Guidelines for Getting a Group Together
Here are some guidelines for creating and running a study group: How many? Create a group of four to six people. In a larger group, it’s easy for someone to get left out and smaller groups can easily get off track.
Who? Pick classmates who seem to share your interest in doing well academically. Look for people who stay alert in class, take notes, ask questions and respond to the teacher’s questions and respond to the teacher’s questions. Include someone who understands the material better than you and can explain the concepts and someone who doesn’t understand it as well, to whom you can explain the material.
Where? Hold study group sessions in a place that is free of distractions and that has room to spread out books and notes. How long? Meet for no more than two or three hours at a time. Having a time limit helps the group focus. If you know you only have an hour, you’re more likely to stay on task.
When? Try to meet regularly, on the same day and time each week. Treating study session as you would other activities helps you to keep to a schedule and ensures that everyone attends

The benefit of study groups
Groups study offers other advantages in addition to gaining a deeper understanding of class material. These include the opportunity to: Reinforce note-taking. If your AP Biology notes are unclear, you can ask a member of your study group to help you fill the gaps. Share talents. Each person brings different strengths, such as organizational skills, the ability to stick to a task or a capacity for memorization. Cover more ground. Group members may be able to solve a calculus problem together that none would have solved alone.
Benefit from a support system. Members often have common goals, such as good grades. Each person’s work affects the other members, which results in making members supportive of one another. Socialize. Its more fun to study with others; the give-and-take makes it more interesting. And because its more fun, you spend more time studying

Do the Reading
You need to do more than just read the chapters you are assigned-
you’re expected to understand them thoroughly. Here are some tips:
·       Don’t skim. Read all material carefully.
·       Break up difficult assignments into sections you can digest-
chapters, subsections or even paragraphs.
·       Look up any words that you don’t understand.
·       Pause to think about whether you understand  the material; ask questions in class about anything that is unclear.
·       Take notes instead of highlighting – this makes you think through and rephrase the key points
·       Create a summary sheet of what you learned from each assignment you read.
