It’s also about finding the right balance and knowing what works best for you.

Look at all the methods than work out which one you get the most out of.

Absolutely for point 2, pelf. If a student’s not having fun, no wonder they aren’t getting the most from study and revision.

I’ll said it for the squillionth time (and to regular readers’ annoyance), it’s all about the balance!

As for study groups, I found them of use when:
a. I had broad topics to explore;
b. I was totally confused about a particular issue.

With a selection of peers (and the wisdom of crowds!), you can understand a lot more.

If you asked me, I would say:

(1) form a study group — the group doesn’t have to have all members from your club/class but a small group of 3 or 4 is sufficient; and the most important thing is not the attendance of the group each time you meet, but the discussion that takes place.

I have seen students who get annoyed or angry because “one of us didn’t turn up”. Well, I said, that’s his loss

(2) have fun once in a while. ‘Nuff said?
