getting the most out of a session

 here are some tips to help your group  get the most out of each study sessions:

. decide what you’re going to do in advance.

. prepare for the sessions, so you can make the most of your time together.

. take turns teaching, to reinforce your own knowledge

. stick to the sessions topic.

By supplementing your individual study with a study group, you can reinforce what you’ve learned, deepen your understanding of complex concepts, and  maybe even make a few new friends. Remember that a fried is a person who encourages you to do your best and achieve on a high level, one who pushes you to try a little harder and be a litter better. If someone pulls you dawn the wrong  trails of life, then chose people are not friends, (hey are actually your enemies).  And must avoid them at all cost. Whoever said learning can’t be fun? Learning is enjoyable and exciting when you study with others.

Who? Pick classmates who seem to share your interest doing well academically. Look for people who stay alert in class, take notes, ask questions and respond to the teacher’s questions. Include someone who understand the material better that you and can explain the concepts and someone who doesn’t understand it as well, to whom you can explain the material.

Where? Hold study group sessions in a place that is free of distractions and that has room to spreads out books and notes. How long? Meet for no more that two to three hours at a time. Having a time limit helps the group focus. If you know you only have and hour, you’re likely to stay on ask.

When? Try to meet regularly, on the same day and time each week. Treating the study sessions as you would other activities helps you to keep to a schedule and ensures that everyone attends.

the benefits of study groups

group study offers others advantages in addition to gaining a deeper understanding of class material. These include the opportunity to: reinforce note-talking. If your AP biology notes are unclear, you can ask a member of your study groups to help you fill the gaps. Share talents. Each person brings different strengths, such as organizational skills, the ability to stick to  ask or a capacity for memorization.

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 others 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!

working together helps everyone 

You may have noticed that when you’re explaining something you’re learned to a fried, you begin to understand it better  yourself. This happens because, when you explain an idea, you need to think more deeply about it.

The same principle makes study groups youself. Studying  with others in a small group is helpful because you:

. think out loud.

. share ideas.

. learned from one another

In a effective study group you and other students hash out lesson materials together—explaining concept arguing about them figuring out why one person’s answer differs from another’s—and in the process you most likely learn more that you would have studying by yourself.
