<p>I’m still only a freshman, so I don’t have too much work.
For Music and Spanish I only study before a test (we barely get any homework).
For Honors Math, I do about 30 min homework a week.
In Science, English and Social Studies, they’ll probably in total give me homework once a week and sometimes it is very minor (spending only an hour on it) and other times when it is an assignment it is half our grade (takes about 4 hours).
Basically in total I do fifteen minutes to two hours each evening. And if there’s a test, another hour or two.</p>
<p>peachpuff, i’m in about the same situation :(</p>
<p>@peachpuff, I guess at my school independent learning (revising and stuff) is really encouraged but all the slackers never do that and all the brainy people don’t really need to do it (unless they’re freshmen doing university stuff).</p>
<p>It depends b/c my teachers usually fluctuate (need a better choice of a word) the amount of homework…but usually 3-10 hrs. - huge range…</p>
<p>Calc AB and Latin III independent HP = I can slack
English = always an hour
APUSH = 15 min. if I spread it out…2 hrs. if I cram
AP Chem. = 1 hr. w/out cramming…6-9 hrs. w/out (found out teacher is giving us actual college tests/homework instead of AP or lower level questions)
Journalism: 30 min. each day if I have a story…hrs of work going to go up b/c I’m an editor now</p>
<p>overall: durable minus the insane chemistry (I have no clue how I’m surviving chemistry)</p>
<p>
“Stick”?</p>
<p>10char</p>
<p>I don’t really do anything. </p>
<p>4.0 UW :)</p>
<p>I will have taken 5 APs and have a 3.9 UW GPA.
As of now I have 4 of those 5 APs and have a 4.0 UW.
The trick is to work in 1-hr bursts. At least for me. I carry around a book so that when I have random blocks of free time (even if the teacher is talking for 10 minutes in the beginning of an elective or whatnot) I can get a few math problems done here and there.
I don’t have any study halls, but I do have a “free period” for 45 minutes in place of my first period wherein I stay home and do some catch-up work from the night before most days.
So I’d say safely…
Weekdays: 1 hr./day
Weekends [counting AP prep] in total: 3 hrs.</p>
<p>I’m the ultimate slacker, I spend around an hour doing homework. Whatever I don’t finish I’m gonna mooch off of someone the morning the next day ;)</p>
<p>Not nearly as much as I should. The longer this year goes on, the less time I spend doing school work/cramming, even though the workload continues to get bigger. I think I have early-onset senioritis. Next year’s going to be interesting… 7 APs… :)</p>
<p>Actually the only class I put in any significant effort cramming for is AP Chem, and that’s the only one I can’t seem to make an A in.</p>
<p>I do about six hours of homework a night on weekdays. And on weekends I would say a total of maybe sixteen. No joke.</p>
<p>I’m taking Business Calculus, AP English 4, AP Psychology, AP Spanish 6 Literature …</p>
<p>whatever. just enough to complete it, get full credit, and benefit from it. not always the last part though :P</p>
<p>i spend like an hour on subjects like math, science, and english. Anything else requires less time. </p>
<p>But this year has been different, I barely study anything at all. lol
I was reading an article on the internet which stated that we need to devote at least 2 hours for each hour we spend in class. Formula 2x=hours of study, let x be the number of hours you spend in class/school. On average the normal high school/college student should study 8 hours a day. Sounds crazy right?</p>
<p>well so far, I spend like 5 hours on work on a school day if im not distracted and like 3 hours if I trail off an do other things. On the last day of the weekend (saturday where I live) I pretty much do the whole day. And on friday I do about 4 hours. I dont have much of a social life but i make up for that by dancing ALOT which isnt bad because thats where most of my friends are. But its exam time now, meaning I revise like what… 12 hours a day :P</p>
<p>I never do homework though, and so far I havnt picked up my history book in the last two years… But i do hours of chem</p>
<p>***…you guys do NO homework, but still have 4.0s!</p>
<p>APUSH-45 minutes taking notes (EVERY DAY, but its over now)
Ethics- 30 min
English- 1 hour reading some stupid Thoreau or Emerson
AP Bio- 0- but i usually have to study for 5 hours for each test
Spanish 4 Honors- none!
AP Euro-30 minutes taking notes (over now!)
Trig Honors- 45 min</p>
<p>so…3.5 hours and I still have a 3.5!</p>
<p>It really all depends on the day. Some nights I would have like 3 hours of just APUSH homework, while other nights I would have none. On average though I think i spend around 2-3 hours on homework and add on another hour if I had a big test the next day.</p>
<p>well, on average, this is what I spent on homework in my classes a night.</p>
<p>AP Calc AB - 45 minutes to an hour. Teacher hardly takes it up, but I like to at least do half of it so I am good on the concepts.</p>
<p>AP Euro - an hour. We have to do notecards and essays and read handouts and stuff. It’s kind of BS but I am pretty sure it got me a 5 on the test.</p>
<p>AP English Lit - Jeez. This one is weird. Sometimes we barely do anything and then others we have like four hours a night. It’s ridiculous. Suffice it to say, when I get homework for this class, it’s what I work on for the entire night.</p>
<p>IB Spanish 5 - An hour and a half at night. At least. This class is crazy hard. We have literature to read every night, grammar worksheets, vocab memorization, two-page papers… it’s ridiculous. I spend more time on this class than on any other and I am pretty sure I have a B.</p>
<p>So all in all about 3 and a half hours a night. Not too bad. A’s in everything except spanish.</p>
<p>My school doesn’t offer AP’s, so it doesn’t count against me on apps But I guarantee that our chem, physics, and calculus classes are more rigorous than most AP’s.</p>
<p>English - usually none
band - lol
bio - usually none; 15 mins at most
chem - at least 30 mins every night
U.S. - haven’t done any homework this year
math - same as U.S.
spanish - lol</p>
<p>so that’s equates to no more than 45 mins - 1 hr every night. not too bad.</p>
<p>I’m a junior taking 3 APs (US History, Chemistry, and Eng Lang &Comp.) and 2 honors (Spanish 4 and Pre-Cal), which is the hardest schedule you can take. We go through stretches of ridiculous amounts of work (like 4-5 hours) to no more than an hour, really odd. Generally, I like to do most of my assignments at home, unless I have a free period early the next day. I have adequate free time @ school to do most of my hw though. I have a 3.9 UW GPA at the hardest school in my city, so it is working out ok. But man this month stinks with all these exams and such, good luck to everybody :)</p>
<p>I spend virtually no time on classes (an hour or two on some days, nothing on most days) and dump a ton of time on competitions and standardized tests.</p>
