FAQ
How much time should I spend studying per day?
Most students should aim for 2-4 hours of focused study per day for major exams. Quality matters more than quantity - 2 hours of active learning (practice problems, flashcards) beats 5 hours of passive reading. Use the Pomodoro technique: 25-50 minute sessions with breaks.
Is it better to study in long sessions or multiple short sessions?
Multiple short sessions (spaced repetition) are far more effective than cramming. Studying material over several days improves retention by 50%+. Aim for 50-minute focused blocks with 10-minute breaks. Your brain consolidates information during rest.
How do I know my reading speed?
Average reading speed is 200-250 words/minute for casual reading. Technical material (textbooks, science) drops to 100-150 wpm. Test yourself: time how long it takes to read 3 pages of your textbook, then adjust the calculator accordingly.
