Power Learners App

It looks like a student planner, but there’s more to it than meets the eye. The Power Learners App guides you in creating a step-by-step learning plan for each assignment in about a minute. These plans help you overcome procrastination, get started, stay focused, and master the lesson. With this app, you can learn faster and remember longer. If you want to ace your tests and get better grades, this is the perfect app for you.
As with any student planner, you start by writing down your assignments. Here is what’s different.
Before you start a homework assignment, the app will prompt you to:
1. Define the goal of the assignment: What will you learn to do?
2. Select the kinds of practice that best match what you expect on the tests.
3. Estimate how long it will take to learn this lesson.
4. Decide who you will call if you need help.

Then practice until you could get an A if there were a test tomorrow.
