Studying in a group can be invaluable in preparing for the examination. Analysis of test results indicates that candidates who studied in a group performed slightly better on the HTCE than those who were not in a study group. Individuals participating in study groups share their strengths as well as identify their weaknesses; find that difficult concepts often become clear as each member offers questions and discussion; and they benefit from the psychological support that members receive from each other during examination preparation.
Tips for study groups:
- Contact therapists to find others interested in starting a study group. (Groups of three to six people have been shown to be the most effective.)
- Set ground rules related to meeting times, study timetables and individual responsibilities of the group members before group gets started.
- Prepare a master list of major articles and divide it up among the members of study group; each member can write a synopsis of the article to share.
- Study with fellow therapists who are as serious and committed to academic excellence.
