Studying may be a challenge for Shawna. What skills can she use to help her learn new material and prepare for examinations?

Shawna should discover the learning style that works best for her. She should also learn effective time management skills.

Explanation:

Shawna basically has two problems namely; discovering the learning style that is most applicable to her and effectively managing her time. If Shawna had trouble passing her studies in high school, she should try to discover if she is an abstract or concrete perceiver/processor of information.  

Abstract perceivers learn more by reflection, analysis, and observation while concrete perceiver learn by doing and practicalizing what they learn so that it can have meaning for them. I would proffer that she adopts the concrete learning style.

Shawna should also effectively manage her time by having a clear-cut objective, organizing her activities, not procrastinating and accomplishing her tasks headlong.
