2. Introduction
The purpose of the report is to know the importance of the VARK. tells you something about yourself that you may or may not know. It can be used to understand your boss, your colleagues, your parents, your workmates, your partner, your customers, your teacher, your relatives, your clients and yourself. It is a short, simple inventory that has been well-received because its dimensions are intuitively understood and its applications are practical. It has helped people understand each other and assists them to learn more effectively in many situations.

What is VARK?
VARK is a questionnaire that provides users with a profile of their learning preferences. These preferences are about the ways that they want to take-in and give-out information. I had the opportunity to know my learning style. And I need to improve some important areas like visual and kinesthetic in the visual category means that I am lacking potential in that area as a learning style. And kinesthetic mean that I need to development more the senses end combine the others learning style.

3. The test result and the description of your learning style The VARK Questionnaire Results My scores was

Visual: 2 Aural: 7 Read/Write: 7 Kinesthetic: 5

I have a multimodal (VARK) learning preference. Multimodal Study Strategies The multimodal style of learning means that I have a mixed combination of potentialities of the learning styles. The 2 in the visual category means that I am lacking potential in that area as a learning style. But I have a vary balance learning style. One advantage of being multimodal is that I can adapt to different teachers styles; so I could be effective in different circumstances and environment. I could switch to the teachers way of teaching because I have many resources to understand and communicate the information. According to my score, READ/WRITE category the 7 in the read/write category is the highest which means that I need to apply more strategies of learning and communicating from that category; but, I understand that I could use strategies from the other styles. According to my score , AURAL category the 7 in the aural category is the highest which mean that I need apply more strategies of learning. but this mean that I have the ability to listening. And a have good communication. According to my score KINESTHETIC category the 5 in the kinaesthetic category mean that I am lacking potential in that area as a learning style and I need to development more the senses end combine the others learning style.

5. Conclusion:
in my opinion I consider that is interesting test because measure four perceptual preferences: visual (V), aural (A), read/write (R), and kinesthetic (K) in which is useful in defining style of learning . Most students represent the general level of intellectual functioning as lower than, average, in some cases even bordering mental disability. According my result I disagree because my score in visual category was 2 this means that I am lacking potential in that area as a learning style. In kinesthetic my score was 5 mean that I am lacking potencial in that area as a learning style and I need to development more the senses end combine the others learning style. I consider that the leaning style are important and can used by the teacher in the classroom, to measure the intellectual level in the students and to know the mental abilities or disabilities.
