How do i convince my friend to actually study and stop bothering me about exams?

So my friend and I are in our final year of studies in University. I've decided to become much more social (going out more) and studying much harder than I did before. We are currently in our final semester and he keeps bothering me about assignments that he doesn't pay attention too. I would choose to ignore him but he and I are in group together for a year round coursework. Just last semester I had to help him (he keeps asking for answers) with 3 or so assignment which I felt was pretty straightforward yet my friend doesn't pay attention to classes. I even asked him if he does and he keeps saying it's boring which I agree but still need to keep paying to class (pretty sure he will ask me for help in revising for our class test). I personally been making notes in lectures and been trying to get more self studying done to achieve the grade I really want to at the end.

 

I would understand if he didn't understand the topic but he straight up admitted that he can't be asked to learn.

 

 

Anyone got any advice on this? Like how do i convince him to actually study without always trying to ask me for the answers.

To be honest, I'm in a similar situation where my friend always complains about not having time to study or this and that. But she goes to a club that isn't academic and she chooses to be in it and puts more effort into it than her actual studies. When she should be studying she's just online fooling around and it bothers me that she complains about assignments and deadlines. If I try to say something she'll get upset but I think the next time it happens I'll be straightforward and tell her to take her classes more seriously. I mean, you're paying so much to be in college you should use your time wisely and not waste it.

You should tell your friend to just push through the last semester, find a tutor, or talk to the professor on what to do. I'm sorry you have to go through that, it seems stressful. ahhh

I'm also in a similar situation so I don't really know how to help. You could probably refrain from always giving him answers and notes so he starts to do them himself but that would be difficult to do. 

Also, he is getting the degree for himself not you so maybe tell him to think about the future and his goals.

Just tell him that every time he's asking for help, you feel like you're loosing free time to relax or to study for another course, but not with a bad tone, just casual, but straightforward. Because clearly, he doesn't seems to understand that he's becoming a parasite and he'll probably never know if nobody tell him. If he doesn't have enough empathy to see that he's bothering you than he's not a very good friend.
