Think of yourself as a learner. Read each statement carefully. Consider if the statement is true or false as it generally applies to you when you are in the role of a learner (student, attending classes, university etc.) Check () True or False as appropriate. When finished all statements, apply your responses to the Scoring Guide.

True False 1. I ask myself periodically if I am meeting my goals. 2. I consider several alternatives to a problem before I answer. 3. I try to use strategies that have worked in the past. 4. I pace myself while learning in order to have enough time. 5. I understand my intellectual strengths and weaknesses. 6. I think about what I really need to learn before I begin a task 7. I know how well I did once I finish a test. 8. I set specific goals before I begin a task. 9. I slow down when I encounter important information. 10. I know what kind of information is most important to learn. 11. I ask myself if I have considered all options when solving a problem. 12. I am good at organizing information. 13. I consciously focus my attention on important information. 14. I have a specific purpose for each strategy I use. 15. I learn best when I know something about the topic. 16. I know what the teacher expects me to learn. 17. I am good at remembering information. 18. I use different learning strategies depending on the situation. 19. I ask myself if there was an easier way to do things after I finish a task. 20. I have control over how well I learn. 21. I periodically review to help me understand important relationships. 22. I ask myself questions about the material before I begin. 23. I think of several ways to solve a problem and choose the best one. 24. I summarize what I’ve learned after I finish. True False 25. I ask others for help when I don’t understand something. 26. I can motivate myself to learn when I need to 27. I am aware of what strategies I use when I study. 28. I find myself analyzing the usefulness of strategies while I study. 29. I use my intellectual strengths to compensate for my weaknesses. 30. I focus on the meaning and significance of new information. 31. I create my own examples to make information more meaningful. 32. I am a good judge of how well I understand something. 33. I find myself using helpful learning strategies automatically. 34. I find myself pausing regularly to check my comprehension.

35. I know when each strategy I use will be most effective. 36. I ask myself how well I accomplish my goals once I’m finished. 37. I draw pictures or diagrams to help me understand while learning. 38. I ask myself if I have considered all options after I solve a problem. 39.
