How many hours do you study per day?

Or, what's the most you've done?

I study 3 hours a day for my Health Science class (A&P & Micro), and at least 30 minutes for Chemistry. Last week I had a Chemistry test, so I studied extra, about 4 1/2 hours a day. Now I have an Exam on Monday that I'm concerned about, so I think I've studied five hours today so far, and I'll do at least 1-2 more. Sometimes I wonder how I do this and how long I can keep up the pace, only a few weeks into the semester!

Of course, you should see my house! :uhoh21:

I've done the majority of my courses online, so everything is outside of class time. That's why I wondered. This semester, I am taking my first offline class in 11 years. It is a little frustrating because I became used to having all my assignments and information in one spot. This teacher spreads out assignments and course information throughout the lecture time, so they get interspersed with my notes and then I have trouble finding them to keep up on everything. It's good practice for nursing school, since that will be mostly in person classes.

So, to answer the question, I guess I study about 2 hours a day on weekdays. That's for 3-4 courses. I know it doesn't fit the lecture/study ratio mentioned earlier, but I have 3 little kids also and this is as much focused time as I can muster. I also stay up late working on assignments, so maybe 4 hours a day is more accurate. I fall asleep sitting up, so I know there's no more candle burning available!
