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 talking. If you are AP Biology notes are unclear, you can ask a member of your study group to help you fill the gaps. Share talent. Each person brings different strengths, such as original skills, the ability to stick to a task capacity for memorization.
Cover more ground. Group members may be able to solve a calculus problem together than none would have solved alone. Benefit from support systems. Members often have common goals, such as good grades. Each person works affect the other members, which result 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.
