Finals are approaching quickly! These are the apps you need to maximize your studying.

Spotify

Spotify is the perfect app for all things music–especially when there is a student discount ($4.99 per month!) Whether you need some peaceful music to study or something upbeat for your walk to class at 8 a.m., Spotify definitely has something for you. Plus, there’s tons of podcasts to choose from to take a study break with!

Be Focused (or any Pomodoro timer)

The Pomodoro Technique is a productivity method. It consists of a timer that breaks your work time down into intervals (usually 25 minutes) of focused time separated by shorter breaks. It makes those 3-hour study sessions seem so much more manageable!

Attain for Students

Attain is a productivity app where you can put in your class schedule and homework assignments. It lets you track your attendance, schedule your study sessions, and keep track of your completed homework and upcoming quizzes. My favorite feature is its mood tracking which lets you log how you feel after each class and keep track of your mental health during the school year.

Quizlet

Quizlet is an online flashcard site that is great for memorizing vocab wherever you are. They have a bunch of different activities that can help you mix up your study room. Plus, you can see other students’ sets if you’re in a time crunch.
