Apps to help you study

By: Hermekay Dehaney

There are multiple apps students can use to assist them when doing homework, and studying for a test. These apps are convenient and accessible to use for a quick study session. In this article, I will tell you some recommended study apps to use that will hopefully help you to study.

  1. Quizlet: Quizlet is a very versatile app that has a wide range of study tools. It offers different study modes, such as flash cards. Quizlet’s flashcard feature allows you to create custom flashcard sets or choose from millions of already pre-made decks that cover every subject.

In my opinion, I find customizing my flashcards very helpful, since it allows you to pick the term and definition, and create them yourself. This tool is a good way to study because it’s a good way to interpret your understanding of what you’re learning. It’s also a good way for friends to study together, which is very helpful if you want to do a quick 5-minute refresh on a topic you’re studying.

Quizlet also offers quizzes that allow you to test your knowledge in different ways using different quiz formats which include multiple-choice, true/false, and matching. After answering and submitting it gives immediate results which allows you to see what you need to improve on.

  1. Quizizz: Quizizz offers a whole variety of different pre-made interactive quizzes for different subjects. They design the app to be engaging by including animated GIFS and memes to gain students’ attention.

One feature I love about the app is that the quizzes are self-paced. You can start and finish your quiz at any time, which is very convenient, and provides flexibility to study at any time, anywhere.

Similar to Quizlet, Quizizz offers instant feedback which lets you know what you get wrong and right which allows you to know what you need to improve on.

  1. Duolingo: Duolingo is a good app if you want to improve and study languages. You can choose from different languages such as French, Spanish, Chinese and many more.

Each lesson includes listening , speaking, and writing which makes studying more productive. I also love how quick and flexible it is.  For example, if you’re in an area where you can’t listen to the audio or speak, there’s an option that allows you to  choose to skip the question.

Another feature I love is how it adapts the lessons based on what you need to improve on; it targets areas of weakness and provides additional practice where needed.  

When studying, the right apps can help you improve whatever subject you want to improve on. These 3 apps recommended makes studying easier with their adaptable features, and quick lessons.
