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 several 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 your difficulties for yourself.
On that note, let’s get right into it!
I think 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. 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 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 following 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 where you can get help with 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 to learn your errors or the correct method to solve questions from a certain topic.
AllMath is an online website that provides
hundreds of calculators for students. This website offers 350+ calculators for
mathematics, physics, chemistry, & statistics. Students can use this site
for the preparation for exams and the completion of assignments.
The students can get step-by-step solutions to the various
