Abstract
This paper focuses on the links between the 'thinking styles' (Sternberg, 1999) of students following a BSc in Mathematics and the strategies they employ when they deal with exam-type questions. The students' strategies were identified according to the 'A-B-Delta classification', a classification that builds on Weber's (2005) 'semantic', 'syntactic' and 'procedural'. The students' 'Initial Strategies' seem to be linked with the students' thinking styles, whereas the students' 'Back-Up Strategies' seem to be linked with the nature of the exam-type questions. The identified links between styles and strategies are discussed, drawing from Skemp's (1979) views about reality (inner and social) and survival (respectively, internal consistency and social survival).
