Imp - Visa Officer can not assume that you were working 8 hours a day + full time study also.
if you are claiming full time experience for the period you were studying also; then you need to prove that you were working for 37.5 hours a week. I do not have much information on this issue; but if you search on this site you may get some information that how to prove same.

It is acceptable to claim work experience prior to graduation. You must demonstrate to the officer that the work done prior to graduation falls into NOC categories 0, A, or B. Please note that you may demonstrate the required one-year of experience using part-time experience that totals one-year (e.g. 18.75 hours per week over a two year period).
