A struggling nursing student reports studying best in an environment with some background sound. The student should first consider
a. studying with a peer group.
b. re-evaluating the study environment.
c. hiring a tutor.
d. cramming for examinations.
ANS: B
When a learning style preference is not producing results, one should consider change. Thinking that one can study in the presence of noise and other distractions is a common fallacy. The student should try studying in a quiet place. Joining a study group should not be the first consideration. Tutoring may not be necessary; it should not be the first consideration. Cramming is never advocated as a helpful method for improving grades.
