Join the UCAT Study Group on Facebook!

Forming study groups is a very effective strategy for enhancing learning. This is because groups share unique insights and learn from each other. Group members can also teach confusing concepts they understand to other group members.

Study groups are particularly effective for preparing for exams such the UCAT, since the exam doesn’t have any curriculum content – so its difficult to gauge what you need to cover and the best way to study. That’s why we have created our very own UCAT Facebook Study Group for students to join.

Benefits of the UCAT Facebook Group

As a student, you already know how important studying is to being successful in school. Here are some study benefits that the UCAT Facebook group can give you:

1. Helps You Learn Faster

Students in the Facebook group usually learn faster than students who study alone. If you don’t understand a concept, you can ask your fellow group members questions that will help you understand. Having someone clear up your confusion saves time that you would have spent trying to figure out difficult concepts.

2. Fills in Gaps

Studying with the Facebook group allows you to compare your strategies with other students. If you aren’t great at dealing with a specific question-type, you can see other students approach and fix any errors you might have. If you’re a great at dealing with a specific question-type or subtest, you can help your fellow students fill in the gaps.

3. Sharpens Your Study Skills

Being part of a Facebook group allows you to observe different types of study methods. Your own study methods might be good, but you may also be able to sharpen your skills by adding new methods that your group study members are using.

4. Breaks Up Monotony of Studying Alone

Spending a lot of time alone studying can become monotonous. Joining at the Facebook study group can add a social aspect to your study routine. It also gives you an outlet for discussing areas that you are struggling with during preparation with other students.

5. Hones People Skills

As a doctor or dentist, you will need to have people skills and a good ability to communicate. Group study can help you develop these soft skills, which will help you throughout your career.
