Do you have an estimate of hours per week or something?

Do you have an estimate of hours?

Depends on the semester, the day of the week, and my mood.

Not everyone studies with sports center on or Netflix like I do. But I'd rather study for 5 hours while watching TV than 2 hours not watching TV.
If I had to put an average I would say 3-5 hours a day. But again, I might study all day Monday so I can have Tuesday off when I have less classes.

Depends. A few semesters ago when I was juggling DAT studying and trying to get a 4.0 in uppder division science classes? Like... 6-8 hours a day (like 50 minutes of studying then 30 minute break). Last semester when I only had 12 credits and only had to get 3.0+? Like 10 hours a week lol

I didn't study nearly as much as I thought I did in undergrad. I was a last-minute crammer. In dental school, it's not all that different. I've found the material to not be harder but more fast paced, so there's more to study in less time, so I'm studying more often. I just finished D1 and am surprised at how manageable studying in dental school has been thus far, compared to my expectation.
