V. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to
indicate the correct answer to each of the 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.
