Check out our top recommended apps for revision below, you can find out more about these  plus more at the Revision Hub!

Gojimo

This is an app that uses multiple choice questions to test your broad subject knowledge and highlight areas you need to revise. The quizzes are specific to your course and exam board, and even includes the new exam specification introduced last year. This is a good starting point for revision if you feel overwhelmed and don’t know where to focus your revision.

(Please note this app is now paid: £4.99 - Apple Only. Android is free)

Goconqr quizzes

This allows you to make your own quizzes using a variety of different question styles such as true/false, multiple choice, long answer etc. you can also add in an explanation to pop up if you incorrectly answer so that you can see where you went wrong. The app allows you to use pre-made quizzes by other users which is useful if you have a few minutes to spare and want to refresh your memory of a topic.

Inspiration

This is a mind-mapping app which is useful for students who may struggle to organise their thoughts or structure essays. I have used this in the past to plan an essay on the bus home from college so that I can get straight into writing the essay and not waste any time.

Quizlet

This app allows you to create flashcards and organise them into ‘sets’. It may be useful to create a set for each sub-topic for each lesson for things such as key word definitions or key concepts. You can then just look over them when you have a few minutes to spare and test yourself, the app allows you to save your test marks so that you know which words you are frequently getting incorrect and that you need to focus on learning.

Focusnow

This is a timer app which allows you to select the amount of time that you want to study for, the timer then begins. If you exit the app before the timer finishes then you ‘kill your  plant’ and have to start over. This app is useful if you struggle to focus and stay away from the distractions of social media.

Get Revising

Get Revising is a great website set up for students and has forums, revision aids, advice articles etc. all tailored to your level of study. They have recently released an app which allows you to create a revision timetable, you simply insert the times you are free to study between, any lessons you have, the dates of your exams/deadlines, the total number of hours you want to revise for each exam, any holidays or commitments etc. and it will produce a tailor made timetable using hour long revision slots so that you can manage your time without feeling overwhelmed or cramming. I have found this app really useful in balancing social life and revision.
