It depends on individual that how utilities its day time for studies
I personally would say that when our exams are not near while that we should atleast study 3to 4 hours on daily basis. For exam period I recommend it should be doubled to score good marks.
Maybe 4-6 hours of focused study will be enough for a medical student is what I feel, as a quality study-time is more significant than the number of hours utilized for the study. The place should be distraction-free, so that one can completely focus/concentrate on the study. During exam times or some days when the energy is more high/down, the number of hours can be modulated accordingly. Within this hour range as well, it can be divided into a longer session with sharp focus followed by a brief break and during the break, with certain body movements like a brief and gentle walk inside the room, the studied portions can be recalled for the integration of the information inside the brain. After the recall is done, one can also note which portion was not understood/still not clear and what other concept is important to learn alongwith this one. When the study mode is on again, these things now can be focused for a comprehensive learning process.
4ā6 focused hours a day feels balancedā¦in Which 2ā3 hours for new topics, 1ā2 hours for revision, and 1ā2 hours for MCQs or clinical cases. I try to keep it consistent rather than cramming, and take short breaks.
Quality over quantity really matters in medicine.
Honestly, the study hours for a medical student really depend on the individual and the phase of the course. During regular college days, 4 to 6 hours of focused study along side classes and clinicals is pretty common. But when exams come closer, that can easily go up to 8 or even 10 hours for some. The important part is to study smart ā understand concepts instead of just mugging up, and donāt ignore rest. Overdoing it without breaks just leads to burnout, and then you wonāt retain anything. Also, clinical exposure and practical learning take a lot of time too, so itās not just about book hours. At the end, quality matters more than quantity.
Focus matters not hours.
I think the hours depends on various factors like how difficult the topic/subject is and how much work we have that day. I say about 3 - 4 hours in any form, like we can watch a lecture while going through the materials or just practicing some questions from the topic after going through it. Understanding the topic is important, so we should decide how much time we want to spend on it and the spend more if we havenāt truly understood it. Using a study timer helps me allocate time and see how productive I have been.
2-3 hours only focus in study is sufficient for medical students. A lot of studies sometimes take more time and it make you think about more things i think less hours and focus on studying will be better.
Study hours doesnāt matter .it matters how much studied how effectively understanding and revised before the exam it matter a lot
Revise things taught everyday . When exams are announced soend more time.
There is no particular timing for a medico to study in a day it can even be 10 mins to 6 hours itās not about how many hours you study itās about how much you study how much focus your giving to it and the technique you use to study
It depends on the year, syllabus, and personal pace. For most medicos, 4ā6 hours a day works well, but quality matters more than quantity.
It depends on the individual.
You cannot keep an exact count everyday. Study more when you can concentrate more. Mornings are the best, i hope. Spend atleast 5 hours a day for studies.
I think 4 hours of minimum study with high consistency is sufficient.
I feel just revising what is taught each day is enough, plus doing a quick pre read of 1ā2 topics that will be covered in the upcoming classes
According to me it purely depends on individual person choice of interest, dificult level of the subject,other core activities,but atleast 3_ 4hrs can be best time every day at morning and night hours to plan and study.
3-5 hours a day is something that I aim for, it usually covers revision of last topics and then only jumping to new topics. But the most important study plan is to get sufficient rest and food, so that your brain has its supplements to work properly.
Thereās no average like
What one could interpret and understand in 4 hours , the other could do it in like 1 hour
So, giving an average is like giving a corner to a circle.
Whatās imp is everyone should atleast go through the notes of the class taught to them on the same day
And on days when thereās no class , revise the topics or review them through flashcards or flowcharts provided by the teacher or made by themselves.
Hours studied doesnāt matter,
For me , how many times Iāve revised or went through the same topic matters.
Totally depends on the individualās grasping power. Its something that has to be tailored based on your personal requirement.
I donāt think you have tk study whole day to learn anything just try to learn from everyday life and just focus to do you self study a bit
