Correct Answer
D. Survey, question, read, recite, repHrase and review.

Explanation
The correct order of the SQR4 reading method is survey, question, read, recite, rephrase, and review. This method involves surveying the material to get an overview, generating questions to actively engage with the material, reading the material thoroughly, reciting or summarizing the information to reinforce understanding, rephrasing the information in your own words to enhance comprehension, and finally reviewing the material to solidify learning. This systematic approach helps improve reading comprehension and retention of information.

3.

In what stage of the SQR4 method do we put information into our own words?
- A.
  
  Rephrase
- B.
  
  Recite
- C.
  
  Review
- D.
  
  Survey
Correct Answer
A. RepHrase

Explanation
In the rephrase stage of the SQR4 method, we take the information we have gathered and put it into our own words. This helps us to better understand and internalize the information, as well as to identify any gaps in our knowledge. By rephrasing the information, we are able to process it in a way that is more meaningful and personalized to us, making it easier to remember and apply in the future.

Ancillary materials refers to
- A.
  
  Practice tests and questions.
- B.
  
  Materials available from your teacher.
- C.
  
  Charts and illustrations.
- D.
  
  Questions from the professor.
Correct Answer
A. Practice tests and questions.

Explanation
Ancillary materials typically refer to supplementary resources that support the main content or learning material. In this context, practice tests and questions are considered ancillary materials because they provide additional opportunities for students to practice and assess their understanding of the subject matter. These resources are often designed to reinforce the concepts covered in the main materials and help students prepare for exams or assessments.

The outline note taking system places information in two distinct places on a sheet of paper.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
B. False

Explanation
The outline note taking system does not place information in two distinct places on a sheet of paper. Instead, it organizes information hierarchically, with main ideas at the top and supporting details indented underneath. This system helps to visually represent the relationships between different pieces of information and makes it easier to review and study the material later on.

6.

The best way to remember a series of steps if you are a visual learner is to use the ______ method of note taking.
- A.
  
  Split-page
- B.
  
  Mapping
- C.
  
  Outline
- D.
  
  Hierarchical
Correct Answer
B. Mapping

Explanation
The best way to remember a series of steps if you are a visual learner is to use the mapping method of note taking. This method involves creating a visual representation, such as a diagram or flowchart, that shows the relationship between different steps or concepts. By visually organizing the information, visual learners can better understand and remember the sequence of steps. This method allows them to see the connections and patterns between the steps, making it easier to recall the information when needed.

Rate this question:
7.

During an exam, you should
- A.
  
  Answer the questions that you know the answers to first.
- B.
  
  Go through the questions as fast as possible.
- C.
  
  Check off the questions you have answered.
- D.
  
  Start with the essay question.
Correct Answer
A. Answer the questions that you know the answers to first.

Explanation
During an exam, it is advisable to answer the questions that you know the answers to first. This strategy allows you to gain confidence and momentum by quickly completing the questions you are familiar with. By doing so, you can ensure that you have answered a significant portion of the exam correctly, which can boost your overall score. Additionally, tackling the easier questions first can save time for more challenging ones later on, maximizing your chances of completing the entire exam within the given time limit.

Rate this question:
8.

Cramming before an exam is not effective because
- A.
  
  You may lose some sleep.
- B.
  
  There is a lot of information to remember.
- C.
  
  You may not have enough time.
- D.
  
  Our brain does not transfer the information from short to long term memory.
Correct Answer
D. Our brain does not transfer the information from short to long term memory.

Explanation
Cramming before an exam is not effective because our brain does not transfer the information from short to long term memory. When we cram, we are trying to memorize a large amount of information in a short period of time. However, our brain is not able to effectively process and store this information in our long term memory. Instead, the information is only temporarily stored in our short term memory, making it difficult to recall during the exam. This is why it is more effective to study and review material over a longer period of time to allow for proper encoding and transfer of information into long term memory.

When you see superlatives, such as Always, Never and Most as part of the answer choices in a multiple-choice format, it is best to choose one of them because they are typically the correct choices.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
B. False

Explanation
Superlatives such as "Always," "Never," and "Most" are not always the correct answer choices in a multiple-choice format. While they may sometimes be correct, it is not a guarantee. The use of superlatives can often indicate an extreme or absolute statement, which may not always be true in every situation. Therefore, it is important to carefully consider all answer choices and evaluate their accuracy, rather than solely relying on the presence of superlatives.

The main advantage of taking practice tests is
- A.
  
  That it allows you to identify what you do not know.
- B.
  
  That it helps reduce the anxiety of the actual exam.
- C.
  
  That it reinforces what you already know.
- D.
  
  That it allows you to get prepared.
Correct Answer
A. That it allows you to identify what you do not know.

Explanation
Taking practice tests allows you to identify what you do not know. By testing your knowledge and skills in a simulated exam environment, you can pinpoint areas of weakness and focus on improving them. This helps you to identify gaps in your understanding and knowledge, allowing you to allocate your study time more effectively. Additionally, by identifying what you do not know, you can tailor your study plan to address those specific areas, leading to better preparation and ultimately improving your performance in the actual exam.
