User blog comment:Nanashi-kun/Monster Hunter doesn't mix well with exams.../@comment-969093-20101212002841/@comment-3263060-20101212094758

Agreed. I usually stick to the same schedule (note that we only get half a day to prepare for each exam): study one hour, take a break for around 30 minutes, study again, break, study one last time and tadaah! xD

Seems to work for me. And of course, those breaks (and whatever time I have left after I'm done studying) are spent on Monster Hunter.
