How many hours do you guys study for?

Just curious I usually study a little bit for every subject each day of the week. But probably only for an hour or so.


How about you?

I'm only taking AP Spanish this year and it's mostly just memorization for me. Physics is what I really study for because my teacher can't teach at all >.<

Other than those two classes I don't do much studying.

I only study for science and APUSH extensively and, at that it's usually only an 1 hour a day for these two subjects.

Everything else, i usually study 2 days before the test.

^ Same. I study the day before, and 1-2 hours. Some of my subjects don't really require much studying though (ethics/stats/art). AP English Lit is pretty hard, but there's not much studying, really.

These days, ~1-2 hours a night. I really need to get down and start studying for my upcoming AP exams- AP Chemistry is really freaking me out. My teacher is a first year and knows very little... Also, AP Physics C, AP Calc AB, and AP Psych are exams I have to take. I'll be studying quite a bit pretty soon.

No AP classes for me (yet - I'll have five next year, haha). But I'm in the middle of an intense competition for which I study about two hours a night.

After that, it's going to be eassssy.

For APUSH, I study a few days before... ~1-2 hours a night.
Everything else, the night before for about 2 hours.

^well I study while do my homework because I retain information better that way. I have really bad teachers this year so I usually try to read ahead on my own.

Oh geez...not a lot. I can be really unmotivated sometimes. I studied for about 15 minutes for my AP Physics final, and I'm not good at physics either. Bad result, as expected. I'm working on this habit.

Full IB diploma: about ~30minutes the night before for quarterly/semester tests and 1~2 hours for a final exam. 0 hours for quizzes or anything else.

After first quarter, haven't studied at all for any exams. the results haven't been favorable but don't really care much to try any more...

Don't really see the point of studying a little bit everyday. I'll probably forget the stuff before the exam and will have to study again anyway.

I don't usually stupid, unless it's for AP Chem or Math Anal. For Math Anal I study for like an hour or two per test, and for AP Chem I have a tutor, so I study about 3 hours a week or so.
