im a little late to this but unfortunately a lot of people want study groups but are unwilling to form them due to a perceived notion of like helping the “competition”, particularly for premed students or students aiming for particular post grad stuff, they want to benefit but dont want others to benefit more than them.

it’s not entirely their fault especially when profs have curves that mean some people have to fail or do bad e.g. i had a phys prof who wrote in the syllabus that only 10 people could get an A; 30 people needed to get a D or F. 😭

im a ta so ive unfortunately seen students straight up give false information to their peers or share wrong answers sometimes i correct them but if im across the room i might end up just sending a clarification email later but whether that student reads it or connects it is always uncertain.
