Studying for your classes no longer has to be stressful by Taylor Cooper

Students are constantly staying up all night studying for quizzes and tests. According to Psychology Today, “Teens who are short on sleep are more likely to feel depressed and anxious.” These are some studying apps that will present an opportunity to learn more about a topic. They will make learning so much easier and less stressful for students. Students will no longer need to stay up late to study.

Quizlet Quizlet has many different types of studying methods. You can make flashcards and study like that but they also provide other options such as a matching one. They even give mini tests that you can take with the material you have learned. It is a great way to review when you are not home or just like to mix things up. Madison Rocca, junior, said “Quizlet helps me study by using the flashcard option to go over certain subjects” Senior student Reagan Smith says, “I like Quizlet because it helps me study for quizzes and tests.”

Evernote Evernote is an app that you can use as a digital file cabinet, as a note taking tool, and even as a task/project management tool. The app has a notebook feature that you can use to take your notes, you can even divide it up by subject. It also has a checklist, you can create a checklist of things you need to go over and cross them off as you go. These few features will keep you organized while studying.

Photomath Photomath is a great app to use when trying to solve math equations that you do not understand. You snap a picture of it, and it will explain each step of the problem and why you do it that way. It also has a calculator installed in the app in case you do not have one around. Photomath can also graph equations that show where the intercepts are and tell you what kind of graph it is: linear, quadratic or exponential. Junior student, Robert Jackson, says “It helps me understand the concept step by step.”

Students no longer need to stress as much when it comes to studying for their classes. There are many apps to help the workload that they are given. Each app has their own set up that works differently for every subject. Photomath, Evernote and Quizlet are just a few that are super beneficial, but there are many more if these few do not work for you.
