Hey,

Since you have exams coming up, the group study idea might work better than a coffee date. There is a possibility that she might be stressed about exams and might not want to go on a date right now and this might make things more awkward for the two of you. A group study might be the best, so the two of you can hang out and even get to know each other. If she is good in the class you are not, you could ask her if she'd be willing to help you out. I'd suggest pushing of the idea of a date until after exams so when you both do hang out you won't have to worry about the upcoming exams.

Just my bit. Hope it helps.
