Some people like studying alone. Others feel it’s easier to learn if they’re part of a group. A formal study group offers the opportunity to not only express your own opinions but to listen to and absorb the thoughts of others. If you’re open minded, you will realize that not everyone thinks the same way, so finding out how other people approach a problem and solve it can be beneficial to you. Starting a study group isn’t difficult, but there are some things to keep in mind. Following are a few tips on how to start a study group.

Make a Plan
The first step in starting a study group is to make a plan. Decide what you want the group to accomplish. Define your goals. This is also the time to begin finding people who you feel will not only be an asset to a study group, but individuals that you will be able to get along with. Have at least an idea of the types of subjects you’ll be discussing and whether or not there will be limitations on subject matter. You don’t want your study group to include discussions on quantum physics if all the members but one are majoring in engineering.

Rules and Regulations
No one wants to be burdened with unnecessary rules and regulations, but some structure is required or the study group could go off on any number of non-productive tangents. Fooling around should be kept to a minimum. As college students, it’s pretty much a given that a little steam needs to be blown off intermittently, but the group should act as its own regulatory authority and keep it under control. If you’re too formal, the group probably won’t be productive, but at the same time, chaos is counter-productive.

Group Size
Realistically, the optimum number of people for a study group should be limited to five or six students or less. The reason for this is that larger numbers may lead to unnecessary disruptions if more than one person wants to speak at the same time. A study group should be structured enough to remain in control of itself, but not so regulated that it becomes stifling or boring. If more than the optimum number of students wants to be included in a group, then you may want to consider breaking up into a couple of smaller groups. If you do this it may be a good idea to interchange members within those groups from time to time. It will not only prevent one group from being stronger than another, but it will allow everyone to experience the opinions of everyone else.

Diversification
Your study group need not be limited to your circle of friends. Although you know you will be able to get along with your friends, allowing others to join your study group will open you and them up to new ideas and methods of problem solving. Schools of higher education pride themselves on the diversification of their student body. Your study group could benefit from the same thing. Having people from different areas of the country, or different backgrounds, could help your study group arrive at varying methods of learning and retaining that knowledge--and you may make new friends.

Formalization
Your study group should have a defined identity. Giving the group a name will provide a distinct personality--something for the individual members to identify with. You should decide on a regular meeting place and a time that is convenient to all the members.

Meetings
At your first meeting, everyone should be asked to let the other members know what they believe their strengths and weaknesses are. If you have a couple of people that need a lot of help with math, then your group needs members that are good at math. Everyone has some areas that they’re better in than others, so the math whizzes will benefit from other people’s knowledge and skills. In subsequent meetings, it would be a good idea to let everyone take a turn as leader of the group. One person would lead a study period or subject and other people would take over for other periods or subjects. It will be the job of the leader to keep the conversation on track.

 Are your school notes killing you?, are you looking for ways to make studying easier? are you at that point of your life where you think you can't go on any further? well your at the right place here I'll be sharing with you ways to make your studying a little easier. Studying may seem stressing at times, but at the end of the day you will feel pleased with your self knowing how hard you have worked. And believe me when i say this the grades you will be receiving will be very pleasing. Studying isn't something you do over night but rather a daily ruitine which requires hard work and determination. But not to fret there are ways of easing this stress of studying:



  1. Try avoiding distractions. Distractions such as the television, FACEBOOK, playing games etc. can hinder you from studying. Such distractions can only be overcome by you. You need to have a time set aside for these things and a time set aside for studying. If you find that you are exceeding your "free time" i recommend you drop these distractions completely.
  2. Don't limit your study time for only occasions where you have a test or exam. Study at every chance you get. This way you won't find yourself having to stay up all through the night studying just the day before a test, but you would have already studied long before hand.
  3. When you're in class it is of great importance that you listen KEENLY and with UNDERSTANDING. I know you may have heard this a thousand times but let me just show you  how important this is especially for making your studying easier. When you have an open mind in class and listen keenly, there's a great chance you'll understand that topic and understanding that topic will make it allot easier to remember, so when at home and studying you'll realize there are certain things you would have already known from class, so those can be left for little revision. Also trying to understand things on your own is allot harder, so its of great importance you learn it at school.
  4. As soon as you are given notes you can begin studying. This way you'll find how various topics of that particular subject are related and as i mentioned before you would have a great advantage in that you would have studied before hand for a test or exam.
  5. Finally, you can ask for God's help. God will make you remember things allot easier. As long as God knows you deserve something he WILL give it to you
