I don’t see what the point of a rule of thumb is for studying like two hours for every one class. You could do that, but just study as much as you need to to know the material. Everyone is diff. and will take in info differently. So whatever works for you. Typically though yes they say study for twice as long as you’re in the class.

I basically study until I understand all the day’s material and have finished my homework. Then I take 15 minutes to go over the material for the next day (if we have a syllabus that tells us that). That way when I come to class I’ll understand the in-class material better since I’ve already seen it the night before.

It will depend on what kind of classes you’re taking. It always takes me more than an hour to do math homework, but no more than an hour for English since I am better at it (unless I have an essay due).

If you’re taking four classes and are studying more than 5-6 hours a night (this is a lot for all but the most dedicated students), though, then I’d go ask your teachers for advice on what to do and how to lighten your workload. It’s hard to give advice since I don’t know your strengths/weaknesses.

Hello, I know this is going to sound excessive…but you will notice that many professor will tell you that you need to study 3 hrs for every credit hour your taking. Therefore if you are taking a 3 credit hour class you should be studying 9 hours a week for that class. So far iin my many years of college studying… I have not studied that much.

Good luck
