The student will maximize the net benefits of studying at the point where the marginal benefits of studying equal the marginal costs of studying. This typically occurs at the peak of the net benefits curve, which, based on the description provided in the question (though the specific diagram is not visible), would be at 6 hours. Beyond this point, the costs of studying likely outweigh the benefits, reducing net benefits.
