Tip of the Day
📖 Group Study > Solo Study
Even if you’re ahead of the class, group study offers wonderful benefits that solo sessions just can’t match:
Fills Knowledge Gaps: You might miss something important that someone else caught.
Boosts Motivation: Studying with friends makes the sessions more manageable and fun.
Shared Resources: Group members often bring different notes, textbooks, and problem-solving strategies.
Different Perspectives: Others may have simpler methods or unique insights when solving problems.
