Once you have finished, add up the number of a’s, b’s, and c’s. Tally your answers and
“Voilà!” you have a snapshot of how you learn best! If you answered mostly “a”, you are
primarily a kinesthetic learner. If you answered mostly “b”, you are an auditory learner, and if
you answered mostly “c”, you are largely a visual learner. Now that you know the way you
learn best, it’s time to put that information to good use!
Practical Strategies for Each Learning Style
Strategies for the Kinesthetic Learner (learns best by doing — “hands on”)
Pace or walk around while referencing your notes and reciting to yourself.
If you need to fidget, try doing so in a way which will not disturb others. Use the
Tangle Jr., Wikki Sticks, or a stress ball.
You might not study best while at a desk. Try lying on your stomach or back on a
comfortable lounge chair.
Studying with music in the background might suit you (instrumental music is best – as
opposed to heavily rhythm-based music).
While studying, take frequent breaks. A reasonable schedule would be 20-30 minutes
of study, and 5 minutes of break time.
Study with a friend, parent, or group so you can discuss and hear the information.
Recite out loud the information you want to remember several times.
Make your own tapes of important points you want to remember and listen to it
repeatedly. This is especially useful for learning material for tests.
When doing math calculations, use grid paper to help you set your sums out correctly
and in their correct columns.
Use different colors and pictures in your notes, exercise books, etc. This will help you
remember them.
Try to work in a quiet place. Some visual learners like soft music in the background.
Most visual learners learn best alone.
When studying, take many notes and write down lots of details.
When trying to learn material by writing out notes, cover your notes then re-write.
Rewriting will help you remember better.
Use color to highlight main ideas.
Before reading a chapter or a book, preview it first by scanning the pictures, headings,
terms in bold and so on.
When creating flashcards, always add a picture cue to aide memory.
