Pros and Cons of Studying in Groups 

The Pros -

Brainstorming and Exposure to Different Perspectives -  Studying in groups exposes you to people of different perspectives and opinions, which in turn allows students to share their different thoughts with one another. 

Regularity and Sticking to A Schedule -  Studying in groups allows you to set a certain time to work or study in. This, in turn, helps you better organize your time and stick to a somewhat structured schedule. 

Motivation and High Spirits -  Group studying is the best procrastination solution as it breaks the monotonous learning process and it makes you attentive to what the others are saying. 

The Cons -  

Distractions Are Inevitable - While some students thrive in a group setting, others may find it tiresome to stay focused when studying in a group. 

Lack of Efficiency -  Group studying hampers creativity and efficiency and when there are exams on the horizon, efficiency should be the priority. 

Impersonalized Learning -  Our brains conceive information differently, and in order to digest information correctly, you have to do it your own way, not anyone else’s.
