"Soler" has no preterito, only imperfecto for past tense because it is only used to indicate something that is/was habitual, and it has just two subjunctive tenses for present and past imperfect.

"Soler" is used with another verb and "acostubrar" is not but in the end they mean the same.

Your sentence #1 says you were used to / acostumed to studying ........

Your sentence #2 says you became acostumed to studying ..........

Your sentence #3 is incorrect because "solí" dosen´t exist, but using "solía" would indicate you habitually studied ..................
