OK, I taught statistics and psych research methods and my heuristic is 3 hours outside class study for every hour in class.

you can use timing\n5 hours study 1 hour sleep\nwith this method you sleep only 4 hours a day and don't feel sleepy\nif you want more sleep try 3-1

It's like he said, credits are the same as hours.  Put it like this:  I'm guessing you're probably taking 4 classes.  If you are then you go to class 12 hours a week.  Let's say your 4 classes are on T and R and they each last for 1:15.  Even though 1:15+1:15 is 2:30, schools round that up to 3 hours.

the easy answer is, plan ahead and don't leave all your studying to the last minute :-)\n\nIf you don't have other classes to work around, here is what I would suggest:\n\nT=9:00      Wake up, get ready for the day\nT=9:30    Grab breakfast to eat while you study\nT=9:45    Study for an hour\nT=10:45   Get up, stretch, use the bathroom\nT=11:00   Study for another hour\nT=12:00   Check email, go chat with friends, and otherwise take a break.  Get some lunch.\nT=12:30   Go to a different place to study.  Try the library, or a commons room.\nT=12:45   Study a new subject for two hours (if you have more than one to work on).\nT=2:45   Get up and find somewhere new to study you haven't been to yet today.  Grab a snack on the way.\nT=3:00   Study another two hours\nT=5:00   Break!  Spend an hour or two with friends, playing a game, or basically de-stressing\nT=6:00   Eat dinner, start gearing up to study again\nT=6:45   Make your way back to somewhere comfortable to study\nT=7:00  Settle in and study as long as you can stand\nT=10:00ish Get up, check email, move around, head back to your room if you're not there already\nT=10:30ish Bring your most boring study material to bed with you.  Read it until you fall asleep.  You'll either get lots read (good) or get plenty of sleep (also good) :-)\n\nThis assumes you have a full day, but this gives you a good 11+ hours of studying, and still time to eat, talk with your friends, and generally not go crazy.  It also gives you at least 9 hours of sleep at night, which will really help!\n\nStudying in multiple places throughout the day helps keep you from getting bored (and sleepy) while you work.  Also, if always study the same subjects in the same rooms, it really helps your brain absorb the information faster (strange, but true!).  If your test involves remembering a bunch of facts (like who painted each of these pictures, when, what techniques did they use, etc), study each thing (painting, in this case) in a different room.  Then when you get to the test you can see a painting and remember "Oh, I read that one while sitting in the stairwell.  That means it was painted in X year by so-and-so."  It helps you keep the information from getting all mixed up in your head!

1-2 hours. It should be something educational.

I usually took 18-21.  It all depends on what your other responsibilities are.  Will you be active in sports, volunteering, working, etc.?  If you are doing those things...or are really there to party, then I wouldn't take more than 12 credit hours.

Take a break for 15 minutes every hour of studying. That leaves you 45 minutes of studying. Once done, treat yourself.

what time do you have to be at school? take a nap if you can fit at least three hours in.

No one ever wants to study.  Your best bet would be to study with a group, read out loud, or break it up and study for like 15 minutes and take a 5 minute break.  If you try to study for say an hour, you're not going to keep anything in your head because since you don't want to study, you won't be paying attention, and you'll only be wasting your time.

Study in increments.  Spend 10 minutes, then take a break for a minute, then spend another 10 minutes, and so on.  Just like repetitions at the gym, study in "sets" and you will be more successful.  I also drink a soda (Coke or Pepsi) 20 minutes before a test.  For whatever reason, I remember more, after the soda.  Get plenty of sleep too.  You will not learn if you are tired!  You will spend more time thinking about sleep, rather than your studies!  Also, if you are laying in bed, unable to sleep, get up and study for another 10 minutes.

If you believe the studies - your brain cannot remain focused for longer than 40 minutes at a time, needing a serious change in pace already after 20 minutes. So- take a break every 40 minutes and change your approach. Switch between reading for 20 minutes to memorizing, to creating little rhymes that help you memorize, to writing, etc. Change your approach every 20 minutes. Change your subject every 40 minutes

I wouldn't recommend it. Try studying at least 4 or 5 nights in advance, you don't have to study a lot, but more like the first night review, second night, review, third night look over stuff your not so sure about, ask questions, fourth night review everything, or flash cards, and the fifth night study at least 2 hours, but don't over due it, cuz you might stress yourself out way too much. If you don't like structured studying, try to glance it over a couple of weeks in advance, and everyday look over it for like 5 minutes, and than the night before the final go over everything. Hope that helps!

It depends. What are you doing when you check the time? If you are taking classes that start on the hour, it could mean you get bored 11 minutes in.
