Use VARK Results to Study More Effectively
How can knowing your VARK score help you do better in your college classes? The following table offers suggestions for using learning styles to develop your own study strategies. Consider also how online course management systems (see this chapter’s Tech Tip) provide opportunities for different types of learners to connect with the material they are studying.
TABLE 4.1 
Study Strategies by Learning Style
| Visual | Aural | Read/Write | Kinesthetic |
| Underline or highlight your notes. | Talk with others to verify the accuracy of your lecture notes. | Write and rewrite your notes. | Use all your senses in learning: sight, touch, taste, smell, and hearing. |
| Use symbols, charts, or graphs to display your notes. | Put your notes on audiotape, or audiotape class lectures. | Read your notes silently. | Supplement your notes with real-world examples. |
| Use color to highlight important concepts. | Read your notes out loud; ask yourself questions and speak your answers. | Organize diagrams or flowcharts into statements. | Move and gesture while you are reading or speaking your notes. |
| Create a graphic representation of your notes (e.g., a mind map) and redraw it from memory. | Write imaginary exam questions and respond in writing. |
