12-13 hours a day? :eek: That's excessive and unnecessary.

I plan to study after the New Year, hopefully at least 3 hours a day.

12 hours seems a little inpractible unless you studied maybe 6 hours OVER 12 hours seems easy enough

my brain hurts after about 5 hours anyway

I do it in 2 hour chunks, 2 hours, 1.5hr break another 2 hours then a 2hr break than 1 hour

after that last hour i seriously feel like i cant absorb any more

but 12 hours is fucking nuts, you gotta sleep half way in order too rest your brain

what i like though is if you study alot over an extended period, it becomes a habit and you dont mind doing it ...

Hey, has anyone heard of power-napping? Well, you sleep for two hours in the middleof the day, and when you wake up, you have heaps of energy. I tried it once when i was cramming and english assessment, worked nicely.

I keep promising myself "after NYE, I will do at least one hour of work per day". I think I've been sobered by the fact that my yr 11 marks would've given me a UAI in the early 80s (I want 97+).

Timeandtide remember theres a difference between actually studying 12 hours and sitting at your desk for 12 hours, which most people like you who say that they study that much do.

12-13hrs??? ok that's way too much for now! right now i can only study up to 5 hrs max and that's it. hopefully you've had break times between those 12-13 hrs of study.

there is exactly 290 days left.

everything has to be consumed in moderation, whether it be health foods, or study.

2 or 3 continuous hours of complete concentration = 12 hours "studying+ listening to music"
