Frequently Asked Questions

How much study time is too much?
50+ hours/week total academic time can lead to burnout. Build in breaks. Quality over quantity - focused 2-hour sessions beat distracted 4-hour sessions.
When should I study?
Study difficult subjects when alert (usually morning). Review within 24 hours of lecture. Space studying over days rather than cramming.
