Good points, Tyke! My study skills in graduate school improved greatly through my desire and interest in the classes, and I was old enough to understand what I was trying to overcome.

In high school and my undergraduate work I always did much better in the classes where the tests were based on lectures. If they were based on tons of reading, I was sunk and didn't always have the discipline to do the work over the extra hours it was going to take me. In graduate school I made sure to get the reading list way ahead and read every book required before the class even started, so on my second reading I could skim if I needed but I would have read it at least once. I read well, but very slowly. Books on Tape are a wonderful tool for dyslexics. Since I remember what I hear so well, it means I really get a lot out of the book on the first reading and get it faster than if I read it myself.
