<p>I see so many kids here that are taking almost all AP classes and keeping straight A's. I haven't taken any AP classes yet but don't see how you can be balancing that out with a great social life. How much time do you spend on homework/studying on weekdays and weekends? (i feel like there will be a lot of lying going on here lol..)</p>
<p>Uhh I’m in 5 Pre-AP and 2 AP classes and spend about two hours on average doing homework on weekdays. Weekends is usually just 30 minutes.</p>
<p>I take 4 AP classes (Calc BC, Stats, Lang, and Bio)</p>
<p>On an average day, I do less than 15 minutes of homework. Of course, that may explain why I have a B in AP Bio right now. Still, I’ve maintained a 4.0 UW this far and may be able to get that B up to an A.</p>
<p>I’m not an any AP classes (freshman)… but I am taking the hardest load possible available to me.</p>
<p>We get a 1.5 hour study hall or free period every day (block scheduling). So use that plus an additional hour and a half each evening to get a total of 3 hours a day, which isn’t too bad because we only have 3 classes a day.</p>
<p>On weekends, I only spend about 5 hours on homework… but I also make review guides using my notes, to add another 3 hours on top of that.</p>
<p>It takes me a long time because a) I’m a perfectionist and b) I check over everything a few times. Also I get distracted easily… :P</p>
<p>I’m taking 5 APs this year: BC Calc, Microeconomics, Gov and Politics, Lit and Bio. </p>
<p>Pre-senioritis, I spent about 5 hours on homework every night. I plowed through everything while still juggling drama productions, my science research project/competitions, tutoring, and other extracurricular responsibilities. To be honest, the people involved with each of the aforementioned acts were pretty much my social life during the week. I did draw a line, though, and refused to give up my Fridays and Saturdays.</p>
<p>Honestly, it’s all about time management and productivity. Good times.</p>
<p>Ummm… I spend maybe 30-45 minutes total on homework per day… that is… if I do it. [I usually don’t.]</p>
<p>What normally happens is I get to math at 7:55 and do my homework. [Class starts at 8:10]
I then do my French homework during lunch for about 15-20 minutes. And I normally skim over my English reading for about 5-10 minutes during Band/Walking to English.</p>
<p>So that’s …45-50 minutes right there during the day.</p>
<p>What I should be spending:
30 minutes on math
10 minutes on philosophy
20 minutes on band
45 minutes on english
1 hour on ap music theory
30 minutes on ap us
30 minutes on french</p>
<p>So that’s… 3h45m… Definitely don’t do that. Might explain why I have B’s and C’s. =/</p>
<p>But next year I will have a study hall every day. And three times a week I will have a second study hall. 5-6 classes… 1-2 study halls… great ratio right there.</p>
<p>20 minutes. MYP and AP and IB Classes this year haven’t given me any work. Or I just finish in class.</p>
<p>Junior taking Calc BC, APUSH, Enviro, Eng 3 Honors (no AP available), and Spanish 3 Honors.</p>
<p>About an hour each night on weekdays. Two hours on nights where I have an important test the next day (usually BC). For the first two months of the year, I spent about 15 minutes a day reviewing SAT stuff or doing practice tests.</p>
<p>My social life is pretty much cross country/track, which takes up about 2 hours a day. And whatever clubs I’m in. I almost never do homework on fridays. I’ll do two hours on Saturday/Sunday. Though, I have AP’s coming up, so I’m reviewing now.</p>
<p>I’d say I spend 1-1.5 hours per night on homework. Open periods in school help me keep the actual time spent at home working on homework down a little. My AP Chemistry class actually gives me the least homework. My honors short fiction class last semester gave me the most (and the most rigorous) homework. I don’t spend enough time studying, which explains why I’m having trouble breaking out of the B/B+ range. I’m working on that.</p>
<p>I absolutely cannot stick these people taking the same APs without getting hours of homework a night. </p>
<p>I’m taking only AP Chem and an honors math class, but I have :
two hours of math (or more, quizzes quite frequent)
2hours (or more, if there is a test/quiz) of Chemistry
30 minutes Chinese</p>
<p>Another way to look at is, is that I don’t finish until midnight but start directly after getting home.</p>
<p>About 10 minutes at night at most. I am taking two APs right now and the rest are honors.</p>
<p>Spanish: Do it in class if we even get any(twice a week?)
Health: None
AP Comp Science: None. Dodn’t even study for the tests.
AP Chem: 2 hours the day before the test. Which is like 1.5 - 2 times a week. I get less work in AP than in H and i had the same teacher.
US: 10 mins. Dont have to hand in the hw on time so i can do it whenever.
Calc: Do in lunch for like 10-15 min, or i dont do it because she doesn’t check.
English: 5 mins to read the summary on shmoop when we are assigned something to read.</p>
<p>I still manage to have a 4.0 uw goa. This has been the easiest year i have ever had.</p>
<p>@hobbithill i feel very bad for you.</p>
<p>I’m not going to lie, I do almost no homework and just cram before tests.</p>
<p>Ac Dec- Just a bit of reading
Health- None
Honors English- I BS the Cornell Notes.
AP Euro- I read everything before the test.
AP Human Geography- LOL.
AP Chemistry- I do some.</p>
<p>Wow, how the hell do I not get enough sleep?</p>
<p>^I ask myself the same thing everyday.</p>

<p>^Sorry hobbit 
That’s a lot of homework. How does your AP chem class give out 2 hours each night? We had about 30 minutes/night last year.</p>
<p>I also do homework during SSR and free class time. I do homework during history lectures. My history teacher doesn’t give the most productive lectures, so I prefer to study alone and use class time to finish homework.</p>
<p>My AP chem teacher doesn’t give much homework. It’s expected that much of the studying is something that the students need to plan on their own. Also, my school discourages busy-work, so that probably helps keep the homework load down.</p>
<p>Also, Umbreon ftw.</p>
<p>Not nearly enough. I do most of my homework and studying the period before it’s due.</p>
<p>For essays and bigger projects, it’s the night before. :/</p>
<p>This Year: 1 Hour.
Next Year: Probably around 5…</p>
<p>wow, you guys must go to really easy schools to be able to finish your homework so quickly! I’m taking 2 APs at school (and 1 outside of school) and I have about 5 hours of homework a night, without procrastinating.</p>
<p>The only homework I actually do is Stats, and that’s 1-2 hours per night, 3 lately because all the problems take 15 minutes to do. Other than that, none.</p>
