How many hrs a day did u study for A&P1

Alisonisayoshi, LVN · Jan 10, 2013

One of my grants requires that I meet with a "study" counselor each semester to determine my needs, set a realistic study schedule, ect for each class. Her advice yesterday on anatomy was to block 1 hour post class to rewrite/reorganize notes, 1 hour in the evening to work on memorization, and one hour each morning to review what I had attempted to memorize the night before. So on class days 3 hours on non class days 2. She said this applied to weekends as well. Her study schedules have worked for me thus far, and I've really only struggled when I didn't listen to her.

I took A&P 1 over the summer. The class was 5 weeks long, 4 days a week(M-TH). I found myself studying around 3 hours each weekday(M-TH) and like 4 hours on Saturdays. I never really study on Sundays. I got an A.

Zoe, I think you told me before, but who'd you have for A&P @ AACC?

I took A&P I in a six week session with 4 hours of class 3 times a week. It was ROUGH. I was also working full time. I would say I studied for approximately half an hour each night after class (M, T, W) and then 3-4 hours Thursday, 3-4 hours Friday. Thursday and Friday was what I consider lazy studying (i.e. with the TV on, listening to music, taking frequent breaks, etc.) I would hardcore study for 1-2 hours on Saturday. For weeks that I had midterms and finals I would add an extra hour to each study time. So altogether on non-exam weeks about 8 hours a week. I ended up with an A in the course.
This was my study plan that I copied from another post I wrote:
1. Read the chapter BEFORE lecture. Highlight only one main point in each paragraph (otherwise I'd highlight the whole thing)
2. Make an outline of headlines and definitions.
3. Make flashcards with the definitions.
4. Explain every concept to your family. This annoyed my family so much and most of the time they wouldn't listen but it helped to me vocalize and talk myself through it. If you can, do this with a study group instead!
5. At the end of every test, note which types of questions and which topics your professor is most fond of.
6. Study these topics like CRAZY for mids and finals.
7. Good luck and have fun! I loved learning A&P!
Good luck!

Great tips!

I took A&P 1 over 5 weeks. I studied on average 1.5-2 hours a day outside of class and got an A.

I think it all depends on what chapter you were studying, and or which test. Some times 2-4 hours and some times I put in 6 hours for tests. I pulled an A.

@Chelsea, I had a great instructor. She was awesome & her lecture style really helped me learn.

M-F 8-10 hours a day (the day of class I didn't study just reviewed notes taken in class) and sat and Sunday 6-8 hours. I got a 97% same with patho 96%. Made nursing courses a breeze because I had a strong base. Same with BioChem and got a 95%.[/quote']
OMG that's SOOOOOO much studying makes me nervous

I maybe studied 1 hour a day during the week. Maybe. On Saturday and Sunday I studied 5 to 6 hours each day. It was my "weekend class" because I worked on all of my other classes during the week and left A&P for the weekend.

When I took anatomy and physiology, I studied about three hours a day and received a 89% in the course.

A&P 1 was my first college course ever and I also had a 8 week English composition and a intro to psych online my first semester. I don't recall how many hours because it varied. On average 4 to 5 depending on the chapter. There were days I would stay up all night and go to class at 8am. It was all worth it. Dedicate yourself to your book and picture your goal. Definitely make a study group and use YouTube at your advantage whenever possible.
