Study Skills Questionnaire Name ________________________________ Date________________

To gain a better understanding of yourself as a learner, it is helpful to identify the study skills you use. You can determine if your study skills need a boost or if they are fine just the way there are now. This informal inventory is a short and quick tool for assessing your study skills. This is not a test, so please ask for assistance when/where you feel you need it. Answer each question as honestly as you can. There are 30 questions. Directions: 1. Read each statement and think about it. 2. Place an X in the column that best describes your current level as it relates to the study statement. Example…. Reading Text Books 1. I browse headings, pictures, chapter questions, and summaries before I read a chapter. Rarely Sometimes X Often

If this statement happens to be true some of the time for you, then place an X as shown in the appropriate column (which is “sometimes”). At the end of the questionnaire, you will have a chance to self-score the results. Give it a try! Remember…Applying what you learn from this questionnaire is the real key.
