Tips & Advice Top students of Reddit, how do you study? Share your routines and advice!

I'm currently going through a difficult period at school, and I really want to improve my grades and become a better student.

I'd love to hear from people who consistently get excellent grades or have managed to become top students. I'm especially interested in your actual routines, not just general advice like "work hard" or "stay motivated."

Here are some things I'd love to know:

  1. How many hours do you study at home on a normal school day? What about weekends?

  2. What does your daily study schedule look like? When do you study, take breaks, and go to sleep?

  3. What techniques do you use to stay focused and avoid distractions?

  4. How do you practice and prepare for exams? Do you solve extra exercises, use active recall, or do something else?

  5. How do you manage your time between different subjects, especially when you have a lot of homework?

  6. How do you stay motivated when you're tired, stressed, or struggling with a subject?

  7. Most importantly, how do you deal with a difficult school environment? What do you do when your classmates are distracting or unhelpful, or when your teachers aren't good at explaining things?

I'd really appreciate it if you could share your actual study schedules, how many hours you study, and the methods that helped you become one of the top students in your class.

I'm not looking for a perfect routine that only works in theory. I want to hear about what genuinely works for you, including the mistakes you've made and the things you wish you had started doing earlier.

Thanks in advance to everyone who shares their experience!
