Congratulations: you’re a visual learner! You rely on your eyes to help you learn, and whatever you see, you retain. You’re likely to think in pictures, have good observational skills and may have a good grasp of spatial dimensions (comprehending and manipulating 3D images and shapes in your mind). You’re good at creating pictures of how things should look or be and “mapping” challenges out in a way that you can understand. Try these study tips: Create visual mind maps to break concepts down Use images, videos, slides, maps, free-drawn plans or photographs as learning aids Use books with diagrams and pictures Use brightly coloured markers to highlight important pieces of text Detect patterns in what you’re learning Use colour, shape, interesting layouts and different fonts Use symbols (@, #, &) and white space to make your study text and diagrams more visually appealing Turn written-down or verbal puzzles and problems into visual ones in your head Draw an actual picture to suss out an object’s relationship to its surroundings

Congratulations: you're an aural learner, somebody who learns best through the use of sound. (This may come as a surprise to your mum – who is convinced you have a hearing problem when she asks you to to do your chores!) You might enjoy listening to music while studying, and prefer talking through challenging study material. Try these study tips: Listen to podcasts or audio lessons about the subject matter you’re grappling with Discuss or debate concepts and information with your teacher, friends or study group Explain what you’re learning to someone else – it will help you remember the information Have conversations with yourself: speaking out loud while studying does not make you cuckoo! Get creative: use specific songs as studying tools by connecting certain concepts to a song Create rhythmic or rhyming sentences, phrases or even poems to sum up concepts and remember them better Use mnemonics: “a system such as a pattern of letters, ideas, or associations, which assists in remembering something.” This rhyme to remember the names and order of the planets is an example of a mnemonic: “My Very Educated Mother Just Served Us Noodles”. (Yes, it doesn’t include Pluto. Because Pluto is now considered a dwarf planet. Unfair, we say!)

When you say you’re going to be hitting the books, you really mean it: read-write learners gobble up information best by reading all kinds of study materials, researching widely and taking detailed notes. You prefer what you’re reading to make sense, you love lists, enjoy ordering things into categories and keep all the class handouts. Words that have interesting meanings or backgrounds charm you, and you’re a whiz at extracting meanings from headings and titles. Here’s a new word for you: abibliophobia! When studying, use: Textbooks and materials that really interest you, are written clearly and make sense - you won't learn much if a text bores you Titles and headings that clearly explain the notes that follow Lists, bullet points and numbered paragraphs Dictionaries and glossaries Class handouts and the notes you took Definitions that help you remember concepts Pen and paper – writing things down helps you capture the information in your head

Kinaesthetic students use their whole bodies and real life experiences to help them learn. You acquire knowledge best by doing and experimenting. You’re the kid who takes their dad’s treasured watch apart to find out what makes it tick! You don’t mind getting your hands dirty while discovering the ins and outs of a challenge, and you learn best when going through the practical motions of what you’re busy learning. You want to do stuff, draw up plans and diagrams, or even role play to learn new information! Try these study techniques: Activate all your senses – learn by using sight, touch, taste, smell and hearing Use hands-on, practical approaches Read case studies Watch videos that show how real things work or are put together Attend laboratory and practical sessions Use surveys, field trips and interviews Find real-life examples of what you’re learning, and see how the knowledge practically applies Learn by trial and error Look for opportunities to apply what you learned – test that science experiment in the kitchen!
