Studying for an important test may be difficult for those with Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Fortunately, modern technology has evolved to make things easy for people. That includes developing apps that are made to help college students with ADHD!

If you’re struggling to pay attention in class or focus on preparing for an exam, try these apps for size!

Rescue Time
If you are worried about how much time you are spending on your daily activities, this app is for you!

Rescue Time tracks the time you spend on your activities and collates it into a comprehensive report. It also allows self-evaluation by giving you an option to rate your activities from “Very Distracting” to “Very Productive”. This app is perfect for avoiding procrastination!

Downloading this app is completely free, but additional features cost at least $9.00.

Epic Win
Get into the world of fantasy with this app!

Epic Win immerses you into a fun adventure game to encourage you to accomplish your goals. You get to create your own avatar and win points by finishing your goals of the day. This app certainly makes a mundane day of chores to be the most fun adventure ever!

And it only costs $1.99 in the online market!

30/30
This app is for those who are looking for an easy-to-use interface that reminds them to finish what they started!

This app gives you important reminders in 30-minute intervals. This way, you can track the progress of your to-do lists two times in one hour. What’s great about 30/30 is that it only uses a small amount of space and useful in the long run. It is also completely free!

EverNote
This app is a convenient digital notebook for students who have a difficulty to focus!

EverNote’s primary function is to college and jot down notes, but it also has other functions that are extremely helpful! It has a friendly user interface that lets you organize your notes by categorizing text, audio, and photos. Moreover, this app lets you create a to-do list and set reminders.

EverNote is free and offers additional functions that you have to purchase.

Dropbox 
This app is the ultimate organizer!

Dropbox allows you to store any kind of file, like lecture notes or study guides, in its 2GB storage space. This prevents your important documents from being misplaced, which often happens by accident to students with ADHD.

In addition, it has a feature that allows access to your parents or guardians. This lets them help you manage your files and keep track of your progress. With these great features, you will be surprised that this app is free. But, obtaining more storage space may incur you some costs.

Studying is made easier with the help of these apps! We hope that their special features can help you prepare for the intensive demands of college life.

We wish you good luck on your exams!
