Being a former high school student myself, I
had little to no guidance aside from whatever I gathered from within the four
walls of my classroom. And between the two of us, there wasn’t much that got
across my head in the class either. I found myself being torn apart between
wanting to study and not understanding the core concepts of my subjects. That
is when I embarked on the journey of any external guidance and assistance I
could possibly seek. As a result, I came across a number of websites and apps,
all of which were a great help to me. For this reason, I understand your
struggle of being lost in your academic life quite well. Therefore, I have
listed below all the platforms and sources you can use to ease out difficulties
for yourself.
On that note, let’s get right into it!
I am of the opinion
that it is impossible to be a high school or college student in this modern era
and be unaware of Khan Academy. One simply cannot find a better source of
guidance than this nonprofit organization. You can find lectures about almost
any topic in any subject on the Academy’s website. And if that wasn’t already
enough, Khan Academy allows you to create your own study schedule and content (from
the free courses being offered) and also offers appropriate tools to test your
own understanding of the respective course.
I personally used to
watch Khan Academy’s lectures for mathematics and namely, trigonometry.
Needless to say, I could not ask for a better sense of direction. I owe at
least 50% of my mathematics grade to Khan Academy.
If your exams are
hastily approaching and you have little time to get your life and studies
together, Z notes are for you! It is a renowned platform over which you can
find precise notes regarding your major subjects. The website also has notes
available in accordance with different codes of courses offered by a particular
education board e.g. Cambridge and Edexcel, etc. Not only this, but this
lifesaving website also offers other appealing study perks that you can highly
benefit from.
Z notes took away my
worry about having to prepare final revision notes for AS Psychology. Instead,
I got them already prepared and all I had to do was keep my procrastination in
check!
The Organic Chemistry
Tutor is an educational YouTube channel run by Julio Gonzales. The
informational channel has lectures available about several subjects ranging
from complex mathematics, chemistry, biology, and even taxes. The channel’s
educational videos also have a number of practice problems that will help you
gain confidence in what you just learned.
If you are done with
your preparation and wish to test yourself before the big exam, Quizizz has got
you’re back. Hands down, it is not only the most engaging and incomparable
practice website, but it also has an incredibly catchy and user-friendly
interface. It is sure to keep you hooked with its challenging questions for a
long time. You can choose the practice test that you want to take, as well as
the time it, and take advantage of the hints provided to you. What more could
one ask for?
Plus, the instant
feedback provided will enhance your learning adventure as well.
Unlike the prior
mentioned platforms, Photomath is a phone app that you can take help from for
mathematics. All you have to do is the question you are unable to solve and a
functional phone camera. Take a picture of the unsolved problem from the app
and voila, your question is solved! It will provide you with all the steps
required to attempt a question along with the final answer.
However, I wouldn’t
advise you to completely rely on the app for your homework. That way, you will
end up developing a dependency on your mathematics skills and gain nothing in
the long run. Instead, try and use it strictly only for the purpose of learning
your errors or the correct method to solve questions from a certain
topic.
