he said 8 hours a day will prob just get u by, but u wont be anywhere near the top percentile of the class. to put it another way...im sure after a full day of in class lecture, you must spend about 4 to 5 hours after studying. so total it would in fact be around 12 to 13 hours including class time per day. correct me if i am wrong
Equating working 8 hours to studying 8 hours is faulty logic.
Studying for 8 hours is much harder than working 8 hours. Who do you think struggles more from an hour of work, the general practitioner doctor or the med student. The answer should be pretty simple. Its easy to pass time with patients, but its much harder to spend 8 hours in book and at study. Our minds can only retain so much material at once. However,it can apply what it already knows for hours on end. (ex.gen prac doctor)
