Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Reading for understanding takes time. It is possible that in addition to reading too rapidly, the individual is omitting the preview step of the PQRST method for reading textbooks and would profit from its use. The student is also likely to profit from the steps of questioning, stating, and testing. The PQRST method requires the reader to take the time necessary to lay down neural traces, thus enhancing recall. Reading each sentence word for word is unnecessary and not effective. Never moving the lips while reading is irrelevant. Understanding and recalling may be improved by making margin notes and underlining.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Previewing gives the learner the big picture. Reading provides the opportunity to gather information to be stored in memory. The other 50 of the study time should be devoted to question, state, and test.
