Study Tips

We were recently asked to complete an assessment test called LASSI in order to improve our study habits. On the one hand, I think that it got some of my strengths correct. For instance, it gave me 85 out of 95 on how well I deal with anxiety. One of the reasons I do so well in school is because I’m an awesome test taker and I never worry about upcoming tests; I’m very confident in that respect. On the other hand, however, being told this doesn’t help me improve at all. The bad scores are what should warn me of bad habits so that I can fix them, but I found myself not caring about my lowest scores in the least. The reason the score is low in the first place is because it’s something that doesn’t work for me. If you actually use all their suggestions for studying, you’ll never get anything done. Instead, the test shouldn’t suggest thins that don’t work for you, but convince you to improve on things that already work for you.
