you guys think it's better to study with a partner or by yourself ? I study 3 days a week with someone and 2/3 days by myself. I go at my own speed by myself and if i didn't understand something I redo it until I get it. but with a partner I get more done because we push each other.opinions?
 
This is surely a personal opinion thing.

Working with a partner would SERIOUSLY have not worked for me. We all learn at different paces, and we are all at different spots academically. I do not think it would be bad to have a friend who is going through the same process so you can both gripe, vent, and share study tips together. It's always nice to have someone who understands and can motivate you! However, I would have NEVER gotten so much accomplished if I had literally sat down with a study-buddy as I prepared for this test. I am much better as a solo learner.
 
I spent most of the time studying on my own, but I did meet up with one of my buddies to study once in a while to talk about things we were stuck on. However if you are getting more done with your friend, then definitely keep it up.
 
It depends. Most of the time I study by myself. If I decide to study with someone else, I make sure that the person I'm studying with has similar grades. Otherwise, I felt it was complete waste of my time teaching materials to others and spend less time to find what I'm weak on.
 
I like to associate myself with people smarter. That probably gives a slight burden on them, but I learn a lot better when I'm around people that actually care about their work.
Working with a smarter/motivated person that won't "yapyapyap" the entire time, motivates me and helps me learn better.

Otherwise, I will solo-learn.
I think DAT is a lot better done in solo.
