# See how much study time each course receives.

Record problem sets, reading, and lab work by course, so you can look back at what filled the week. Compare your recorded study hours across the semester without a public profile or a streak to maintain.

-   Keep each course's work together
    
    See your problem sets, readings, and labs alongside the hours they took. Add a short note so the record still makes sense later.
    
-   Keep breaks out of your study total
    
    Keep a record of study sessions without counting the whole afternoon at your desk. A missed break can be corrected later.
    
-   Plan from the time you recorded
    
    Review the past week or month to see which courses took the most time. Compare those hours with the work left before exams.
    

One long afternoon at a desk can include several courses and a long break. Separate session totals show which course received the time. Use practice results alongside the hours to decide what needs more attention.

Start with your next problem set, reading, or lab session. Keep a record you can review without a school login, social feed, or streak warning. For an upcoming deadline, use the [study time calculator](/tools/study-time-calculator) to check whether the work left fits your available hours.
