how much time do you alot in studying for a major exam?

before studying i usually sleep first for a couple of hours. then i study for like 4 hours per subject or even more. i take short breaks ( 10 to 20 minutes ) then i study again. Its been a habit already, i do it every exam weeks and it done wonders for me. :))

I tend to spend lot of time on a major exam it may take whole my time when it comes closer but if i studied it before during the term it would not make me anxious.

For me, it greatly depends on the subject. If it's something I completely understand, I won't study much. If I need to do reading, I may end up studying for a long long time. I will probably then incorporate long breaks.

I don't study sincerely throughout the year. Therefore I have to take all the load just before my exams. There also I am not serious enough to start studying, atleast one month prior to my exams. I generally get serious when one week is just left to my first exam. But somehow I manage through the exams, and get a decent 50% in general.

When it's a major exam, I would surely take time to study... It depends on the subject I'm studying. In other subjects, It will take long, but in the subjects i'm familiar with, i just take a while... I only take short breaks 'coz long breaks may not lead me to studying again... hehe...
