Just got done with my finals for fall quarter! haha... Anyways, I'm currently a junior majoring in Physiology at UC Davis. I a 3.8+ gpa and have completed several extra curriculars on the side however I study wayyyy to much (at least 4 hrs a day). I study harder than any one I know. I know for a fact that I'm doing something wrong because I spend too much time studying. I recently have lowered my study time a wee bit by studying exclusively in the library and by eliminating music. I realized that music was a huge distraction and that I get much more work done when I'm in the library as opposed to in my apartment.
My study methods consist of listening to podcasts, reading notes and doing practice problems. I feel like I could be implementing more high yield study techniques to reduce the amount of time that I spend each day. Perhaps reading notes over and over is a bad technique? I also feel like sleep is a big factor. I usually get 4-6 hours of sleep a day, with 7 being the max (even on weekends). Any suggestions on how to study more efficiently?
