<p>Usually I spend around 3-4 hours or so, if I manage to muster enough willpower as to not get terribly distracted.
Essays and note-taking always seem to take me a ridiculous amount of time because of writer's block and distraction. </p>
<p>How do you stay focused?</p>
<p>I spend about 9 hours every day. And I only have 1 AP class this year because I am just a sophomore. I can’t even imagine how time-consuming next year is going to be with 5 AP classes! MORE COFFEE, LESS SLEEP. I get pretty distracted though from this site, YouTube, and college searches… </p>
<p>My counselor suggested playing a “game” with yourself to stay focused. He told me to muster all the willpower possible and keep asking yourself, “Do you have the self-control to keep working, or are you going to watch that video?” “Are you mentally strong enough to keep working, or are you a weakling that can’t even stay focused for 5 minutes?”</p>
<p>It’s not really a game even though my counselor thinks it is haha. It’s just a way of assessing your strength because no one wants to be called weak (even by their own mind lol) :D</p>
<p>An hour or two. More if I have an AP Bio test the next day. And I’m top of my class. I just find most classes really easy even though a lot if people don’t.</p>
<p>For example, I have a physics test today that I will study for for about twenty minutes during school and I’ll probably get a 95+</p>
<p>As a senior, I dont study at all. With the exception of when homework for my calc 3 college class is due. That homework takes about 1-2 hours and its once a week. Im also taking ap stats and ap lit but stats is easy and lit is just essays. In my other class I never have homework.
Being a senior is awesome. Except for my calc class. Its a college course so I actually have to worry about passing</p>
<p>“I just find most classes really easy even though a lot if people don’t.”</p>
<p>Love the passive-aggressive bragging. </p>
<p>For AP Chem tests, I basically study all night and still get a B. I get most of the problems right, but the tests aren’t worth many points so you basically have to get 100% to get an A at all.
In AP English, I read the books and reread parts I didn’t understand, and the tests tend to be more of an analysis of the book rather than remembering minute details, so I’m usually okay for them.
I don’t study for Chem II or World Geography. Chem II is mostly calculations and Geography is a joke class in which you can use your notes and the book on all tests.</p>
<p>Well, I apologize for clearly not being as amazing intelligent as you are.
However, some things, no matter how wonderfully smart you are, are still going to take time. Projects. Essays. College and scholarship applications.
QuestBridge applications…those are ridiculous. </p>
<p>Most of my studying is done for the SAT and AP tests…but I imagine you can get a 2400 easily without trying.</p>
<p>Sorry for the passive aggressiveness lol. I can be mad b****y sometimes. My school is really easy. We don’t have honors classes and have minimal APs. I know last year I would study all day for APUSH and my highest grade ever was a 93 (I studied at a college football game for that test and some students called me out on it lol). </p>
<p>Sometimes I have to work on essays for awhile. But most of my classes don’t assign essays. Plus, with work, sports, ECs, and my parents moving soon, I’m pretty busy anyway</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Lol what could you possibly have to study for 9 hours a day with 1 AP class? I have 6 college engineering/advanced math classes and I don’t study nearly as long as that.</p>
<p>Last year (11th grade) it was easy 10 hours. I got literally no more than 3 hours of sleep every night. And I wasn’t lazy, I just took on lots of AP classes, research in labs, clubs, etc. Hectic year. Now? Like 10 minutes haha: Go senior year.</p>
<p>in reality, my homework should usually probably take only a few hours, but i spend so much time procrastinating that i’m up until midnight most nights, sometimes until 2 if there’s something big due. it’s pretty horrible.</p>
<p>It’s unfair, but some kids just don’t have to study very much. For high school, a good amount is 2-4 hours a night on average. More than that and there’s not much cushion left for college. GL</p>
<p>I spend two hours, rarely three, on homework due to the extra workload that being in honors classes requires. LOL</p>
<p>Half the week, though, Im not as focused as much on homework as with studying and reading. Ever since I was a kid, my parents always urged me to study ahead if I can and read anything. Its stuck with me; I tend to study (in the sense of reading and absorbing new concepts) more than do homework, and when the lesson comes I already understand most of it and, as a result, the homework tends to not take as long. Added advantage is that I have spare time that I mostly spend on the computer. xD</p>
<p>It would probably take me 2-3 hours on an average day if I could just sit down and do it. Because of my excessive procrastinating, it ends up taking like 6 hours.</p>
<p>2 hours at home, 1 hour at school. Pretty manageable.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Trust me. You don’t want to know… Let’s just say history is my least favorite class after the amount of work given this year. I have had to pull multiple all nighters this schoolyear just for AP World alone. Luckily, the teacher is super nice and gives extensions regularly, but I (unlike my classmates) get my work in on time because I noticed she takes off points on other people’s work when it’s late.</p>
<p>0.01 hours studying
2.25 hours doing homework
3.66 hours doing projects</p>
<p>…when I’m not distracted doing CC, of course! 
I’m in two honors classes, and in eighth grade.* You guys all remember middle school. Super boring and super easy. I know this schedule will change come freshman year.</p>
<p>*I get it. This is the High School forum. Well, I’m a bit too eager for high school, anyways.</p>
<p>I take only about 2 hours a night on average for homework/studying. I expected junior year to be a hell hole everyone hypes it up to be, but it’s not nearly as bad as I thought. My friends told me that I was going to die with a AP-filled schedule but I’m spending more time on ECs than APs. Even with the 2 hours a night, I still manage to keep my rank 1. I’m bracing myself for AP season though. >_<</p>
<p>7 AP classes, around two hours a night average (can go up to five or six when I have a test or a project due the next day). However, I am staying up noticeably later this year than my sophomore (5 AP) and freshmen years. Still, I spend the majority of my time on non-school related things.</p>
