<p>Have you ever ridiculously over studied for a simple quiz? I’ve spent literally hours studying for an AP Biology quiz when an hour would be suffice… -___- </p>
<p>For those that beg to differ, I do see the light that there is no such thing as over studying, but others may feel very insecure with themselves.</p>
<p>I studied … four weeks straight through for a final exam (they’re oral in my country), because the teacher hated me and had tried to put my grades down. Several times.</p>
<p>I ended up knowing everything there was to know about the subject, every wikipedia article, had read the entire bibliography from our book, and of course, would have been able to write the stupid book myself :-)</p>
<p>The sad thing was, that I needed the knowledge. My classmates got off with ridiculously easy stuff (well, easy for me at this point), but I was asked things that weren’t on the syllaby…
Impressed all the other examinators though, and his increasing aggressiveness was … compensated by the kindness of all the others :-)</p>
<p>When he wrote down the A, it was perhaps the most ambiguous moment in my life: I felt ridiculously happy and proud (still do), but I was also saddened by how far someone would go to destroy a dream of mine and somehow deeply hurt by his behavior.</p>
<p>that’s crazy! how was that allowed to go on? i would be scarred:X</p>
<p>Believe, me I’ll never provoke a professor again. Ever. 
I’ve learned my lesson.</p>
<p>How was it allowed? Stupid school politics. Said teacher was son of an important man, and my headmaster… opportunist.</p>
<p>omgsh. yes. yesterday i was studying literally non-stop from the time i got home to when i went to sleep for ap bio…i didnt do any of my hw…but my teacher gives hard questions so i need to study my *** off =]</p>
<p>I probably under-study… I haven’t legitimately studied for anything this year. I usually feel like, if I don’t know the information at a certain point, I won’t learn anything useful by studying like crazy anyway. But my classes are likely just way easier than all of yours.</p>
<p>Yeppp I def. overstudy sometimes!
But mostly it’s toward the beginning of the year when I don’t really know what to expect. By the end of the year…I tend to understudy and cram in classes right before. Kinda stressing that way because you never know whether you’ll have time to study in your other classes…but …more time for sleep haha =]</p>
<p>I hate overstudying though. I agree it’s always good to learn and whatnot. But seriously, some quizzes are over completely trivial stuff I’ll never ever need to learn or care to learn. Just tests whether you’ve memorized a chapter in the book or not. And I study for hours…and then I get to the test and only like 1/4 of the stuff I studied is actually on the test.</p>
<p>Definitely yes–if it helps my grade, hey, I figure it’s worth it. I’ll end up reviewing simple vocab a couple of times (as in typing it all out), and people tease me for it at times. But then they can’t understand why I do better than they do on that quiz or whatever. ;)</p>
<p>Lol, nope, never. 'Suppose I’m now in the same situation as CC Lurker – I’ve really not studied for anything this year (though I once looked over some anatomy things that we never went over in class).</p>
<p>Even when I have things to study for I keep track of diminishing marginal returns and so take care never to over study ;]</p>
<p>“Believe, me I’ll never provoke a professor again. Ever. I’ve learned my lesson.”</p>
<p>I hear you. geez, this one teacher in my school is an absolute nutcase.</p>
<p>I have a nightmare story. So my Challenge { like Middle School Honors } English teacher told us we would be having a quiz on the vocab we had been studying for the past few weeks. She told us to study for about fifteen minutes but me being an overachiever studied for about an hour while I was Seinfeld. The next day, it turns the “quiz” would be on one hundred words and we had to sort them into categories. These “categories” were ridiculous like intimidate went into Courage but not Fear? </p>
<p>No one except for a mildly autistic boy passed. I got a D. The re-takes were supposed to be at lunch yesterday, today and tomorrow. However, we haven’t had school because of snow since Tuesday and it’s supposed to be 15 degrees *F tomorrow so the eight inches of the snow on the ground will just freeze. So, more than likely, I will be spending my entire winter break working on high school applications and studying for that stupid quiz.</p>
<p>A week ago, I studied for 2 hours (longest in my life) in 20 minute-intervals for a misc. quiz in the following categories: Weightlifting, Pokemon, Mario, Zelda, Basketball.</p>
<p>Owned it.</p>
<p>For the most part I understudy. I do study very hard for Calc BC but for me, there’s no overstudying in that class. I prep for Human Geography essays but I usually don’t read the text book or review anything. I’d like to say I study for Art History, but I really don’t.</p>
<p>For school tests I under-study like crazy. It was finals week this week and I probably studied about 1 hour total for finals in AP Calc, AP Lit, AP Bio, Span 3, and APUSH. For AP exams I’ll whip out the highlighter and AP prep books and study like crazy (especially for the exams I’m self studying).</p>
<p>
YOU HAD TO STUDY!!! Pathetic…</p>
