The title says it all. Post your bragging rights here. This is nothing impressive, but I am currently going for 24 pomodoros today with the pomodoro technique and like competition.

How are you doing spacing the pomodoros? 25 mins? So you've done 25 min * 24 sets = 600 min (10hrs)?

Yeah, 24*25 mins so 10 hours total. 5 min short breaks and no long breaks.

I usually judge by anki reviews in one day. 2100 in a day is my record. A good day is 1600+

13 hours--more or less straight--in a day during Step 1 studying. Had to use Pomodoro technique though.

 

[TheBoneDoctah]

12 hours or so with 15 min breaks every 2 hour

You studied 12 hours in a day BEFORE med school?? I'd be lucky if I hit 12 hours before an exam

I'm dumb as a rock. So I have to study more. 🙄

Better pace yourself. It's probably 30x the amount of material of a normal semester.

Thanks bud!

I think I did like 11 hrs once during UG finals week. At this point I can't seem to focus for than 5-6 hrs at a time. Yet, I can still binge watch Netflix for 12 hrs. Sometimes I question my priorities lol.

 

[OnePunchBiopsy]

22 hours straight using only caffeine & my fear of failing Step 1. Did 16 all-nighters during my 5 week study period as well 😉

EDIT: Oh and music, lots of music!

 

[gracie369]

Did 14hr days for 4wks during step 1 studying. No days off and no breaks. Two DVTs and one PE later I got the score that I wanted!

 

[DrDarce]

I've had my share of 12 hour study sessions.. does anyone else feel like time goes by way too fast when you're studying? I'll look up and 4 hours have gone by and then I panic because I don't feel like I got enough done

 

[Doctor Strange]

Dude, even for Step 1 I could only study for like six to eight hours a day...
