Answer to Question 1

Ans: B, C, D
Feedback:
Strategies for taking effective notes include highlighting main points, reading notes after class, and reviewing them regularly. Unless the student has been absent, it is not normally necessary to obtain a classmate's notes. It is unrealistic and unnecessary to write down everything an instructor says.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
Feedback:
Creating a schedule for studying is conducive to effective time management and success. It is best to study hard subjects before easy subjects. Regular breaks are important, and effectiveness, not speed, is the goal of studying.
