Time Management Survey

Come to the LAC and learn how to study smarter (not harder)

Take the following survey and see how much you know about concentration. While you are in college, it is helpful to know how to increase your ability to concentrate effectively. If the statement is true or a POSITIVE strategy, mark P; if the response is false or a NEGATIVE strategy, mark N.

Base all of your answers on your current study habits.
