Nobody enjoys revision, it is quite possibly the last thing in the world most students want to do. But if you want to get a place on an amazing apprenticeship or school leaver scheme, you need to put the work in.
With exam season on the horizon, we’ve made a list of some helpful apps that will make revision more bearable for you.
Trello
Trello is a nifty little project management tool that you can use when you’re up to your eyeballs in revision.
The best way you could use this free download is to create a new board for each topic that could come up in your exams, then make a card for each possible essay question that you could come up. It’s a simple way of building up a bank of essay plans.

Forest: Stay Focused
YouTube binging is a real problem, one innocent film trailer can quickly turn into a four-hour marathon. If you want an app to help you put your phone down you’re going to want to check out Forest.
Open the app whenever you sit down to revise and you’ll plant a tree, open your phone again while you’re meant to be revising… the tree dies. Don’t kill the trees.

Headspace
Headspace is a free download that has a range of themed sessions to help you reduce stress, stay focused and put your mind at ease. If you’re suffering from pre-exam nerves, give meditation a go.
MindMeister
Mind maps are a great way to revise. They’re fun to draw too. They let you organise lots of information into a clear and easy to digest format.
MindMeister is a free download, and you can print off the maps and stick them on your wall, or save them all so you have a stockpile of revision notes.

Zombies, Run!
Exercise is key when you’re revising. Surprised? Surely going for a run means less time cramming knowledge into your brain? Apparently scientists have proven that exercise helps you to retain the knowledge you’ve been cramming.
Zombies, Run! is a great app to make sure you’re getting exercise and it even has a thrilling story to go with it. What more do you want?
