At the weekend, at the beginning ~3/3.5

I actually don't know what my results were yet. But I'm hoping for 500+. And yes, I did 7 higher level subjects.
My grades did improve a bit/remain constant with that amount of study. I just found that amount worked for me, I was working really untill I got what I needed to be done, done. You''ll find as the year goes on, you'll find what suits you too.

As many hours as required. Usually 4-5 hours a night. Weekends the same.

But as it got closer to exams I tended to do the bare minimum and just study instead. Just burst through the exam papers the whole time, they were the **** for studying.

I did 8 HL subjects and got 8A's. Homework is grand at the start of the year, but for the mocks and stuff I didn't do any and just studied.

4 to 5 hours from the beginning of 6th year until school officially finished. (Though it was possibly lower for the last month.)
I rarely did anything on a Friday and I don't think I studied on a Saturday even once. Sunday, probably 4.

I did very little over the holidays. I did do my special topic at Christmas and I did a lot of practice for the oral with a friend over Easter. (By the way, that's absolutely the best way to study for the orals in my experience.) I also did relatively little from school finishing until the exams started.

I got 7 A's and a B1, all at higher level.

Personally, I need structure. I did all my homework very thoroughly and did relatively little study and I was fine. Working consistently makes your life so much easier. Instead of the year building to a crescendo at the end of the year as I frantically crammed, the last month was probably the most relaxing of the entire year other than Christmas. (Also, understand, don't learn off. You'll remember it better and for much, much longer.)

I probably would have had a lot more trouble if my teachers hadn't assigned much homework.

On weeknights I did three hours of work after school and on weekends I did about 4 hours on Saturday and finished homework on Sunday

About an hour, tops.
I'll let you know how that worked out for me come Wednesday.

Weekdays I got home at 4:30 and relaxed until 5.
Normally worked until 8:30 including small break for dinner. I did nothing on Fridays and 2 hours each day at the weekend
