Personally, I find group study a tremendous waste of time and don’t ever do it (group beers/dinners are another matter!)

Just to emphasize though, practicing flows/call outs/checklists with your sim partner is incredibly important.
this right here - well said. We all learn differently - don’t feel obligated to attend if it’s not your learning style!!! Also one step prep by the spirit pilot was a huge learning asset.

I’m looking to start shortly with Spirit (pending). Does 1stepprep from the spirit pilot have a link? I looked on their page and considering buying the yearly sub so I can start studying.

True.... But the 320 app is available before you go to training. I used it to learn the limitations and flows before I went to class

Again, Ethos. Please don't learn a system before you go. Just say THR RED ALT and on day one you'll learn what that means. Ethos has full systems and buttons when the time comes. I too bought the 320 cockpit app and regret doing so because of Ethos.
