Group study benefits

Most students are often unsure about their study approach when it’s close to exams. Thinking about the difficulty ahead can be daunting and overwhelming. We often see kids procrastinating and stressing most in the lead up to exams.

However, one thing that can help boost their confidence in exams is by studying in a group. Here are the top 8 benefits of group study that will make any child ready for their exams.

Reduce procrastination

A clear benefit of group study is its ability to reduce procrastination. Having to join a group at a certain date and time forces your child to commit to studying during that time. Furthermore, making friends in the group will help the kids encourage each other.

Learn faster

Group study decreases the time each child spends trying to solve a problem on their own. Instead, they can work with their friends and learn faster.

Build understanding

Another group study benefit is that it helps build a better understanding of problem solving. This is because the group has different people who all bring different perspectives on a problem.

Fill the gaps

Friends in the group will naturally have different strengths and weaknesses. Working together encourages positive collaboration and lets the students help each other.

Reduce anxiety

Studying in a group will also reduce anxiety as the students have assurance from their friends who are in the same situation.

Break up the boredom

Studying alone can be tedious, especially when studying for lots of subjects. Group study helps break things up and allows the students to work together with their friends, whilst still learning.

Double learning

Another exciting benefit is that your kids will learn twice. How? Firstly, they have to understand a problem themselves, secondly they can then teach their friends to help them understand it. If you can explain something to a friend, you will understand it better yourself.

Motivation

The last group study benefit we cannot forget is that when they’re down, they will be able to get instant motivation from their friends. We all appreciate the benefit of positivity from friends, it is great to involve this with learning.
