A method of optimizing a write strategy (WS) based on an adaptive WS study used in an optical recording apparatus includes recording buffered user data (UD) to a rewritable optical disk (100-500), performing a WS study when the recording of the buffered user data is completed, and recording additional user data that is buffered afterward according to an WS obtained based on the WS study. Accordingly, since an optimal WS is obtained in real time by performing the WS study during an interval occurring during the UD recording operation, the UD is optimally recorded.
