I pay attention during lectures, and do mandatory projects/labs. I cram about 8 hours before each exam. My average hasn't changed form 80% in 3years of university.

Do you >5 hour people go to work or have a social life? I'm not trying to be a dick, i'm seriously asking.
Kevin Stewart
8 hours here, no, I have literally no social life. I can't remember the last time I went out with friends.
Come to think of it, I'm not close enough to anyone to go out with them.

fuck, thank god I'm not the only one. I'm ME too.
I was honest with my advisor about how much time I spend studying and she said I should be studying ATLEAST 3 hrs per 1 hr of class time.

I don't know what kind of Ivy League university you're in, but that sounds like bullshit. The recommended standard in my university is 1 hour at home per one hour at class for difficult subjects and 30 minutes at home per one hour at class for easier subjects

they count "sitting from x to y" as "studying"
"studying" is when you actively absorb, understand, and godforbid analyze or create new material.
20 mins is cool, i take about 1.5 hrs (comp eng undergrad)

>analyze or create new material
The amount of people on Veeky Forums who are active researches is surprisingly low. From polls in the past, it seems less than 10% are published. Most people here are undergraduate students, or just starting graduate school.
Personally I don't consider research as "studying", but it seems many people do.
