Learning and Studying Inventory

CARC Podcast Banner

he LASSI (Learning and Study Strategies Inventory) is a 10-scale, 60-item assessment of students’ awareness about and use of learning and study strategies related to skill, will and self-regulation components of strategic learning. The focus is on both covert and overt thoughts, behaviors, attitudes and beliefs that relate to successful learning and that can be altered through educational interventions. Research has repeatedly demonstrated that these factors contribute significantly to academic success and that they can be learned or enhanced through educational interventions such as learning and study skills courses.

To begin the assessment, visit the LASSI site where you will be asked to submit the following information:

School Number:   80049

User Name:   pxsb

User Password:   g53w

After entering this information, the next screen to appear requires you to enter your first and last name into the spaces provided for the page to be submitted correctly. The ID and E-mail fields are optional. The next screen to appear will be the LASSI assessment.

You will be asked to respond to 60 statements. To help you decide which responses to select, the following is an explanation of each option.

  • By Not at all typical of me, we do not necessarily mean that the statement would never describe you, but that it would be true of you only in rare instances.
  • By Not very typical of me, we mean that the statement generally would not be true of you.
  • By Somewhat typical of me, we mean that the statement would be true of you about half of the time.
  • By Fairly typical of me, we mean that the statement would generally be true of you.
  • By Very much typical of me, we do not necessarily mean that the statement would always describe you, but that it would be true of you almost all the time.

After completing all the items and successfully submitting the results, a two-page report will be displayed listing your scores for each scale, together with your name, school, date of administration, and an explanation of your results. You may print a copy of the results for your records.
