The benefits of Study Groups
Group study offers other advantages in addition to gaining a deeper
understanding of class material. These include the opportunity to reinforce
note taking. If your AP biology notes are unclear, you can ask a member of your
study group to help you fill the gaps.
Share talents. Each person brings different strengths, such as
organizational skills, the ability to stick to a task or a capacity for
memorizations.’
Cover more ground. Group members may be able to solve a calculus
problem together that none would have solved alone.
Benefit from a support system. Members often have common goals,
such as good grades. Each person’s work affects the other members, which
results in making members supportive of one another.
Socialize. It’s more fun to
study with others; the give-and-take makes it more interesting. And because it’s
more fun, you spend more time studying.
