Research shows that studying in a group and sharing notes helps you learn and improves your grades. Here's how and why it works so well.

Feeling a little isolated while preparing for exams? It doesn’t have to be that way! While you’re holed up with books and papers in your dorm room cave, you’re missing out on the valuable knowledge your peers have to offer.

Not only can study groups fill in gaps where you might have missed notes or information, but they help keep you motivated since you’re accountable to people other than yourself. Staying motivated = getting better grades. It’s a win-win.

And now that finals are upon us, who couldn’t use a little more accountability?

Can’t get a study group together? Or maybe you have a group, but you need some additional perspectives? No problem. We’ve got you covered. Course Hero has more than 7 million course-specific study guides, exam materials, and more to help you study! It’s kind of like having an amazing study group all the time—with millions of people to offer new knowledge and multiple perspectives.

So get together and share your knowledge—online or off, or both. Share notes, compare thoughts, communicate, and—most important—get studying!
