It's fear that pushes most people, at least earlier on in their education. You need to study more: if you take harder classes, if you take a heavier course load, and/or if you want to do better. If you're smart, have other resources (like a buddy who'll take notes for you) or already know about the subject, you can often safely choose to study less. My best friend studied very nearly every waking moment in undergraduate (and slightly less in graduate school). He also graduated with two 4.0 GPAs.
Best o' luck!

You need to study as much as it takes to know the material well. If you spend too much time in night life and with clubs, and friends, etc. your grades will most likely suffer.Often when you sign up for a course there is something stateing how much you need to study per week, or day. Or the teacher may tell how much to study. But some people need to study more than others.
Listen in class will help, but you need to read and study on your own also.
YOu can't just rely on remembering everything your teacher says. Also, take notes if possible.
It is better to take a little longer to finish college that to be swamped in too many hours of semester. Some classes require more study.

I studied on and off for roughly 15-30 hours a week (30 hours was usually on a big project or paper), depending on the subject and my mastery of it. Studying is really relative. I know that there are some people who just slack off and study the night before, receiving grades just as good as mine.
For me, it was the satisfaction I got when getting the grades that pushed me to do well. I honestly didn't think that I was going to do well in college, but after receiving good grades, I realized that I had some potential and wanted to maintain them.

I study about 40 hours a week on a full course load. That being said, I also have a 4.0 GPA. I think that it depends on the grades you are satisfied with and the amount of home life that you want. Good Luck to you.

Practice makes perfect.
The more you study, the better grades you get. Especially Math...you have to do equations over and over and over again, but that helps you be certain of how to do an equation correctly on a test.
It is like magic. Do the homework and pay attention to what you are studying......Good grades.
