I don’t do group study. I’m the type of person who knows what they have to do in order to get stuff done, at their own pace, and without “interference” from other people. Though group study is definitely useful if you’re stuck on a few things (so for the subjects with concepts that are actually difficult to understand, e.g. pharmacokinetics). The other things groups are good for is for a good old whine and to not feel so alone in being lost. But yes, I never was very productive in group situations. I guess relating it back to real life was useful (this is where a job comes in handy). And yes, definitely there were times when I wanted to give up. But you’ll pull through—everyone else is in the same boat and they can’t realistically fail everyone.
