A friend of mine who is a med student has studied 12h in a row. He said it went on fast actually
10am until 7pm
Oops, I didn’t read it properly, no break?
Probably, 2hrs?

Yeah I find it's easy to study for long periods of time when you know what you actually have to do instead of looking for things to work on

24hrs+ on the run up to my MSc dissertation deadline. I was living in the library and fuelled on caffeine and junk food.

Did you crash after you where finished?
3 1/2 hrs, 2 hr break, another 3 hrs
Probably no more than a couple of hours, as I'd want a cup of tea or perhaps the toilet.
About 90 minutes of solidly concentrating on nothing but my work. After that time, I end up having a short break or getting distracted by something as I lose concentration.

of nothing but work? 7 hours

I guuess the longest I've studied with literally no breaks is also 7 hours, the night before my GCSE chem exam. I just went though the entire CGP revision guide page by page (like 130 pages) doing read, cover, test on each page
