Yeah, if that time includes doing assignments it makes sense. I just do assignments and cram before the test. In fact, I'm taking summer school and I just started studying for a test I have in... 14 hrs.

It's all about time management. 12 hours a real is unrealistic that is a real big exaggeration. As long as you go to class and participate you wont have to study anywhere near 12 hours a day. Take good notes on the lectures and make sure to ask questions if you have any. Review what will be covered in class before the lecture and write down any questions you may have.
Professors usually have office hours where any student can come and ask questions, be sure to do so with anything you are having trouble with.
If you understand the material well, and don't sleep or mess around in class you will do well with just a few hours of homework and reviews topics covered before tests. 12 hours of studying a day is ridiculous, I don't understand how anyone can handle that, I'd forget about college altogether if it is taking 12 hours a day to understand basic coursework

I agree with UriA702. It is possible for a person to not study until an exam period. However, only a few people seem to make it through getting A's by cramming the exam material for 12 hours.

In general, I think you can't go wrong by following UriA's instructions, meaning you probably won't get below a B.

You don't need to study 12 hours a day to get an A. All you need to do is follow what I said and begin reviewing materials for an exam ahead of time. This way when it down to the last few days before an exam you can study moderately and know the material well enough to do well on the test. works for everyone i know.
