Life Gets Better When You Stop Looking For Approval From Others

“The will to win, the desire to succeed, the urge to reach your full potential… these are the keys that will unlock the door to personal excellence.”

 — Confucius

Here are a list of 10, free apps that can help you organize, study, and strive for higher grades

1.) Focus Now This app has really helped me focus and stay on task. It helps eliminate your bad habits and encourages you to develop desirable habits instead. By using a timer, this app forces you to put down your phone in the allotted time you’ve requested while you plant a plant/tree in your farm. If you go on your phone, you kill the plant. This habit building game sounds slightly cheesy, but it really does help and I definitely recommend this app. I also know Focus Timer is a good habit developer app as well that tracks your progress and the hours you have spent studying.

2.) Maths Alarm Clock If you are not a morning person like me and you have a fairly difficult time to get up, this app is perfect. With its super annoying alarm, it demands you to do a math problem in order for the alarm to stop. This way, your brain wakes up and plus you get extra practice at math! You will hate this app in the morning, but it gets the job done and that’s what matters.

3.) Calculator # I always forget my calculator in my locker and this app has saved my math grade. It provides users a no cost, scientific calculator. You honestly cant go wrong with this.

4.) Flashcards+ Being unorganized ( in the process of fixing this ), I tend to lose my flashcards. When upcoming, cumulative tests come up, this bites me in the butt. This app allows people to create flashcard decks and allows you to customize them by inserting pictures which can really help visual learners. Plus, typing out flashcards take little amount of time in comparison to hand writing them. However, if you find that you learn more effectively by writing down things, then stick with that! Just make sure you don’t lose the notecards.

5.) Quizlet This app is slightly similar to Flashcards +1, but it introduces more features.Unlike Flashcards+, you can play games on the topic you are studying, making it more fun to learn. You can also share and find notecards with your peers.

6.) Khan Academy The founder of Khan Academy literally deserves 3841481 medals. With thousands of videos dedicated towards chemistry, math, biology, physics, etc, Khan Academy has helped me understand so many concepts that I could not grasp. He explains the concepts in great detail while making it easy to understand and follow and I can’t even put to words on how much I love Khan Academy.

7.) Photo Math If you’re stumped on a math problem in your textbook, take a picture of the math problem you are stuck on and Photo Math will grant you a step by step guidance on how to get the answer. DON’T JUST COPY DOWN THE STEPS, ACTUALLY KNOW WHY AND HOW THEY GOT TO THE ANSWER. If you just copy it down, then you did not learn anything and you’ll get the problem wrong again when it appears on a test and that is not very ideal.

8.) Gojimo Gojimp provides thousands of practice AP tests, SAT Test Preps, ACT Test Preps, and tons of other tests for students! AND ITS FREE!! The app supplies free quizzes that give detailed, thorough explanations too.

9.) Vocabulary Builder from Magoosh If you’re interested in expanding your vocabulary, you will love this app. Vocabulary Builder is great for preparing for the SATS!

10.) Todoist If you’re in desperate need for a planner, then Todoist is gonna be a lifesaver for you. Todoist encourages users to manage their tasks with their simple working app. It’s perfect for organization and increasing productivity. c:

Hi! What do you think of your Macbook? Is it useful for studying? Is it a bit laggy? Love your account! xx

hello hello! thanks love :)

I loooove my Mac! it’s the most recent one (12’) and it’s super lightweight and very useful for studying. I don’t believe it’s laggy, but then again I’m not a tech-oriented person in terms of software, coding, etc. I used to have the 13’ air and this is so so much lighter and more forgiving on my body when I carry it around in my backpack to school! personally I also adore the colors it comes in. I hope that helps you :)
