Just wondering, is there a correlation between the number of people saying they don't study hard and the number of people in high-school and/or bullshit degrees?

I dont understand how people are saying they only study a couple hours for each exam and get decent grades..I study at least 10-15 hrs per class and go to all my classes, do the homework and stay caught up in the class throughout the semester. So yeah, like 50 hrs probably...

for real, what are your majors that let you study for 2 hours the day of the exam and still get a B+.

ive probably studied 100+ hours for all my 5 classes. But during the semester ive had to pull multiple all nighter to finish a 140 page paper on the valuation of a company. Im finance btw

For Principles of Bio 2, probably 25-30. The exam still anally violated me.

Magic was like 20 minutes, philosophy was like 20 minutes. Jokes of an exam.

Human anatomy probably studied about 15 hours, easy A. Only exam Im still waiting on is Bio but Im pretty sure it dropped my semester long expected A to an A- or B+. Pisses me the fuck off.

Well every final I had this time was comprehensive, but for just studying for the finals and not counting any prep work before the finals I did as follow:

Physics- Prob 12 hours total over the course of two days, mostly just doing problem after problem.

Ochem- Only around 6 hours total. Wish I had more time, if I had studied another 4 hours or so I would of gotten an A in the class instead of a B+.

Genetics- Around 6 hours, was my easiest final.

So around 24 hours total starting saturday and ending wednesday. However, I prob put around like another 24 hours in my final lab reports the week prior to finals as well.

Not sure how you guys are able to pull off like 3 hours of studying and pulling off a decent gpa, kinda blows my mind...

I did the absolute minimum for every class all semester, crammed at the last second, and pulled a 3.3. I was expecting at most a 2.5, and was hoping to god I didnt get a 2.0 or less, because I would have been kicked out for being on academic probation. FUCK EM!

I studied for maybe 30 minutes total, got all A's and two C's in Chem and Spanish. I've never really found the need to study for finals when you show up every day.
