Your study habits: attribute or detriment

[akijitsu]

I was just wondering what everyone felt of their own study habits. What are they and do you think they help or hurt you?

Unless I get up early to study, I can only go in spurts of 30-45 minutes, then I have to get up and do something else for 15-30 minutes (Water the plants, feed the dogs, etc).

I'm not sure if this would be a detriment if I was in a harder program. In my classes now, a B is not too hard, but an A if awfully difficult. It takes about 5 hours of study time to get a B on each test. To get an A, I need to do about 20-25 hours per test AND get lucky (in that the test questions are well written, that they actually test over what was on the syllabus, etc).

I've heard people say they study 8am-5pm straight in anesthesia school...

who here studies that way?

I don't, exactly, but I do put in probably 40 hrs/wk to maintain my 4.0 on top of class and clinical. However, a lot of my current studying is either with the TV on or interspersed with internet surfing and AN time. I don't know if that will still be effective in CRNA school.
