Study Skills Questionnaire

This document provides a self-assessment tool for students to evaluate their study skills in different areas. It contains 30 statements across 6 categories of study skills: reading textbooks, taking notes, studying, memorizing, preparing for tests, and managing time. Students rate how often each statement applies to them on a scale from rarely to sometimes to often. They then add up their scores in each category to see which study skills may need improvement. The goal is for students to gain insight into their study habits and identify areas to focus on developing stronger skills.

STUDY SKILLS

SELF A S SES S MENT

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 Rarely Sometimes Often


1. I browse headings, pictures, chapter questions,
and summaries before I read a chapter. X

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.
