It involves getting together several individuals who are all preparing for the same exam. You can work together to determine what you\u2019ll study and how you\u2019ll use the time when you get together. It can be a great way to prepare for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ets.org\/praxis\/about\/core\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Praxis Core exam<\/a>. However, it\u2019s not the most effective method for everyone. Consider these pros and cons to determine if you should create a Praxis Core study group.<\/p>\n<h2>Pros of a Praxis Core Study Group<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>As a study group, people quiz each other as they review information for the exam. Then, everyone can discuss the answers and why someone got one wrong.<\/li>\n<li>Study groups can break up the information. Assign each person material to study and present to the rest of the group. That way, everyone gets all of the information to review without having to spend as much time researching everything in length.<\/li>\n<li>What are your weaknesses? What are your strengths? Chances are that you can find others who can help you with your weak areas, and you can use your strengths to better prepare them for the exam. Use the time to discuss things that you\u2019re struggling with.<\/li>\n<li>Since everyone thinks differently, you\u2019ll have a chance to learn how others would approach the exam and different test questions.<\/li>\n<li>Studying can be monotonous, but with a group you\u2019re accountable to each other and need to stay on top of the <a href=\"http:\/\/arc.duke.edu\/documents\/How%20to%20Form%20a%20Successful%20Study%20Group.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">study schedule<\/a> in order to use the time together more effectively.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Cons of a Praxis Core Study Group<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Although you\u2019d hope that everyone would come prepared to review the material, chances are that some people won\u2019t put in any time for preparation and will lack the motivation to use the opportunity to study effectively.<\/li>\n<li>If everyone isn\u2019t <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.einstein.yu.edu\/8-tips-for-getting-the-most-out-of-study-groups\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">focused on studying<\/a>, it\u2019s possible that the study group could turn into a socializing hour. It\u2019s important to prevent goofing around or gossiping in order to use the time more effectively.<\/li>\n<li>Whenever you work with a group, there\u2019s a chance that someone won\u2019t pull their weight. If everyone isn\u2019t equally focused on studying, then it\u2019s difficult to get anything out of the experience.<\/li>\n<li>Study groups aren\u2019t for everyone. Some people just study more effectively on their own. You need to figure out <a href=\"https:\/\/magoosh.com\/praxis\/5-strategies-for-studying-praxis-math\/\">what works best for you<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I\u2019ve found that sometimes study groups work great, and sometimes I prefer to study on my own. It really depends on the people in the group and their dedication to using the time effectively. If you decide to start or join a study group, think about the people involved and set a schedule that everyone agrees on in order to use the time wisely.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Should you join a Praxis Core Study Group?
