As a 3L about to take her last final this afternoon (!!!!!), I sympathize. My law school is a little less competitive (and is notorious for giving C's), so I've never had to deal with the same amount of pressure, but I know what it's like to have one's entire grade rest upon one final. In a word, it sucks. I'm also not big on study groups, mainly because of the drama. I've had study groups for individual classes, but wasn't a part of one first year except for my legal writing class. My study group for Secured Transactions leaned towards the drama side--what do you expect when you get five stressed out women together, lol. At a certain point, we just had to go our separate ways to avoid killing each other. That being said, you do get along with the rest of your group. Cut the fat. It's a hard lesson to learn, but it applies to multiple facets of life--cut out those who hurt you, or drag you down, or basically suck. The confrontation part sucks, but the end result is worth it.
Good luck with finals, sugar. I'm sure you'll rock them out.
