▶ Your Answer :
There are two ways to study, either study in a group or study alone. People who prefer to study in a group claims that it helps them to concentrate more and achieve goals faster as they share common goals. I do not prefer to study in groups. It is actually a waste of time, since in the end, studying should be done on one’s own. In this essay, I will focus on the advantages and disadvantages of studying in groups, and the reason why studying has to be done by a single person.
Obviously, studying in a group is not totally bad. Students can get bored when studying alone, and fall into something else like playing games or web surfing, but group studying can prevent this. It also allows students to exchange study materials from the class and sample study questions that might be on the test. Therefore, it could be actually helpful in one way or other.
However, group studying is not always effective. With friends, the topic could go off-topic, resulting in no study at all. It would not be a problem if students are hard-working students, but even they could fall into the allure of darkness. For example, my friends, all studious students, and I were studying well in a small group, but after few days, we started to get loosen and went out eating for 2 hours. Focusing on studying was impossible after that day.
Studying, when you reach to a certain level, it has to be done alone. If one’s going to get an A+ in class, he must focus everything into that class and study in-depth. By all means, it requires a lot of time, and with studying in a group, it is virtually impossible to put the time that is necessary. For example, in order to be good at math, you must first memorize the formulations first. You could do that in a group study. However, then you must solve thousands of questions, which takes time and could only be done alone. This applies to TOEFL, TOEIC, school classes, etc. To be good at something, and that is what I want, have to study alone, eventually.

In conclusion, although there are benefits of studying in a group, it is not preferable in my case. I pursue to be the best in one thing, and group studying never allows me to become one. To focus on something, time is what is needed, and I can do it by studying alone, not in a group. Studying is studying, not sports. |
