me to focus on the class.

4. I will create mind map to help me picture every single important points. 

10 Steps to College Success 

Step 1 – Attend Every Class 

• Though cutting class is sometimes tempting, don’t do it if you can help it. Save absences for when you’re sick or have a real emergency that you cannot avoid. When you miss class, you miss lectures, notes, explanations of assignments, class discussions, and sometimes quizzes and in-class assignments. Getting copies of a classmate’s notes won’t always help.

Step 2 – Get Organized 

• Get a weekly planner and use it religiously. 
• Create and maintain a tidy and organized study space, complete with everything that you need when you’re working: paper, pens, pencils, stapler, etc.
• Use a separate 3-ring binder for each class you’re taking.
• Back up all of your computer files on drives, disks, flash drives, or by emailing them to yourself.
• Keep all papers, quizzes and tests that you get back from your teachers at least until the final grades are submitted. If it’s a course related to your major, you may want to keep them until you graduate.
• Get phone numbers for your classmates so you can call them for study help, or to ask a question.  

 Step 3 – Manage Your Time

• Plan ahead.Know when your assignments are due.Break large tasks down into smaller pieces.
• Don’t promise more than you can accomplish.Spreading yourself too thin will only make you more tired and less able to function at your highest level.
• Be efficient. Limit yourself to a reasonable amount of TV and socializing time. Use those activities as rewards for getting your work done.Always look for ways to streamline or combine tasks (i.e., study while you’re waiting for the bus, doing laundry, riding a stationary bicycle)  

Step 4 – Use the Classroom to Succeed 

• Arrive on time and sit in the front row whenever you can.
• Ask questions and participate every chance you get.
• Talk with your instructors.Meet them during their office hours.Make sure they know your name and that you’re committed to learning.
• Learn how to adapt to different types of instructors.
• Join study groups and discussion groups based on the class subject, and be a good group member.  

Step 5 – Take Good Notes 

• Find a note taking system that works for you, such as Cornell, mind maps, or outlines.
• Listen actively. Focus on the speaker, think, and try to understand the topic being presented.
• Learn to recognize the important information by paying attention to verbal and nonverbal clues your instructor gives.If he or she raises their voice, speaks more slowly, writes something down on the board, or repeats it, it’s probably important. If the information being discussed also appears in the textbook, it’s probably important.Look for the signs.
• Make sure your notes are legible and have plenty of white space.
• Review your notes within 24 hours of taking them.

Step 6 – Read Your Textbook Actively 

• Try a reading strategy like SQ3R (Suvey,Question,Read,Recite,Review).Look for a handout on this in the Learning Assistance Center.
• Avoid reading in bed. Sit up straight with your book on a bookstand, or held in front of you instead.Active reading happens more when a body is more active than at rest.  

 Step 7 – Study Smart

• Find a good place to study: the library, a quiet area in your house, wherever you can work best.  It should be comfortable, well lit, fully stocked, and free of distractions.
• Remember that getting started is often the hardest part. Jump in and it will be easier to keep going.
• Study your difficult or boring subjects first when you have the most energy.
• Know your learning style and use the study tips associated with it.  

 Step 8 – Use Test-Taking Strategies 

• Arrive early, or at least on time for a test.
• Does it make more sense for you to answer all the easy questions, or move on to the hard ones first?
• Mark questions you need to return to.
• Always answer True/False and Multiple Choice questions.
• Check your answers before turning it in. Be one of the last students out the door. Take your time. 

 Step 9 – Reduce Subject-Related Anxiety 

• Trace back to when you started having trouble with a particular school subject. What was going on? Who was your teacher? How did you feel? See if there is an answer to why the subject makes you anxious. Sometimes knowing that is the key to overcoming the problem.
• Make sure you know all the background information necessary to understanding the class you’re in. If you don’t, go back and review. Ask your instructor where the gaps in your learning might be and see if they can recommend some study resources for you.
• Realize that there are many different types of thinking and learning, and you have the ability to try and succeed at new ways. 

Step 10 – Use the Resources Available to You

• The Learning Assistance Center.
• Clubs and Groups on Campus.
• Academic Counselors.
• Career Counselors.
• Computer Labs.
• Financial Aid.
• The Library.
• Counseling.
• DSPS
