There are some advantages of group study.
Different people bring different strengths and perspectives.You might learn things others understand better or didn’t occur to you.
But there are some disadvantages like:
•Distractions: Socializing can derail productivity.
•Uneven contribution: Some may slack off or dominate.
•Scheduling issues: Finding common time can be difficult.
•Pace mismatch: Some may move faster/slower than you.
Group study can be beneficial, allowing individuals to leverage each other's strengths and perspectives, fostering collaborative learning, and promoting diverse insights. However, potential drawbacks include distractions from socializing, uneven contributions from group members, challenges in finding common study times, and differences in learning pace. To maximize the benefits of group study, it's essential to establish clear goals, roles, and expectations, maintain focus, and ensure equitable participation. By being aware of these potential issues and proactively addressing them, students can create an effective and productive group study environment that enhances their learning experience.
In my view, it depends upon the given task. I prefer solo while group study may be helpful in other ways.

@Ridafatima95 So true — every coin has two sides! 
Group study works best with balance — when everyone respects time, pace, and gives space for all voices to be heard. 🧠

@Ridafatima95 Both group and solo study have advantages. Group study facilitates collaborative learning, diverse perspectives, and accountability, while solo study allows for focused, self-paced learning and tailored strategies. The optimal approach depends on individual learning styles, the subject matter, and the specific study goals.
