<p>See i’m a little crazay.</p>
<p>I literally cannot pay attention to anything that goes on in school and I rarely do my homework as well as I should (I’ve wondered if I have some sort of attention deficit disorder :(). So I learn ZERO in class until it’s time for a big test. Thus, I kind of have to study in order to make sure that I learn something. As a result, I always do really well on tests, much to my teacher’s dismay.</p>
<p>Well i believe that 5 hours for one test is absurd… It depends on the test and on the class, but for a difficult test, I use to study a max of 2 hours. The class that is most difficult for me is science, in that test I study about 2 hours or less and I get a high grade, but studying for one single test 5 hours, i will never handle it, I am not capable of staying in my room for 5 hours!! it is crazy. For the rest of the classes like math, spanish or english i ussually study about one hour or less depending on the topic of the exam.</p>
<p>It depends on the test you are going to take and how much attention you have payed in class. If you never pay attention and you are studying for a final exam you will need much more than 5 hours, but if you have payed attention you will need much less. For me, 5 hours of studying straight is too much and then all the studying wont work. It all depends on your way of thinking and understanding.</p>
<p>Personally, I would never study for a single test for 5 hours, except the SAT.</p>
<p>My oppinion is students can study for test about 5 hours.
You know what? korean students are how to study for test?
I think that korean test’s level is higher than western test, and korean test have a too many question. But, korean students can study for test about 11 subject just 5 hours.
therefore, students can study only 5 hours.
But, you have to know first.
You have to concentrate for study. it is too important.</p>
<p>Huh ?!</p>
<p>I believe that this is a very open topic, because you forgot to state many things. I believe that the amount of study depends on your mental ability and memory and the amount of studying you have to do. If you have had a great understanding on the topic I believe that studying shouldn’t take more than an hour but if you dont feel safe you should study for a couple of hours. Nevertheless, if you study five hours I guarantee you will get a very good grade on your test.</p>
<p>who the hell are these people trying to impress by saying that they never study at all and are val or sal in their school. By saying this, am i supposed to assume that you are a genius?
Instead I come to two conclusions:
<p>I never study, but I’m not close to Valedictorian so…;)</p>
<p>You’re probably right though, I was forced to read an article in English class about how IQ doesn’t necessarily always match up with school performance and such. It’s a complex topic that differs per subject per person, so you cannot just go “Oh no study, genius, ace, all = sex = life”. </p>
<p>Surprisingly, the more I meet geniuses, the more I read about them (again English ugh), I find out that geniuses aren’t necessarily the people who are Vals/Sals or the people who do the “best” in school. No point in this whole bs anyways.</p>
<p>
Sorry, I have no idea what you just said. Basically, Koreans > “Westerns” in academics and level? Quite hilarious…</p>
<p>I once studied 12 hours for a AP Bio test(1 p.m-1 a.m.) with breaks</p>
<p>depends on how big the test</p>
<p>
Wow. I honestly do not study and I honestly am salutatorian and I’m honestly NOT trying to impress anybody on here. My stats are nowhere NEAR that of some posters on here - as if I could impress them by “claiming” to not study?! I’m not try to impress you! It’s just… a fact. I don’t study. I stated that fact, and now I [and other non-studiers] get ridiculed for “trying to impress” you? W tf?</p>
<p>My classmates are not ■■■■■■■■ either. They’re not mindblowingly intelligent, but they’re “retardation” is not the reason that I’m sal. I’m sal because the VAL at our school studies a lot, does extra work, sucks up to the teachers, etc. That’s why I am only sal.</p>
<p>My non-studying stems from the fact that I actually PAY ATTENTION in class, and I do my homework [usually… lol. I do homework that I believe will benefit my knowledge and that I don’t think is completely useless], and I learn the information the first time I hear it [in class, or in the assigned reading]. Any “smart” person should be able to get away without studying. A “smart” person would pay attention in class and not have to mindlessly study study study the same information over and over again to learn it.</p>
<p>Thus, I also come to two conclusions:
