Overstudying.

Is there such a thing?
I have a feeling I am doing it.
Just wondering has anyone else ever suffered from it?

I do 5 to 8:30 study every day . And 3 hours on Saturday and Sunday . It is hard work but it pays off when you get the results . Sometimes I do feel like I over study . I get an awful headache and feel really tired after studying .

Well, I have been doing some study, just not as much as I had hoped. I'm planning on doing a good bit over Christmas. Motivation is my main problem.

Definitely such a thing! It's really easy to overdo studying. Take frequent breaks, don't overexert yourself too early on (it is only December after all!), and if you need to stop, stop.

I did the LC last year and definitely overstudied ! Prob 35 hours + a week :O teachers actually told me to stop doing so much study ! Kinda burned out over Christmas which can really depress ya long hours of study will pay off but ya do need some respite !

I am doing about that and last friday I burnt out and have been watching myself since found my Christmas tests went kinda dodge because I was too worn out to work the night before which I find is key! Lesson Learned.

Yup, and take it from someone who burned out completely after Christmas and then went on to get fairly high points :P
