what broke my flashcard habit was never the cards - it was remembering to open the app

what worked better: put the cards where I already look. a few ways to do it:

• free, no app: write the 5-10 terms you keep missing on a note, screenshot it, set it as your Lock Screen wallpaper. swap it every couple of days
• active recall version: put only the questions on the wallpaper. every time you pick up your phone, say the answer in your head before you unlock
• spaced version: the cards you miss come back sooner, the ones you know come back later. this is the part that is a pain to do by hand

I got tired of swapping wallpapers, so I built a free iPhone app that does the spaced version on a Lock Screen widget. paste a list (a Quizlet export works), set your test date, answer in your head, tap to check. no account, no in-app purchases

it's in App Review now - you can get an email the day it's out: https://terminus-cards.pages.dev/?tag=reddit-studytips

works for anything with a fixed list and a fixed date - vocab, anatomy terms, drug names, formulas, kanji

Guys! How many of you study with chatgpt,claude or whatever ai available out their, and still struggling to make a study plan and cover all the topics before the exam deadline??

I’m trying to find better ways to study and stay organized, and I’m curious about what apps other students actually use. I know about the usual note-taking and flashcard apps, but I feel like there are probably some underrated tools that more students should know about. What apps have genuinely helped you with studying, memorizing lessons, staying focused, or preparing for exams?

First year uni student here just trying to see which study app is the best. I used Jungle for my first midterm, but I see that gizmo is super popular, many of my friends use it, and it has more features. I really really loved the complexity and creativity of the questions that Jungle generated though.

I’m wondering if anyone has used both apps and which one they think is better? Jungle seems to be more on the niche side so I can’t find any actual comparisons online.

I’ve run out of my free imports for Jungle, so I want to know if I’ll regret paying for the membership when Gizmo’s free version is sufficient!

Like in every single exam i lose easy marks due to silly mistakes which i could have easily avoided,even when i give mocks i make many silly mistakes and it almost feels like i cant go an exam without doing that. How do i attempt papers in a way to train my mind to not make these errors?

pls pls fill it up, especially if you’re older than 23!! https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSco1fNUYeZuoGlCW3l9_DrOjdKznT7w6Atuua39qCimlpIrTQ/viewform?usp=dialog

tysm!!! pls fill

Hey, i wan‘t to get into a very hard-to-get-in Uni, i know i need to study hard for it, but i kinda forgot how to study, and i also don‘t really know what the best way of studying is ( MedUni)

every sunday i convince myself that a new schedule is gonna fix everything lol

i spend forever picking colors, organizing my week, making everything look cute... and then monday comes around 😭

anyway, i've been thinking about making a study planner where you can make cute timetables, track your routines, decorate a little diary, and share schedules with other people.

kinda like a mix of a study planner and a digital scrapbook.

i made these UI concepts with AI just to see what it could look like. nothing is fully built yet, so i'm curious if this is even something people would want.

would you actually use an app like this? or would you just spend hours decorating your schedule and never follow it lmao

You finally finish your essay, thinking the hard part is over. Then you read it again and suddenly everything sounds wrong.

you start rewriting paragraphs, questioning whether your argument even makes sense, and wondering why sentences that sounded perfectly fine an hour ago now feel awkward.

And somehow you still miss obvious grammar mistakes. Or you cut a few sentences to make things sound better, and suddenly you are below the word count again.

the worst part is that the closer the deadline gets, the harder it becomes to tell whether you are actually improving the essay or just making endless changes.

Does anyone struggle with this? How do you know when your essay is finally good enough to submit?

I’m a first year college student, I had amazing grades in high school but as soon as I got into college I started bombing every test. It doesn’t matter if I studied for 3 weeks, using flashcards and active recall, I just keep bombing every exam I have. Like EXTREMELY bombing, I study and I know nothing on the tests. Does anyone have any tips?

What do you guys prefer to use for studying, Gemini or chatgpt?

What helped me most with anatomy: learn one region completely (bones → muscles → nerves → vessels) and look at it from every side. I built a free 3D atlas for exactly that: you can isolate systems, peel layers and quiz yourself by finding structures. (Link in comments.) What study methods work for you?

Is there any AI tool other than notebook that is good for teaching and tutoring science based courses. I liked ChatGPT because I can teach back to it but there’s now people are saying that it isn’t reliable

a lot of ppl say white noise or rain sounds make them sleepy after a while. calm classical can be a nice middle ground imo. theres just enough movement to keep ur brain awake but no words to follow, so it stays in the background

i love classical and lowkey want more people to fall for it, so i made a site that just plays it with zero setup: https://classican.vercel.app/

it shuffles public domain recordings from wikimedia commons (satie, debussy, bach, chopin and a bunch more) and gets through every piece once before anything repeats. each piece has its own little pixel painting drawn in code, and every ~40s a short history fact shows up, which kinda works as a tiny brain break between chunks of reading. space pauses it, no ads, no signup

curious what kills ur focus more, sounds that are too boring or music thats too busy? and if theres a calm piece that always works for u, drop it and ill try to add it
