Assessing my strengths and weaknesses

Now that I know I do not have a specific learning style, but am aware that I favour the visual style, I can start to access and address my strengths and weaknesses. I did this using another self assessment questionnaire.

According to the analysis I am "Confident about the transition to higher study and are well prepared for the different kind of work and ways of dealing with it ahead of you."

The questionnaire had 10 main topics areas:

Understanding the challenge that lies ahead
Guiding you own learning
Writing and analysis
Presenting your ideas
Research and information processing
Coursework and longer projects
Using ICT effectively
Managing your time
Assertiveness
Coping with stress

All of these sections had a total score of 25. For all of the categories except coping with stress, I scored 21-25 which suggests that I am confident in the area and have most of the key skills.

Something which I am aware that I have am not good at is coping with stress and the test highlighted this. I gained a total of 18 marks in this category and this is something that I therefore need to try and improve on. In order to address this, I will need to set myself some targets.
