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 session, so you can make the most of your time together.

·        Take turns teaching, to reinforce your own knowledge.

·        Stick to the session topic.

By supplying 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 friend is a person who encourages you to do your best and to achieve on a higher level, one who pushes you to try a little harder and a little better. If someone pulls you down the wrong trails of life, then those people are not friends,(they are actually your enemies), and you must avoid them at all cost. Whoever said learning can’t be fun? Learning is enjoyable and exciting when you study with others.

Guidelines for Getting a Group Together
Here are some guidelines for creating and running a study group:

How many? Create a group of four to six people. In a larger group, it’s easy for someone to get left out and smaller group can too easily get off track.

Who? Pick classmates who seem to share your interest in 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 understands the material better than 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 distraction and that has a room to spread out books and notes.

How long? Meet for no more than two to three hours at a time. Having a time limit helps the group focus. If you know you only have an hour, you’re more likely to stay on task.

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

Goals
"In life as in football, you wont go far, unless you know where the goalposts are."

If there are no goals in life you don't know what you want to do or where you want to go so you always have to set personal goals whether its long term or short terms.

Working together Helps Everyone

You may have noticed that when you’re explaining something you’ve learned to a friend, 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 useful . Studying with others in a small group is helpful because you:

·         Think out loud

·         Share ideas

·         Learn from one another.

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

Do the Reading

You need to do more than just read the chapters you are assigned –you’re expected to understand them thoroughly. Here are some tips:

·         Don’t skim. Read all the material carefully.

·         Break up difficult assignments into sections you can digest-chapters, subsections or even paragraphs.

·         Pause to think about whether you understand the material; ask questions in class about anything that is unclear.

·         Take notes instead of highlighting-this makes you think through the rephrase the key points.

·         Create a summary sheet of what you learned from each assignment you read.
