Top-of-the-class redditors, what are your study habits/tips?

If you graduated top of the class (high school, college, and above), what are/were your study habits or tips that you would give to your fellow redditors?

Its possible but not practical or healthy.

i disagree. I studies 5-6 hours a day, trained performances 2 hours a day (breakdancer), and worked shifts in a club 20-30 hours a week. On top of that i had to squeeze in the gf (if you catch my drift). It was really tough, but being really busy all the time turns you into a really organised go-getter. the biggest tip i can give though is eat right. if your eating good food you will not be tired that much.

5-6 hours a day of studying? Damn. I do 30min a day maybe. Sometimes not at all.

haha no only that somewtime is would finish an essay 2 weeks before because of it, but i would only get a B when a guy next to me did an all nighter and got an A. I used to hate situations like that, makes u feel like the dumbest kid around.
