How much time should I spend studying? According to HowtoStudy.com the rule of thumb is: “two hours studying per week for each credit hour you take. So, for each class you should spend about six to eight hours studying. Fulltime students should anticipate spending about 30 hours each week studying.” For more great tips on studying and time management visit their website.
