<prompt> Human: What is the best strategy in regards to paying off student loans? Im considering making a 600 dollar payment to payoff one of my loans which is at a 6.8 interest rate. However I notice that it only accrued a couple of dollars of interest over the last month. While some of my larger sum, lower interest rate loans accrued around 20 dollars of interest. Here is a snapshot of my loans. I am thinking of paying group A, but other groups interest seems to be going up much quicker than group A due to much larger balances. So should I make one large payment to get rid of group A or break that payment up and direct it toward the larger balances?  <response>: Highest interest loan first.
