With your everyday life becoming more and more hectic, it’s important that you have options to help you study on the go or in your free time. Smartphones give you the ability to do just that.

This app is designed to help you become a more organized student. It’s interface allows you to manage the subjects you need to study, as well as set alarms and reminders for upcoming exams and due dates. It’s free and perfect for the disorganized student.
Chegg Flashcards
There’s no better way to remember information than flashcards, which enable you to study at a break-neck pace. Rather than make your own, Chegg Flashcards is an app that has various flashcards covering math, history, chemistry, and many other categories. It’s perfect for cramming information into a bus ride or between classes.
BenchPrep
If you deem yourself to be a poor test taker, BenchPrep is your savior. It is geared towards those interested in taking a graduate exam such as the LSAT,GRE, or GMAT. By utilizing one of its 600 study apps, you can get yourself into an e-master’s degree program in an emerging field such as health informatics or information technology.
Babylon
Babylon is an absolute necessity for anyone looking to take any foreign language classes. The app features 1,500 glossaries in 75 languages, as well as a translator for you to learn on the go. If you’re a traveler, this app is invaluable as well, as it allows you to communicate with others in many countries throughout the world.
SelfControl
Perhaps one of the most innovative study apps to date, SelfControl is just that; an app that “blacklists” certain websites for a period of time. If you’re in need of cramming or writing a paper, just input your most frequented sites into the app and set a timer. For the duration of that time, you won’t be able to visit them, thus freeing you from distractions.
Blackboard
Many universities have begun using Blackboard, which helps students organize information about their classes. You can access just about any information pertinent to your coursework, including upcoming assignments, exam grades, transcripts, and timetables.
Dropbox
Learning to use Dropbox as a student will help you not only in the present, but in the future, as many companies use it to store or send files. You can reach your account anywhere, be it on your phone or computer, and have any useful information or files at your fingertips. You can also use it to send files to classmates without using email, which tends to be much slower.
These are not the only apps out there that can help you become a model student, but they are definitely helpful. Nevertheless, it’s important to remember that an app can’t save you all the time; it’s ultimately up to you to put in the work
