This pupil was especially articulate:

I think that if your studying, there is two apps I would recommend. the first one is that you can make your own kahoot and you can test yourself on questions. this can also work with other people. I also find quizlet quite useful because i use it in my French lesson and theres different activities you can do for each subject. the good thing about this is that you don't have to do it on one subject. you can do multiple subjects to test yourself on and even test other people on. my favourite thing about this is that anyone can use it on their own laptop, you just simply login to quizlet and then search up the username and then you can take quizzes that the other person made.
