I discovered if I unofficially turned it into a loosely directed review session taught by me, they suddenly became very helpful. 'teaching' my peers the material forces me to think about everything much more critically, and justify and explain everything. The process of doing these things myself crystallizes my understanding, assembling together everything I've learned.
(I believe this phenomenon is very similar to the way you can be stuck trying to find a bug for hours, and then instantly realize the solution as soon as you try to explain the problem to a peer)
