A: Two Actions
Some actions could have been taken by the student before
starting the proctored exam that would have eliminated some of their
frustration. Preparing your workspace for an exam is in the WGU
Student Handbook.
The student in the given scenario should have ensured a clear
testing area free from all papers, notes, books, or any other material
not allowed in the testing area. While testing, students can only have a
clean whiteboard and one handheld calculator in their testing area.
The student in the scenario should have also turned off any other
computer monitors or electronic devices in the area or within visual
range (WGU, 2016).
Students must have their government-issued ID or Driver’s
License ready to show the proctor before beginning the exam. If the
students had been more prepared before starting the testing session,
the process to start the exam would have taken 8-10 minutes instead
of 30 minutes (WGU, 2016).
B: Self-Directed Learning Strategies 1. One Effective Note-
Taking Technique
One effective method for notetaking that someone could use as
they prepare to retake an assessment is called the mind mapping
method. This method helps students track information and concepts in

a visual way and is effective for studying to retake an exam (WGU,
2018a).
“Mind mapping is a method that uses
comprehension/concentration skills and evolves in a visual note-taking
form that relates each fact or idea to another. Mind Mapping is a
graphic representation of the content. It is a method that maximizes
active participation, affords immediate knowledge as to its
understanding, and emphasizes critical thinking” (WGU, 2018a).
With Mind Mapping, you start with broader topics or central
ideas, which branch out into more specific and complex parts of these
ideas; those ideas can also branch off into other ideas and concepts.
This is a visual way to take notes and for students to understand how
topics and ideas fit together. It also helps you to see the concepts
differently than just writing them down and re-reading them (WGU,
2018a).
2. One Effective Study Method
One study method a student can use to help prepare to retake
an exam is the PQ3R method. PQ3R stands for Preview, Question,
Read, Recite, and Review (Hannaman, 2016).
To use this strategy, you start with Preview. Before you start
reading, you will preview what you will read or study. You will look at
the reading length and read all bold titles and subject headings. The
next step is Questioning; during this step, you will ask yourself questions
about the topics and think about prior knowledge you have on the
subject. You will also come up with questions to which you will look for
answers during your reading. Next, you will Read the text. While
reading, keep the questions from the previous step in your mind or on
paper and look for these answers. After you have read the material,
you will Respond. This is when you will
take a piece of paper and write down what you remember from what
you just read. Finally, you’ll Review. Review the notes you just wrote,
