They learn best when they can see or visualise their information. This could be in the form of notes, diagrams, symbols, pictures, and so on..  \nAuditory learners  \nAbout 30 per cent of students are auditory learners. They learn best by taking their cues from sounds. Information becomes more meaningful for them when it is spoken out loud.  \nKinaesthetic learners  \nKinaesthetic learners (about 5 per cent of students) learn best through using touch, movement and space. Learning most often occurs through imitation and practice. Nobody is exclusively a visual, auditory or kinaesthetic learner. However, one style of learning will tend to predominate.  \nMost memory techniques are written for visual learners. If you learn best through listening or using kinaesthetic style you will need to adjust your techniques to suit. For example, recording important information onto a tape and listening to it repeatedly.  \nTypes of exams  \nExams can take a variety of forms and lecturers may use a combination in a single exam.  \n• Multiple choice-This means that the answer to the question must be chosen from a range of possible answers, given to you as part of the question. You will be asked to choose the answer that you think best fits the question. Be sure to read your instructions to candidates section carefully.  \n• Short answer-The length of a short answer is quite flexible. It could range from one word, to a phrase, to a sentence or to a paragraph. Whatever the required format of the short answer, you will almost certainly be tested on memory (i.e. your ability to recall specific information) rather than interpretation. The examiner will be expecting you to produce discrete pieces of information.  \n• Essays-Essay answers in exams differ from those done during the semester in two respects:  \no You are not expected to provide much referencing.  \no You do not need to provide a bibliography/reference list.  \nUsually, exam essays will require you to explore the major themes of your subject. The lecture topics and (especially) the tutorial topics will give you a reasonable, but not foolproof, guide to the main issues. In particular, the tutorial questions offer some idea of how exam questions might be structured. You can also look at past exam papers to get some idea of both the structure and content of questions asked in the past.  \n• Practical -Practical exams in science disciplines aim to examine your ability to perform specific tasks in which you apply your knowledge of the subject to solving specific practical problems or performing specific tasks. The best way to prepare is to practice what you will be required todo in the exam. Work through the various laboratory exercises that you did during the semester.  \n• Open book-An open book exam means that you can take your notes, specified books and other references into the exam room. This will probably vary with the subject and the lecturer concerned. Open book exams can be a trap because you might think that you do not need to concentrate on revising the subject to the same extent as a closed book exam. There are three main areas that your preparation must encompass:  \no Prepare properly: You must prepare as if you were sitting a closed book exam.  \no Know your subject: If you do not know your subject matter when you are actually doing the exam, the notes and books that you take in with you will be of little help.  \no Making revision notes:  \n• Problem solving-Examinations in mathematics, physics, accounting, economics, and similar sorts of subjects commonly use this format of question. The key to success here is to have a thorough understanding of the theories and concepts that give rise to the various formula","cbCaihSApsOY8KsO","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaihSApsOY8KsO","pdf",243823,"English","# Introduction\n## Purpose\n# Learning styles\n## Visual learners\n## Auditory learners\n## Kinaesthetic learners\n# Types of exams\n## Multiple choice\n## Short answer\n## Essays\n## Practical\n## Open book\n## Problem solving\n## Oral\n# Preparing for exams\n## Plan\n## Revise\n## Sit\n## Reading time","[{\"question\":\"How can understanding learning styles help with exam preparation?\",\"answer\":\"The summary explains that visual, auditory, and kinaesthetic learners absorb information differently.
