CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
Since grade is a primary parameter of such learning, if a learner earns high

grades it is thought that he/she has learned well while low grades indicate poor learning
outcome. However, many have also found out that several factors contribute to the
grades. No single factor can be taken in isolation as predicting grades. It has been an
influence of so many factors such as gender, IQ, study habits, study time, age, year of
study, level of parent’s educational attainment, social status, number of children, birth
order, etc. In fact, almost all the above environmental, personal and natural factors exert
influence on academic performance.
The determinants of academic performance are a recurrent topic in public policy

debates on higher education. One largely unsettled issue concerns the impact of the
most essential factors in the educational production, student’s effort and study time on
academic achievement. While many would probably agree that students will not learn
unless they put forth some amount of effort, our understanding of the ways study time
impacts on performance as measures by attaining a certain course grade is rather
limited.
CHAPTER 2
REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE
According to Galiher (2010) and Darling (2011), used GPA to measure student
performance because the main focus in the student performance for the particular
semester. Some other researchers used test results or previous year result since they
are studying performance for the specific subject or year (Hijazi and Naqvi, 2018 and
Hake, 2010). Many researchers have discussed the different factors that affect the
student academic performance in their research. There are two types of factors that
affect the students' academic performance. These are internal and external classroom
factors and these factors strongly affect the students 'performance. Internal classroom
factors include student’s competence in English, class schedules, class size, English
text books, class test results, learning facilities homework environment of the class
technology used and exams system.
External class factors include extracurricular activities, family problem works and
financial social and problem. research studies show. that student performance depends
on my factors such as learning facilities gender and age differences, etc. that can affect
student performance (Hance, 2010) found that the most important factors with positive
effect on student’s performance is parental involvement.
CHAPTER 3
RESULTS AND FINDINGS
Research Problem: The relationship between the number of hours spent studying and
students' academic performance lacks clarity and specific guidance. While some studies
indicate a positive correlation, others suggest that studying for excessive hours may
lead to diminishing returns or neglect of other important aspects of student life. There is
a need to investigate how to optimize the impact of studying hours on students'
academic performance, considering various factors that influence effective studying.
Research
Solution:
Assessing Study Quality: Instead of solely focusing on the quantity of study hours,
this research will investigate the quality of studying. By examining various factors such
as study techniques, concentration levels, engagement, and use of effective learning
strategies during study sessions, we can gain insights into how these elements
influence academic performance.
Investigating Study Strategies: This research will explore different study strategies
employed by students and their impact on academic performance. By analyzing
techniques such as active learning, self-assessment, spaced repetition, and retrieval
practice, we can determine which strategies are most effective in maximizing the
benefits of study hours.
Individual Differences: Recognizing that students have diverse learning needs and
preferences, this research will examine how individual differences, including learning
styles, prior knowledge, motivation, and self-regulation skills, interact with the number of
hours spent studying. By understanding these interactions, personalized
recommendations can be developed to optimize study hours for different types of
learners.
Balancing Study and Well-being: This research will also consider the importance of
maintaining a healthy balance between study hours and overall well-being. It will
investigate the impact of factors such as sleep, exercise, stress management, and
social activities on academic performance. By identifying strategies for promoting a
balanced lifestyle, we can provide recommendations for students to optimize their study
hours without compromising their well-being.
CHAPTER 4
SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS

The number of hours spent studying has a significant impact on students'
academic performance. Research consistently shows that students who dedicate more
time to studying tend to achieve better grades and have a deeper understanding of the
subject matter. However, the effectiveness of studying hours depends on various
factors, such as the quality of study techniques employed and individual learning styles
Studies have demonstrated that cramming for long hours right before an exam is
not as effective as spreading study sessions over time. This phenomenon, known as the
spacing effect, suggests that students benefit from regular and distributed study
sessions that allow for better retention and comprehension of material. Additionally, the
quality of study techniques matters; adopting active learning strategies, such as self-
quizzing, summarizing key concepts, and teaching others, can enhance the
effectiveness of studying hours.
Recommendation:
Based on the findings, it is recommended that students prioritize the quality and
consistency of their study sessions rather than focusing solely on the number of hours
spent studying. Here are some actionable recommendations for students:
Plan and organize study sessions: Create a study schedule that allocates regular
time slots for each subject. Spacing out study sessions over a longer period helps
improve retention and understanding.
Adopt active learning techniques: Engage in active learning strategies such as
self-quizzing, summarizing information in your own words, and teaching concepts to
others. These techniques promote active engagement with the material and aid in better
comprehension.
Take breaks: While studying for extended periods may seem productive, taking
regular breaks is essential for maintaining focus and preventing burnout. Breaks allow
your brain to rest and consolidate information, leading to better overall performance.
Customize studying methods: Every student has different learning styles and
preferences. Experiment with various study techniques, such as visual aids, group
discussions, or online resources, to identify the methods that work best for you.
Seek support when needed: If you're struggling with certain subjects or topics, don't
hesitate to seek help from teachers, classmates, or tutors. They can provide additional
explanations and resources to improve your understanding and boost your academic
performance.
Remember, while the number of hours spent studying is important, it is equally

crucial to focus on the quality, consistency, and effectiveness of your study sessions. By
implementing these recommendations and finding what works best for you, you can
optimize your studying hours and improve your academic performance.
