Why did most students choose massed practice?

6 students were randomly selected and interviewed face-to-face on why they choose their respective practice strategy.
All students said that time was the most important factor that prevented them from completing the exercises daily.
The explanation for why students did not want to practice every day was the cost of mental context switching.
They said it usually took 3 – 5 minutes to answer one question. Therefore, it was not worth answering just one question.
Another explanation: students felt massed practice could lead to a higher number of correct answers.
