Being A Tactile Learner
After taking the Effective Habits for Effect Study quiz, I scored a 24. Scoring a 24 on the quiz means that I need help from a professional or a teacher on studying. I do not think that score is accurate because the way I currently study works for me as I typically ace my tests.

Another strategy was to be mobile while I am attempting to learn, as in tap my foot or chew gum or hold something while i'm learning. Doing so distract part of my brain so the rest if open for learning and for new material. After taking the quiz and reading strategies that could help my learning, I am more open to address that I have a different learning style, come to face with it and
