I studied Economics for a test in earnest. I definitely get 90% on the test, if I study and memorize words very hard, but it's quite tough work. I've been thinking about programming lately. I don't know how programming will be useful to me in the future. Programmer is not my dream.
本格的に経済のテスト勉強をした。暗記をすれば90%は絶対取れるが大変だ。最近よく考えるのがProgrammingって勉強しても将来役に立つのかなって思う。プログラマーになるわけじゃないし。
I studied Economics for a test in earn've been studying in earnest for an Economics test.
I am guessing (based on next sentence) that the test has not happened and you are in the process of studying now.
I'll definitely get 90% on the test, if I study very hard and memorize words very hard, but it's quite tough work.
memorize very hard sounds awkward
I don't know how programming willould be useful to me in the future.

It was quite understandable already. Only the first 2 sentences were unclear as to what the time frame was...I hope I guessed correctly!

Yes, because you haven't decided to study programming yet (I believe.) If you are already studying programming then "I don't know if programming will be useful to me in the future." But they are very close, what you initially wrote would be perfectly understood.

I studied Economics for a test in earn've been studying in earnest for an Economics test.
But from today, I started studying Economics, so should I say "I studied in earnest for an Economics test." or "I studied for an Economics test in earnest." ?

Looking at it again, "in earnest" sound pretty old fashion and exam sound more serious. "I studied extremely hard today for an economics exam." or " I did some serious studying today for an economics exam" or "I began truly studying for an economics exam today."

OK! Thank you!

I studied Economics for a test in earnearnestly for an economics test.
I'm assuming the test is only about economics; if the test is about different subjects and you have to specifically study economics for it, then your phrase works. "In earnest" is a little too formal for the context
I can/will definitely get 90% on the test, if I study very hard and memorize the words very hard, but it's quite tough work.
You can "study hard" but you don't really "memorize hard," so better to just put "very hard" after "study." "Quite tough work" is technically correct, but I think it's more natural to say "it's quite tough" or "it's tough work"

PBeing a programmer is not my dream.
If you could, could you explain to me why "Being"?
Why not "to be" a programmer?

I studied Economics for a test in earnearnestly for an economics test.
No, there are other subjects and I must study Economics more than others.
So, should I say "I studied in earnest for an Economics test." or "I studied for an Economics test in earnest." ?

"Being" = gerund (noun) form of "to be"; it's way more common than using the infinitive for the subject of your sentence (although "to be" can sometimes be used as a subject, but it's rarer)
Dec. 30, 2020
Hmm... I guess it would be clearer to say something like, "I studied for the economics portion of a test" or "I studied the economics material for a test." You'd say "I'm studying economics" if economics is your academic concentration/major for example, but for a smaller event/test, you'd use "economics" more as a descriptor of something

I got it! Thank you for explaining to me.
