USA: Typically for us, about 7-ish hours, I have to go in the building before classes start before then though, making it about 8 hours. Sometimes, we have half days, but they're pretty rare. We have all our classes, they're just very condensed 4-5 hours.

Here, we start at like 07:00 (Mondays 08:10 or so) and we end at 14:50.

Norway: 6-7 hours apparently, from 08:00-14:00 (2: p.m.) or 15:00. (3 p.m.)

In China it's about ten hours, from 7 a.m. to about 5 p.m. It's going to last till bedtime if you're in the last year and be preparing for the college entrance exam.

That sounds horrible.

Ah yes, the famous 996 culture.

In practice, is it 4 hours of paying attention and 6 of going through the motions, or just goofing off? There's been some research to the effect 8 hours already gives diminishing returns, if you're doing something subtle or complicated.

I'm not sure how diminishing it would be, but as a person who went through it, most of the time I didn't nod off in the night-studying sessions. I actually had homework to complete and I remembered knowledge studied during the time. Even if it's diminishing it's still a net gain than those who don't do the extra study, given that I don't stress myself out.
