Getting the Most Out of a Session

Here are some tips to help you group get the most out of each study session:

·       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 knowledge.

·       Stick to the session 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 friend is a person who encourages you to do your best and to achieve on a high level, one who pushes you to try a little harder and be 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.
