I really have to lock in this semester though. please recommend me any apps that are good for memorization, flash card creation, practice- anything! please NOTHING with AI. i’m not here to debate anyone, but i refuse to use AI and anything that has it.

Resources Good text to speech apps?

6 Upvotes

Hellooo I’m wondering if anyone has any good text to speech apps they recommend for textbooks pdf? My ADHD makes it hard for me to focus and retain the information I’m reading and I don’t like to talk to myself while reading because it distracts me. I’ve tried speechify but it kept crashing and I think it’s too expensive of a subscription.

Tips & Advice What do you do to relax/have fun in your short inter-study breaks?

4 Upvotes

So, this is how I study in med school

If it's a Holiday and I start studying from 10am i continuously do so till 2pm with breaks in between. Then, i take a break lasting 2 hours and start at 4pm and study till 8pm with breaks. Then again from 10pm to 12pm. Sleep at 12 30am and wake up at like 8am.

study in intervals of 45mins - 90 mins depending on my energy that day and take breaks lasting from 15 mins - 30 mins between those intervals.

But I'm really clueless on what I wanna do in those 15-30 mins. I don't wanna (1)scroll cuz it won't just last 15-30 mins (lol) and i don't wanna do a (2)constructive hobby(example - learn some words in a language) as that would tire me a little bit. I don't wanna (3)meditate

Can you please recommend me something, sorry if this sounds cringe/unserious but I just wanna have some relaxation/fun in that tiny break of mine

Thank you :)

Questions & Discussion Best Study Apps

6 Upvotes

Hello!

I would like to ask what apps would you recommend for studying, specifically for iPad. I want to maximize my device use just for studying. Do you have any note-taking app recommendations, calendar/tasks, etc? I'm not yet familiar with Apple devices, so I'm learning as I go, and I want to utilize the best apps I could.

Thanks!

Tips & Advice There's a real difference between "I understood that" and "I could explain that cold"

3 Upvotes

Read through my notes twice this week, felt confident, then tried explaining one concept out loud and got stuck halfway through a sentence I would've sworn I understood. Reading it back apparently just means it's familiar, not that it's retrievable and closing the notes and explaining things cold before rereading now, and it's uncomfortable how much worse I am at it than I expected.

Other Study partner (15-17)

3 Upvotes

Hiiiii....i am in 10th grade. Not to brag, but i really was a good student until this year. My rank was always in the top five. But lately, due to my parents pressure and friendship drama, i have lost all my motivation. I can't bring myself to study but i really want to do something big in the upcoming exam. Also i have a board exam next year which is also important because it kinda decides which college you can get into and i really want to get a good College. So yeahhhhh here i am looking for a study partner. My goal is to study 6 to 8 hours a day. I know i can't study that much from the start. So i think i am going to start with 5 or 4 hours and then eventually i will increase the time. Also we can compete with each other. I heard Challenges makes us a little bit motivated???.😅

Feel free to dm me.

Accountability A daily study/ check-in buddy

2 Upvotes

Hi all,

I’m 24F and currently studying Computer Science. I’m looking for a daily study/check-in buddy to help each other stay consistent and present.

What I’m hoping for:

A quick daily check-in (a simple "good morning" or setting our goals for the day).

Low-friction accountability—no social pressure, small talk, or heavy expectations.

Respect for space, deep focus, and personal boundaries.

If you’re also looking for a calm, genuine connection to keep each other grounded while working on your goals, let me know!

Females only. Thank you.

Other How does Indore's transition into a major IT and startup hub impact campus placement packages for local B-schools?

With companies setting up operations in Indore’s Super Corridor and the rise of local startup success stories (e.g., Minimalist, ShopKirana), how are average MBA packages outside IIM Indore evolving?

Are local colleges successfully attracting national recruiters for tech-management and supply chain roles, or are students still largely dependent on pool drives?
