Is App-Based Revision the Future?

The App Generation

Revising for exams has never been a popular activity but for a generation who have grown up on apps, the idea of revising from a text book has even less appeal. So what’s the solution?

The simple answer is to use a revision app, like those on Pastest. These mobile revision apps can be downloaded so that they are available to answer questions both online and offline. 

Are you a Secret Reviser?

Mobile revision apps can be used at the bus-stop, in the park, or even in the pub!  So, if you don’t want your mates to know you are revising you no longer have to stay in your bedroom in isolation, you can go out and revise without them knowing thanks to a revision app.  

Flexible Revision

When exams are looming it is often popular to devise a revision schedule, but, in reality, what’s the likelihood of you going to sit in your bedroom to study at the scheduled time? Even if you do, you’re likely to find yourself staring at the walls and not actually doing much that’s constructive. If you prefer to revise in more relaxed environment, why not use a mobile revision app instead?  This means that you can revise in your favourite place without the hassle of having to carry bulky text books around with you.  

The other main benefit of the mobile app is that even if you only have a few minutes to spare, you can still do some revision thanks to the app.  Revising throughout the day is far easier than having one long revision session and also means that you have a greater chance of retaining information. 

It is all too easy to get anxious before exams and then to panic rather than revising.  This means the valuable time is wasted. However, the app enables you to take a more relaxed approach to revising, and this will enable you to achieve your full potential.

Whether you are on the bus to work, on your lunch hour or even sent on an errand by your box, having the mobile app on your phone means that you can revise wherever or whenever you want. 

The apps also include three exam focussed podcasts to give you hints and tips on how to improve your exam technique

Why make revision hard work?  Let mobile revision apps take the hard work out of exams.  Don’t forget to revise, of course, but do it when and where it suits you.  If you feel relaxed and at ease when you are revising it is far more likely that you will be able to retain information and be successful.
