How much do you study before the exam? *POLL

[Riddleman]

1-I was just wondering how many days before a major exam for important classes do you start studying?

2-Approximately how many hours per day during those days do you study?

3-Also what subjects do you need most amount of time studying for (i.e.: math, history, science, etc)?

4-What is your GPA?

5-What is your major source of distraction from studying if you have any (i.e.: gaming, hanging, watching TV, doing heroin, etc.) and how do you deal with it? Because personally, computer games have lately been taking up a lot of time that I could be using to study, and I feel really guilty about playing them (especially Rome Total War).

Feel free to add anything else regarding the topic. Thanks.

where is the 3 hour cram session option

 

[YOyoYOhowsDAjello]

1. Day before / Morning of
2. 8
3. This year, art history (can't BS it like Physics or Poli Sci)
4. 3.1
5. Anandtech, Games, TV, Movies, My "Dorm Theater", Girlfriend

How do I deal with it? I put off studying until it's practically too late.

I had 2 midterms this morning and I didn't start studying for them until roughly 8pm last night. I went to bed at 7am and got up at 9am.

Me so tired.

1. I start to study about 1 week before an exam in a major class.
2. I study for about 1-2 hours per day, if that.
3. All of my CS and Computer Engineering classes.
4.
5. Major distractions are ATOT, games and the internet in general. I deal with it by studying in the library. I can't study at my apartment, so I don't.

1) 1 day
2) 4-5 hours mostly
3) Anything that requires reading outside a textbook (books)
4) ~3.5
5) pot
