A study group that gets things done.
Run a focused session where everyone contributes, everyone attempts, and the discussion has a purpose.
Agree on one module and one goal
A group chat can become a list of everything everyone is worried about. Before a session, agree on the module, the topic and the outcome. “Check our understanding of market structures” is easier to prepare for than “revise Economics”. Use the same lecture materials so that questions share a clear reference point.
Keep the first group small enough that everyone can contribute. Study League supports two to twelve friends, but a small group is often easier to coordinate. Choose a host who will open the round when all questions are ready. Decide when you expect everyone to finish, even though the round itself is self-paced.
Prepare one clear question each
Each person writes one question and supplies the correct answer. Read it as if you have never seen the author’s notes. Does it specify the context, units or assumptions? Can it be answered in the chosen format? If two answers would both be reasonable, tighten the wording or include an accepted alternative.
For multiple choice, include believable wrong answers that reflect common mistakes. Avoid clues such as one option being dramatically longer than the others. The point is to check understanding, not to catch out a friend with an ambiguous question. Include a brief explanation whenever you can.
A practical 30-minute session
Use five minutes to agree on a topic, ten to write and check questions, ten to attempt the round, and five to discuss missed concepts. Adjust the time for calculations or a larger group. This is a suggested format, not an exam-time rule.
Play independently before discussing
Let everyone attempt their friends’ questions without revealing answers in the group chat. Each person’s own question is excluded from their quiz, and each correct answer earns ten points. Everyone has one attempt per question in the round.
Once the group has finished, discuss the ideas behind the answers. Ask the question author to explain their reasoning, and check disagreements against your course materials. A winning score can make the session fun, but the useful output is a clearer picture of what the group knows and what still needs work.
Finish with the next action
Choose a few gaps to revisit rather than starting an endless stream of questions. One friend might find a tutorial problem, another might check a definition, and another might draft a fresh application question for the next round.
If a member cannot finish, arrange the next session with that person before the host opens another round. The current version waits for every player to finish. Save your optional recovery code if you may change browsers or phones; your player belongs to this browser, not to your display name.
Test it with your friends.
One question each. A round of revision together.
