I completed college in 3.5 years, even taking off a year in there to work. I was able to get it done by doing 4 semesters of 18 credit hours once I started back. I goofed off a lot but got serious towards the end. Statistics was probably the hardest class I had. I had a tudor and studied all the time and still got a C. The professor would always start class by saying today we will be going at normal speed which is fast. He would get mad if you asked a question. It was all I could do to take notes as fast as I could type. Anyways, I guess its different for everyone.

same here.

i rarely study, partially because i study architecture, which means instead of taking notes and reading stuff, I get to work from 5 PM to 5 AM seven days a week drawing little lines in AutoCAD and 3DS Max, or cutting my fingers with exacto blades and inhaling resin fumes and molten plexiglass and laser cutter smoke

rarely

maybe an hour or two before a test,midterm or final. i still manage a 3.0 gpa which is good enough for me lol.

also cheatsheets ftw

open up wordpad, 8 font. use abbreviations for facts and such. cut out the part u used with a scissor. then tuck it in your lap

take it out when u need it

works all the time

Originally posted by BobbyV I'm majoring in Business Administration, unsure of the concentration..possibly accounting. People have been telling me that when I take 4 classes, some of which being managerial accounting, business calculus, etc., I'll need to be studying about 8 - 10 hours per day, 7 days per week. Sounds like overkill to me, I would get burned out pretty quick studying that much. What were/are your study habits like?

lol, you're studying that much for BUSINESS CLASSES?!?!?!?!!?

No no, he's not studying that much. People are telling him he'll need to study that much.

I average 10 hours a day, 7 days a week.

lol, i'm lucky if i averaged 10 hrs a week.

totally depended on the classes tho. all my meteor classes, it was easily 1-2 hours a day. other bullshit classes that i didn't give a rats ass about? 1-2 hours before the test. LOL.

some classes, were just suuuuuuuuuuch a waste

for some classes and some majors especially you will need to study quite a bit.

thats why make sure you like what you're majoring in. if you dont, you're really going to hate life.

over the summer i was at school almost every sat/sun from about noon till 8 at the earliest and midnight at the latest. it sucked, but you gotta do what you gotta do.

I do better in classes that are more intelligence-based than knowledge-based. That will tell you how much/what kind of studying you will be doing.

With math, once you get the concepts, a brief skimming of equations will refresh your memory and get you in problem-solving mode again.

With a knowledge-based class, you have to read a LOT more and memorize every detail, because you never know if some tricky question will pop up.

Math exam:
You don't remember the exact equation because you didn't study, but you're able to solve the problem and find the answer in a half-assed way. You get partial credit because you understood the theory behind solving the problem.

History Exam:
You don't remember shit, because you never studied. There's no way to work your way out of this one, and you fail completely.

It's really the easy classes that I have problems with, in a really weird way. A lot of the classes that keep me up all night are memory based. Fuck them.

Classes that focus on problem-solving and logic = Easy
Classes that focus on rote memorization = Hard (depending on amount of material), lots of procrastination
