Because I'm seriously curious about this...

(Times are subjective to whoever is voting, but I suppose really early morning would range between 5AM-9AM and really late evening would range between 10PM-4AM.)

On the weekends I start studying around 11am and study until about 6 or 7, or whenever I start to become less productive. I then take a break and do whatever for the rest of the night and then I do some review late at night, which I usually fall asleep doing.

During the day of an exam, I usually study all day but I get into some serious cramming in the last 3 or so hours.

I usually don't study at all besides the day of exams and the weekends before said exam.

I'm bumping this because it fell off the first page. Don't mind me...😀

My brain functions best in the morning. I have a lot of trouble studying at night. I do it if necessary but I try to avoid it as much as possible. I never study on a Friday night

I remember in undergrad doing this countless times-- I'd have an exam at maybe 8 or 10 am, but depending on how hectic my week was between work and other exams, I might not be able to study the day before an exam. So what I would do is go to bed at 8pm the night before, sleep until maybe like 1 or 2am and study at the library 2:30am until my exam at 8 or 10am and then pass out after it lol I just study better after I've woken up lol

On an average day though, I'll study initially after class in the afternoon. If I don't have class in the morning ill study in the morning

I like to get my sciences out of the way first. If I get home at 1pm from school, I eat and then do Chemistries and Biologies. Then I'll do other subjects with breaks in between. At night I do my math if I am taking it during the semester.

Regarding tests. I always review the material learned in lecture the same day. Weekends I hammer the material of that week until I know it. Then a few days prior I do a thorough review for about 3 hours. The day before the exam I skim over stuff but generally do not study heavy. If I don't know it by the day prior I never will know it. This has worked for me through all of nursing and 3 years of Biology major so I am not changing it now.


I broke my back... It's spinal.

Usually 2-3 nights before a test for a few hours each time. I have a hard time studying for tests during the day with all my other commitments.

Evening. I'm busy with other stuff in the morning (or asleep).

The most helpful thing for my grades in undergrad was committing to be asleep by midnight so I could wake up early to study and get things done. I think most people would be more productive if they did this.

I am most productive in the morning (~5-9AM). In the evening after dinner, I lose all productivity and am ready for bed.

I only studied after my classes, so usually mid-day. Studying at night was futile for me.

I get up every day at 5am, hit the gym, then study before my first classes, in between classes, until noon.

Go to work, get home, review material for the day, then maybe study or eat, and do absolutely nothing the rest of the day because I get ahead on weekends.

Bottom line: mornings are my most productive time, i never study past 6 or 7. I'm in bed by like 9-10 usually as well.
