Tips For Success #3

It's time for another great tip of success! Today's tip: Study Groups.
Study Groups is a great way to get through any class with a breeze. Have you ever heard the saying two heads is better than one? Well this is a perfect example of why this saying is true. It is always a good idea to get into a study group whenever a test is coming. The reason is because when in a study group you get to exchange notes with others in your class. You get to broaden your horizons in a way and see what notes they have taken. Therefore you can take in more useful knowledge that you will be able to use on the test. For example if one of your classmates took better notes than you did on a certain subject in class; once in a study group you can take that opportunity to write his notes down so you could use it for the test. You could also decide to test or play quiz games with each other to learn the material. This seems better and a bit more entertaining than studying by yourself. So it might be a good idea to get out there, make friends, and get into study groups if you haven't already.

Good tip...It can be challenging to get everyone together for a study group in one physical location.

I would recommend to your readers to try using a online tool to manage your study groups. Try out http://www.grouptable.com

In GroupTable each group has their own private chatroom, discussion board, binder to organize files,task management system and more. Plus it's free
