Study Apps To Avoid The Post Spring Break Slide

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Holy Cross chapter.

For organization…

1. Studies:There’s nothing worse than having no idea what your grade is as you’re waiting for transcripts to come out on STAR. Studies, hailed as “The world’s best grade tracker,” helps you configure your exact grades throughout the semester so you’re never left guessing. For each class, enter how much each assignment is weighted, and Studies will calculate and update your grade as you enter the grades you receive throughout the semester. You can even set a “target grade” for each class, so you immediately know if you’re on track to reaching your goal.

2. The Homework App:After entering your assignments for the semester into The Homework App, it creates a list of all upcoming assignments and keeps track of those that are overdue. It’s like an agenda, but makes it easier to track due dates.

For studying…

1. StudyBlue:Download StudyBlue to create study guides and flashcards for exams. When you join for free, you can even access other students’ study materials in addition to creating your own. Digital study guides are also perfect for studying on the go!

2. Bench Prep:Already looking towards graduate school? Bench Prep offers free study materials for the GRE, GMAT, LSAT, and MCAT. Diagnostic tests, practice tests, flashcards, and personalized study plans are among the features Bench Prep offers (and it’s free!)

For waking up to study…

1. Alarmy (Sleep if U Can):Alarmy, known as “The world’s most annoying alarm app,” will ensure that you’ll never sleep through your alarm again. In order to shut off the alarm, you need to snap a picture in a pre-set room (which actually forces you to get out of bed) or shake the alarm a certain amount of times. With this app, you’ll never be late for your 8am again.
