Have you ever wondered how to study for your test? Well, there are many ways to study. You can use apps like Gimkit, Quizlet, and Kahoot, or you can physically get a piece of paper and write down flashcards or notes. Sometimes it can bе overwhelming to pick a method for studying, so I will show you which methods are most helpful. Studies have shown that studying with learning apps is beneficial. Researchers at FIU’s Center for Children and Families have led and reviewed thirty-five studies from all over the world. They found a learning benefit from using apps. According to Florida International University News, “These findings are important because they suggest that interactive apps may be a useful and accessible tool to support early academic development.” Apps are an amazing studying tool to use, and they are even better than writing things down yourself. The study habit of writing things down takes a lot longer, it can be less organized, and studying on apps is a lot more fun. They give you more variety, and get people more motivated than just writing things down and staring at a piece of paper.

Overall, studying with apps is a better technique than writing on paper, and this is clear when you look at the wide variety of apps available to help students learn. There is Kahoot, Gimkit, Quizlet, Khan Academy, Duolingo, and so much more. Ellie Wilson ’29 said, “Quizlet is my favorite because they have different options for you to study the material you are learning like games and flashcards.” Quizlet is a very popular and effective app. Quizlet gives you a variety of games, flashcards, and other choices to study. Multiple sources have told me that Quizlet is their favorite app. Cora Pentecost ’29 mentioned, “Quizlet helps me stay focused throughout my entire studying without getting lost in the game.” While Quizlet does have games, Cora mentioned that other apps like Gimkit are just games, and sometimes a person can get lost in the game and get totally off track. Quizlet is also easy to access. Anyone can log onto Quizlet and create their own sets or use someone else’s. Ultimately, Quizlet is a fast, fun, and easy app to use. During a busy sport or social week, tests can be stressful to think about, and studying can be cast aside or dreaded. When you finally decide to sit down and study, you need an easy and fast way to review the material. Using apps like Quizlet can make studying easier and can lead to better test results. You can’t control many things in life, but you can control how you prepare for a test and how you study for it.
