Trials are over and hsc study is slowly starting to kick in. There's talk in some classes about forming smaller study groups but no one is too sure what would actually be effective to do in them. What's worked for you guys?
So it was better to study with mates?
How would you study with mates though? I never understood how it exactly worked, like I know you'd test your mates' knowledge and such but what other study techniques would you do in addition to that?
I can definitely vouch for studying in small groups! Just make sure you choose to form a group (usually 3-6 is good) with people who actually want to study and not just have some massive gossip sesh
Depending on the subjects you could:
- literally just discuss the content (e.g. for English subjects where you can talk about concepts to refine your ideas etc.)
- test each other
- do practise questions (either by just talking them through or actually doing them and then discussing)
- get creative! My Hospitality group uses the whiteboard heaps to do scaffolds/dot points for extended responses instead of sitting down all the time.
Group work is really good for covering a lot of content in a short amount of time and its usually WAY more interesting trying to do it yourself. Teaching another person content has also been proven to be a really effective way of learning it yourself so its a win win situation.
