How Much Study Time Do You Really Have?

Jun 17, 2015

In this video we look at how much time is actually available for students to prepare for their Trial Exams. 4 to 5 weeks feels like lots of time for study but you will see that assuming a student works consistently over this period they will only have 13.2 hours per unit they study.

Make every minute count over these coming holidays and you will be that much stronger for it when you walk into the exam room for your first Trial Exam.

If you have any questions or comments, please send me a message on basecamp.

Working harder doesn’t automatically mean better results.
If your study patterns and habits are off, more hours just means more wasted energy.
Smart work beats long work every time.
