<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Answer
I think studying with only a friend or two is the best
method for studying. If you have too many classmates
together studying for something, it could get a little
distracting. Maybe not everybody is as dedicated to studying
as they should be. One person will want to take a break and
talk about other things. Then another person will agree, but
maybe the other students still want to study. When the
students that took a break come back to the rest of the
group, they will want to know what they missed and time must
be taken out to explain to them what the group was studying
while they were gone. If you only have one or two other
people studying with you, it is not as hard to get
distracted and it is easier to manage a few people rather
than a whole group. I think it is definitely best for
students to study with just a friend or two if they are
really serious about studying.
