Diana Guzman took a VARK learning styles assessment test which assessed her preferences for Visual, Aural, Read/Write, and Kinesthetic styles of learning. Her results showed a preference for Aural, Read/Write, and Kinesthetic styles (ARK multimodal). The document provided study strategies for each style based on her results. It emphasized using the VARK website to find more tailored study tips based on her assessed learning preferences to help her learn and process information more effectively.

VARK RESULTS

2. INTRODUCTION
In the following information we are presenting the VARK test where the VARK
provides students with an indication of their preferences for learning and as
such it will indicate stronger and weaker preferences. It would be wonderful if
students could explore their weaker preferences and enhance them by using all
the VARK strategies associated with them. A student with a strong Read/Write
preference might learn to use Visual strategies for note-taking or expressing his/
her learning. A student with a strong Visual preference might attend a course to
assist with kinesthetic ways of taking information in or for expressing it. Indeed,
there are a number of such courses available in most communities. For
example, there are usually seminars and workshops for developing mind
mapping skills or creative writing or improving reading comprehension or
accelerated learning.
But there is at least one point on which students and faculty differ. For most
students there are stressful tests and examinations where they are expected to
indicate how much they have learned. For faculty there are fewer stress times in
their lives because of their prior experience and learning. This has a significant
effect on whether VARK can be used for the development of new skills. While
some students seek opportunities to learn new strategies at every opportunity
that is not general. Many students in higher education are at critical points in
their search for employment or partners or self-esteem and they often cling to
the strengths and preferences that they have, rather than extending themselves
into unknown areas. For them it is often a matter of staying with what they know
despite the professors urging them, to expand their repertoire

3. My scores were:
• Visual: 2
• Aural: 5
• Read/Write: 5
• Kinesthetic: 4
I have a multimodal (ARK) learning preference.
The follow information describes the results in the score in that VARK test:
Aural Study Strategies
If you have a strong preference for learning by Aural methods (A = hearing)
you should use some or all of the following:
• attend classes
• attend discussions and tutorials
• discuss topics with others
• discuss topics with your teachers
• explain new ideas to other people
• use a tape recorder
• remember the interesting examples, stories, jokes...
• describe the overheads, pictures and other visuals to somebody who
was not there
• leave spaces in your notes for later recall and filling
Read/Write Study Strategies
If you have a strong preference for learning by Reading and Writing (R & W)
learning you should use some or all of the following:
• lists
• headings
• dictionaries
• glossaries
• definitions
• handouts
• textbooks
• readings - library
• notes (often verbatim)

4. • teachers who use words well and have lots of information in sentences
and notes
• essays
• manuals (computing and laboratory)
• all your senses - sight, touch, taste, smell, hearing ...
Kinesthetic Study Strategies
If you have a strong Kinesthetic preference for learning you should use some
or all of the following
• laboratories
• field trips
• field tours
• examples of principles
• lecturers who give real-life examples
• applications
• hands-on approaches (computing)
• trial and error
• collections of rock types, plants, shells, grasses...
• exhibits, samples, photographs...
• recipes - solutions to problems, previous exam papers

5. Conclusion:
The following work we check the answers that Vark show me according with my
style of learning so it is important to know that those results come from a
important web site where all students can check their own results and it can
help to check in which part are stronger.
The VARK has a website that can help with my study strategies. Now that I
took the questionnaire and know what my learning style is, I can log onto the
website to see what can help me study better. On the website, each learning
style has its own sections describing ways to learn better. By following what my
specific learning style says to do in order to process information better, it will
help me.
