I never really studied at for exams school. I do a lot of work at home now I'm at college, though -- because my course includes lots of essays and assignments. I still do no revision, though, but that's because I don't have exams in my course, it's all based on coursework~

I have never studied in my life and I don't plan to. Who needs to study when they're "teaching" stuff you learned in 6th grade?

Plus, I'm a genius.

I usually study while I'm walking to class. I've never done any assigned reading ever.

In high school, I always had friends or classmates asking me to either explain something or review a topic. I found that in doing so it helped me remember the subject better and be more familiar with it.

In university, I tend to have the same study habits minus people asking for help. That resulted in average marks. I am trying to do more work so that I can bring up my GPA. So I want to try to do about an hour but at the moment I am doing less.

EDIT: Chemical scares me. She is a studying fiend.

I deffinately wasn't always like this.

In high school I cram studied the night before until I feel asleep in a pile of my own drool then I would Drink a pot of coffee and read on my way to school and read at the desk until the tests were handed out.

But as I said - after going to university for 4 years I find out that I really can't do that anymore and to be honest its a lot less stressful when I manage my time better and I do, do a lot better on my tests.

Depends on the time of year. If I've got exams coming up within the next few months I'll study a fair bit. In the months coming up to my exams in May (say, from February), I generally revised for between 2-3 hours a week. Some subjects, for example History, I do a lot of reading outside of lessons online anyway (I can lose entire evenings just reading about stuff on Wikipedia, for example), so that's easy to revise for. I tend to revise at a pace, as well as cramming at the last minute. I know it doesn't help in the long-run, but I'd much rather be doing something intensive in the hope I remember one or two extra things for the next morning.

I need to start up a schedule when I revise, because at the moment I'm just being too lazy and unmotivated.

Science (Almost never I always make an A)
Math (about 10-20 mins if what I'm studying is hard)
Language Arts (30 mins my worst subject)
Spanish (20mins because its high school credit)
Speech (Haven't yet even though its another high school credit class)
Texas history (10-20 mins if I have to learn something)

Unfortunately I cannot start studying until like 11 at night (for example, it's 2 AM now and I have to read some Thomas Aquinas, write a reflection over it, and come up with a paper topic before 9 AM tomorrow), and go from there for as long as I need to. Even when I do study, I take a lot of breaks, but it's normally between 1 and 2 hours a night.
