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 from 1 to 5 .

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 .
