APP REVIEW uni life Brainscape Cost: Free Platform: iOS and Android Brainscape could be your new best study buddy, with a Smart Study system that tests you using built in flash cards, or ones you make yourself! The app is already equipped with a wide range of subjects to study, ranging from languages and science to sports trivia and music theory. This app is ideal for students because you can create your own flashcards and have the app at the ready for quick quizzes while travelling on a train or bus, while you eat your morning cereal or a last minute review before the big exam. The way to get the most out of this app would be to slowly build on your flash card collec tion throughout the semester and then you have a fun and interactive source of revision to keep you on track when exam block comes around. The app also asks you to rate how well you did on each question from 1 (lowest) to 5 (highest) and re-quizzes you depending on how well you went, so you are always revising the content you find the most difficult. Overall, I found this app very useful and would recommend this to anyone looking for a portable, interactive study companion.
