study tips for 2 classes at once?

Hola!

I did well last semester (91s in both classes) but am in second semester now. I just can't study more than 3 hours a day...does this sound reasonable? Sometimes I am passively studying of course but hardcore, buckle-down studying, I can't seem to keep my stamina more than 3 hours a day. The only days I don't study are on the days I have tests. I don't include homework and concept maps in that time.

Nothing says you have to study all at once. You can do it for an hour at a time (or longer if you want), and break it up. I have a hard time sitting down and studying like that, too.

One thing I do for some of my reading it get on the treadmill, crank up the incline, and walk slowly. It keeps my blood flowing, which helps me retain more.

Change up your environment, too. If you're able, study somewhere out of the house, even outside.
