I have a question...
Outside of school hours, when do you study?

For me, the school days were always so long, that I never started studying at home until 6 p.m. ish. I am a naturally nocturnal person anyway (for example, its 4 a.m. right now) so the night time suited me for study.

How much study does everyone do?

Normally, I would do anywhere between 2.5-6 hours a night, averaging maybe 15-25 hours a week. I always used to take fridays and saturdays off though. I'd always study of a Sunday night though. In exam periods, I would be doing at least 6-8 hours a day. Studying for my maths and physics exams were the worst though. For physics, I did 14 hours in one day, plus revising for an hour before the exam the next day. It sounds like a lot but really, it was just going over every little part of the course. Aced that exam though =]

One last quote... There ain't no rest for the wicked :P

i find i study best late through the night after ive had my break away from school.
im just more in the zone at these times; no idea why.
maybe because theres less distractions?

Absolutely!
There is nothing better than studying in complete quietness late at night when the rest of the house is fast asleep. I was lucky that things normally died down after dinner.

I tend to study late too, since in the afternoons, it's too hot to concentrate and I feel tired from walking home. Between 4 - 9 pm, I'm basically relaxing/ recovering from school. So by the time it's 10 pm, I feel guilty and I make myself study.

yeah, i find that late at night is the optimum study time for me.

sometimes i also go to school an hour early and work then, it seems to be a good time to concentrate

same here :] I can't do late nights myself, my brain stops functioning after midnight. but 6-11pm works for me, and whenever I'm at school when my friends are either not around or also studying.

[Klutsov]

Whenever there is nothing on TV (most of the time) and I feel guilty for not studying

But typically this is the afternoon/early evening

[BHS10]

usually from 4.30/5 - 10 pm. I come home, eat, talk on the phone and then i get to studying

Lol, I love it how we feel guilty enough to study :P
Something I've always laughed at.

That kind of guilt didn't affect me too much, but if I was studying for a test late at night and just had to go to bed, that is when the guilt would sink in because I thought I didn't study enough for whatever reason. As a result, I wouldn't be able to sleep... That was the worst part about studying haha.

what time do you wake up to go to school?? i get up at 6.30, so going to bed at 4am will mean 2.5 hours sleep... - id be dead at school, and as such not concentrating, making me study more to keep up with the work!!

i find at night best to study too (but not that late), cant get up early in the morning to do it

[khorne]

get home around 3:25, grab a snack, bos, etc until 4pm...then study from 4 to 7:30 and from 8:30 to 10:00...

Weekends...I take saturday morning off, and saturday night (study between 1pm - 5pm)

Sundays I take the whole day off then 2 hours at night some time

[0bs3n3]

Do you even do your homework? By the time I've finished all my homework/finsihing off bits of classwork there ain't much time to review my notes... Do you include homework as part of study?

[gavskiez]

all through the morning before school - usually around 5am to 7:30 or 8am? but i leave weekends completely free; they recommend 15 hours per week. do too much and you'll just burn out. like people that do thirty or forty hours a week are just being ridiculous - make time for friends, jobs, sport and stuff as well; you'll do better overall.

Lol. On an average night, I would get around 4-5 hours sleep. I got used to it lol, and was fine at school.
Keep in mind though, that I finished my HSC last week tehehe. I am up a fair bit later than I normally would be.

A little anecdote, I was DEAD for my english paper 2... I think I had 2 hours sleep... In a situation like that, you push through and then fall asleep after the exam haha. I don't recommend it, but let me assure you, I was fine in the test. Wrote tons :P I'm just one of those people who is used to getting little sleep. :P
