Thank you for sharing the day in the life of a Cambridge Medical student. I heard some people saying that studying medicical at Cambridge is stressful. How many hours (on average, or during exam period) do you guys study per week?

[@life_of_lou]

Hiya! Thank you for the supportive comment! So it does vary week to week and year to year, but in the year I've just had (2nd year out of 6 total) I'd say my compulsory contact hours were in the realm of 24-30 per week, with another 10-15 hours on top of self study. So total of 34-45 hours per week. That was just what I did, and I by no means topped the year (far from it lol) but I did still get a decent grade and passed everything (which is all you need to do to become a doctor!). During exam term, I'd study a lot more - so I probably studied more like 12 hours per day during the 4 weeks up to and during exams. Hope that helps answer your question!

Hi lou :)) do u think that pre-reading helps with your studies?

[@life_of_lou]

Yes, absolutely it helped with understanding the lecture content and not losing my place if I get distracted/lose focus during the live lectures. It also means I know which bits of the lecture i'll need to pay more attention to because i'll have found them harder to understand when pre-reading the lecture notes on my own before hand. I didn't pre-read in my first year but it definitely helped me stay on top of things and understand the content in second year. It also meant i was super familiar with the lecture notes by the time I came to revise as i'd already seen/read them 2-3 times :) Hope that helps answer your question!! x
