Just wondering how many hours per day/week do you study for each DSST/Clep

As many as it takes to understand the material.
Hours per day to study Dsst/Clep - NAP - 11-01-2009
For a 3 credit exam, my goal is to study for 3-4 hours on weekdays for 4 weeks. That is usually 2 weeks of reading and watching videos and then 2 weeks of practice exams and review.
What is your study schedule?

NAP's description is pretty close to my baseline. I may study closer to 2-3 hours during the week and do more on the weekend.
How much I know about the topic before starting makes a difference, as does changing up the schedule to suit the content. Macroeconomics was more hours over a longer period and CLEP Info Sys/DSST MIS were a lot less. DSST Ethics was different. It's a subject that benefits from a little time to think. I studied very casually over a two-month period, then did a week of intense review right before the exam.

Being older and out of school for a long time, I make sure to allow a lot of time. Each week is different, due to other obligations, but overall I prepare at least a month with 3-4 hours for 2 to 3 nights during the week, and reviewing over the weekends as well -- probably 4 to 6 hours each day. Any thing I can get my hands on to help will be utilized, especially the forum shared information. The harder the subject (for me) the more time invested.
I know some can read and regurgitate the answers and do well on the tests but, frankly, even when young I could never learn that way. I have always had to study harder and longer -- the result is lots of "stuff" in my brain to retrieve at the strangest times
You need to figure out your style and not try to beat someone else's shortest-time ever studied record.
