Quizlet: Create Helpful Quiz Sets for Free<\/h2>\n

A 15-year-old student created Quizlet<\/a> for his own study purposes and eventually grew it into an online study tool that millions of students use every day. You can play games, create flashcards, and create unique quiz sets to help you maximize your information intake and absorption. Teachers even use Quizlet to augment their lectures in the classroom. College students can find plenty of value in Quizlet, but it also benefits children in elementary, middle school, and high school. If you prefer to study socially, use Quizlet with your friends and classmates to make it more interesting.<\/p>\n

iStudiez Lite: Get Organized for Success<\/h2>\n

If you have trouble building strong study routines, let iStudiez Lite<\/a> help you get organized and develop healthy habits. It’s an organization app for college students that works on iOS (try Studious<\/a> as an alternative for Android users). The pro version costs $2.99 but the free app offers plenty of value, enabling you to schedule tests, assignments, meetings, and other important obligations. You can also use iStudiez Lite to remind you to attend to a scheduled task by setting an alarm. Whether you stay out too late partying, or you forgot about a project due tomorrow, alarms can save you from last-minute scrambling. The more you use the app, the better your study habits will become.<\/p>\n

Evernote: Keep Your Notes & Clippings in One Place<\/h2>\n

When you save your lecture notes as a different file after every class or accidentally drop a binder full of loose-leaf handwritten notes, your study prospects take a nosedive. Evernote<\/a> allows you to organize your notes and clippings in one place. Search for specific notations, capture notes from the Web, and share your notes with study partners. The basic version is free while upgrades add more functionality, such as email compatibility, password protection, and version support.<\/p>\n

ExamTime: Expand Your Study Aids<\/h2>\n

From flashcards and mind maps to quizzes and progress tracking, ExamTime<\/a> offers all the study tools you need in one convenient app. Use the study planner to organize your progress toward an upcoming quiz or test, then brainstorm for an essay with the mind-mapping tool. You can also use ExamTime in groups, whether you’re working on a project with other classmates or organizing a study session for finals. Share and compare study study tools so everyone has the best opportunity to succeed in class. You can even take quizzes at the same time to add a competitive edge to your studying workflow.<\/p>\n
