Study Time

by wayneyau1214 » Wed Sep 26, 2012 1:35 am
I just started studying about a month ago and I've spent roughly 2-3 hours a day (usually in the mornings) studying. I don't know if that's enough! Besides working part time, cooking and working out at the gym, I spend most of my free time studying. Lately I've been considering giving up the gym in favor of more study time. Do you guys think that's necessary? I originally planned about 6 hours of study spread out through the whole day, but that's not going to happen if I keep working out. So, the bottom line is, do I need that much study time?

No.

Don't study every day. Also, don't work out every day. Maybe study every other day and work out on the days you don't study? Or something like that. You definitely don't need to be studying six hours a day -- you won't really improve like that, you'll just burn out.

Stay healthy!

Have you taken a practice test yet?

This will give you a nice idea of your current abilities and, more importantly, give you an idea of how much preparation is required to reach your target score.
