Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, C, D
Being rested can improve concentration. Completing readings before the lecture increases comprehension of the lecture material. Note making is more effective than note taking. Active involvement improves concentration.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, D, E
Varying your reading speed based on the difficulty of the subject matter will help with comprehension. Highlighting words that you don't understand and creating index cards from them will help master the difficult content. Reading quickly and skimming content, saving details for later, does not accurately reflect reading efficiently by underlining key phrases, making margin notes. Highlighting and making margin notes not only forces you to process information, but allows for reviewing concepts found in margin notes, chapter key ideas, and underlined sections when you review.
