I refused to join one from the very beginning for the very same reasons you list here. It worked for me. My (totally unsolicited) advice is to study on your own and review with your carpool group while in transit.Paragon2Pieceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16186204100704440304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28957363.post-47457018414347196792009-01-23T09:44:00.000-05:002009-01-23T09:44:00.000-05:00When I was in med school I only went to study grou...When I was in med school I only went to study groups if I really needed help with a hard subject. Most of the time I studied by myself. I did get together with on or two friends to study at a library or something but that was mostly for company not for "group" interaction or help. <BR/><BR/>I don't see the point of joining a study group unless a) that's your study style (i.e. you just like studying in a group and not alone) and you would really benefit from it; b) you really need the help (i.e. are hopelessly confused all of the time, lol) and a group is the best way you can get it; or c) it fits into your schedule easily. Studying in groups can be a hindrance if you have limited time b/c some people talk way too much socially or about things you don't actually need help with.<BR/><BR/>You could let them know you might pop in from time to time if your schedule allows.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28957363.post-78383370921771423242009-01-22T23:07:00.000-05:002009-01-22T23:07:00.000-05:00Why do they care if you can or cannot go to a stud...Why do they care if you can or cannot go to a study group?? I am so confused. Study groups were always thrown out as suggestion and those who wanted to did and those who didn't didn't but we never gave a thought to who chose what.bleuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00467701792949981337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28957363.post-24600569222131729732009-01-22T16:29:00.000-05:002009-01-22T16:29:00.000-05:00I'm with you, not into the group thing.

Can you bow out for now, with a smile and a promise to try to work in a study group when you can?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28957363.post-75636147128184442292009-01-22T12:24:00.000-05:002009-01-22T12:24:00.000-05:00They always say that if you want something done, g...They always say that if you want something done, give it to a busy person. You are very busy and finding time for a study group it a nightmare. <BR/><BR/>When I was at law school it was hit and miss at the begining with study groups. Some students were freaks and either only wanted to copy my notes or just compain about lectures. <BR/><BR/>Eventually I did find some great fellow students for a study group and I'm still friends with them almost 7 years later! One I met last week and another I'm meeting next week. <BR/><BR/>You'll find the right people even if it is a bit hit and miss at first.Almamayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07206790533323008540noreply@blogger.com
