Read the passage and choose the correct answer to each of the following
questions.

Successful students often do the followings while studying. First, they have an
overview before reading. Next, they look for important information and pay greater attention
to it (which often needs jumping forward or backward to process information). They also
relate important points to one another. Also, they activate and use their prior knowledge.
When they realize that their understanding is not good, they do not wait to change strategies.
Last, they can monitor understanding and take action to correct or “fix up” mistakes in
comprehension.

Conversely, students with low academic achievement often demonstrate ineffective

study skills. They tend to assume a passive role, in learning and rely on others (e.g., teachers,
parents) to monitor their studying, for example, low-achieving students often do not monitor
their understanding of content; they may not be aware of the purpose of studying; and they
show little evidence of looking back, or employing “fix-up” strategies to fix understanding
problems. Students who struggle with learning new information seem to be unaware that
they must extent effort beyond simply reading the content to understand and remember it.
Children with learning disabilities do not plan and judge the quality of their studying. Their
studying may be disorganized. Students with learning problems face challenges with
personal organization as well. They often have difficulty keeping track of materials and
assignments, following directions, and completing work on time. Unlike good studiers who
employ a variety of study skills in a flexible yet purposeful manner, low-achieving students
use a restricted range of study skills. They cannot explain why good study strategies are
important for learning; and they tend to use the same, often ineffective study approach for all
learning tasks, ignoring task content, structure or difficulty.
