In my experience it was just a way for people to bounce off things they didn't know about the aircraft to begin with. That just didn't make sense to me. I locked myself in my room read my books, not the notes or cheat study guides, my actual manuals. I turned out fine, some guys that were studying with each other for hours had problems.
It depends on how good the group is.
Some might be very useful. You might learn something that you had brushed past when reading the plethroa of information. Another person might have an idea on how to study/remember some piece of information that you might be having trouble understanding.
On the other hand - you might find yourself in a group more concerned with discussing the target rich opportunities at the local watering hole.
