Breaks during study (1 Viewer)

[HKK]

Reaaaaallly curious, how long are everyone's breaks? Because I take like a two hour break per hour of study. And does anyone feel they need to take a break for a whole day before resuming to study again?

My brain feels like it's exploding

I found that it was very important to take breaks, because after too long the quality of my study began to decrease.

How often would you say? And what are your thoughts on whole day breaks lol

I wasnt very organised with breaks, sometimes I took one every hour, other times every three hours. The length also varied and I never took a full day off when I was studying for the trials or HSC (although I did take 2 full weeks off after the trials). However, breaks depend on the person, if you feel you need a day, you should take a day. I reakon you should take as long as you need to ensure that your study maintains its quality.

15 minutes for every 1 hour, works pretty good. Or what I do was: do an hour of study, play a game of starcraft, study for an hour, play starcraft etc... If I don't feel like studying, I don't.

Study ~10months worth of content in 5hrs before the HSC, LIKE A BOSS!

lol my breaks during the trials were longer than my actual study in the end. i watched an episode of CSI every half hour. obviously i wont be implementing that method for the hsc.

Every hour I did required about 10-15 minutes break (at least). University is different and all that gets thrown out the window.

Off peak times: sometimes days / weekends / afternoons,

during exam times: It's usually just dinner, shower, sleep, and prob a 1-2 hour break procrastinating, then back to study.

No. But it's somewhere in-between atm (some days I will be productive, other days I do shit all).

Peak time would be like 1-2 weeks before HSC starts until my last exam

1.5 hour study = 0.5 hour break.

23 minutes study, 7 minute reading.

It was a study and sitcom day.

currently I take a 20 minute break after i do a past paper. but when i'm just reviewing work, I usually take 10 minutes every hour or so

Our school recommends 50mins + 10 mins break => repeat
