Title

The Impact of Study Hours on Student Exam Performance

Abstract

This study examines the relationship between the number of hours students study and their exam performance. Data was collected from 500 students through surveys and test scores. Statistical analysis was used to determine whether more study time leads to higher grades.

Introduction

Many students believe that studying longer leads to better academic results. This research aims to analyze if there is a direct correlation between study hours and exam scores, helping students optimize their study habits.

Literature Review

Previous studies suggest that effective study techniques and consistency play a bigger role in academic success than just study hours. However, the impact of time spent studying still needs quantitative evaluation.

Methodology

A total of 500 students were surveyed about their weekly study hours. Their latest exam scores were collected and analyzed using statistical correlation to determine whether studying longer leads to improved performance.

Results

Students who studied between 10–15 hours per week scored 20% higher on average than those who studied fewer than 5 hours. However, students who studied over 25 hours per week showed only a slight improvement, suggesting that excessive studying has diminishing returns.

Discussion

The findings indicate that studying more does improve grades up to a certain point, but quality and technique also matter. Students who balanced study time with breaks and active learning methods performed better than those who studied excessively without a clear strategy.

Conclusion

Studying for 10–15 hours per week is the most effective range for improved academic performance. Beyond this, additional study hours provide limited benefits. Future research could explore how different study methods impact learning outcomes.
