What's the maximum you can spend studying?

Just wondering really.

Yesterday I started at 10 AM and finished at 7 PM but it's kind of spread out. I'd go onto the computer to get marking schemes and stuff, look through the examiners reports (I actually think that helps) and then go on facebook too for a bit of a break. I also take lots of breaks for food !

Some of my friends just do like half an hour per subject each day but that really doesn't work for me..

So how do you study?

some people reckon that you should study for 50minutes straight and then take a 10 minute break. I do this in 3 times in a row and then take a one hour break.Works for me and i also finds helps is studying a subject you like first and then moving onto a subject you dont like a much. As for how long you spend at your subjects you could do six hours around that ( thats what im doing) really choose a level of which you reckon you will have full concentration

I personally don't like to say ''I'm going to do 50 mins of Maths'' today. I much prefer to make a list of all the things I want to do that day, like so:

• Do Trigonmetry Revision Q's
• Have a look through French examiner reports
• English exam question: Paper One, Section 3, Question 2
• Have a read through Religion Revision Notes
• etc.

I then go through the list in no particular order and tick off the items as I complete them. I take short breaks between the tasks too. I find this to be much more effective as I'm not worrying about time and I know exactly what I'm going to do. But that's just me.

Thats the same as me but say if it's taking a lot longer than expected I sometimes end up cutting the list short and only studying my top priorities.

For a few weeks I have done 1 topic of English each day for example.
