Looming final exams are enough to put a twinge of fear in the stomach of any college student. Even if you typically hit the books hard, finals week takes you out of your routine. Instead of going to class, socializing with friends and otherwise adhering to a familiar schedule, you study for an exam, take it and then repeat the process for all your subjects.

Fortunately, numerous apps could preserve your sanity, remind you of fundamental concepts and help you stay organized for all your finals. Let’s look at some of them.

1. Quizlet

When you search for worthy study-helping apps, it’s ideal to find some that help with information recall and are fun. Quizlet checks both of those boxes by letting you interact with ready-made quizzes or make your own.

Choose from a question-and-answer quiz or a matching game. Then, decide other specifics, like the quiz length and whether the application gives instant feedback.

Outside of finals week, Quizlet is an engaging and straightforward way to learn about other topics of interest since it has millions of study sets to peruse.

2. Be Focused

Keeping your mind on studying isn’t always easy. Whether your attention wanes because your roommate keeps disturbing you or there’s a group of people playing loud music on the quad outside your window, outside factors can break your concentration.

On top of that, it’s tough to stay focused hour after hour, especially when you think of things like how you could be watching your favorite TV show in the dorm room lounge or going out for ice cream with your besties.

The Be Focused app coaches you to remain devoted to one task for a defined interval then space out your study sessions with short or long intervals. At the end of a study session, you’ll either feel a vibration or hear a sound, depending on the chosen settings.

Consider setting a timer for each subject with an upcoming final exam. Then, you can rest assured that you’re being strategic about keeping things as balanced as possible.

3. Simple To-Do List

One of the most challenging things about finals week is that it often seems like you have so many tasks to get done that you’re not sure where to start. To-do list Chrome extensions could maximize your productivity by helping you avoid the overwhelmed feeling that often accompanies a seemingly ever-growing mountain of tasks.

One of them is Simple To-Do List. It has drag-and-drop functionality, letting you create reminders of things to accomplish and assign them to lists in seconds.

There’s also a color-coding system you could use to designate the urgency level of responsibilities. For example, stuff related to an exam happening soonest might have the color red associated with it.

4. WriteRoom

Acing your tests is probably the primary goal of finals week, but you’ve got to remember to have fun while you study hard. Apps that help you stay on track without getting frustrated are invaluable because they'll help you get more done and have time for entertaining diversions.

Sometimes, the tools you use while studying have built-in distractions, such as unnecessary buttons and menus. For any writing-related finals studying, no matter if you’re getting the outline together for a paper or drafting a mock response to an anticipated essay question, try WriteRoom.

It offers the basics — like word count and average reading time statistics — but doesn’t include the formatting buttons that aren’t applicable to your study time. You can also choose one of several templates for easy readability during long hours of writing.

($9.99 for iOS gadgets and Mac computers)

5. Microsoft OneNote

When a professor says, “This won’t be on the final,” students tend to hastily use highlighters and asterisks to remind themselves that, thankfully, they won’t have to review everything before an exam.

Microsoft OneNote is a digital notebook that could help you store all the material you need to look over before finals in one place. OneNote works on any device or platform, even without internet access.

Think about using it before heading to study sessions for finals you expect will be particularly challenging. Besides allowing you to type notes, OneNote facilitates drawing things with your finger or a stylus and even importing audio files before transcribing them.

If you’re studying with friends, OneNote is especially useful. Everything gets stored in the cloud, and you can collaborate on documents or share them without hassles.

6. iformula pro

Forgetting a formula can hurt even the most accomplished math whizzes. By refreshing your memory with the iformula pro app, you can get prepped for any math finals on your agenda. This app is a formula library, so it’s ideal regardless of the level of mathematics you take in college.

Have a stress-free finals week.
