Grades ~ roadmap to an A At the end of the semester, we all scramble to remember our exam grades and figure out what grade we need on the final to get an A. This app takes away the work and tracks it all for you!
Homeworkr If you're anything like me, your syllabus that was handed out on the first day of class undoubtedly is lost by the next day. With this app, I can keep track of all my assignments and due dates in one place!
Rate My Professors Ever have a professor that makes your favorite subject miserable? Not anymore! With Rate Your Professor you can check out the professors that teach your class before walking in the door so you can avoid those mean and boring professors.
PocketCAS 2 pro for iPhone Graphing calculators are expensive, so any chance you can get to find a less expensive alternative is welcome, especially for those classes you're required to take (calculus anyone? GROSS.)

Great list. Does the iPad change any of your thoughts on this list?

I haven't played with the iPad yet so I'm not sure... I have a MacBook and an iPhone so I haven't heard a compelling argument for the iPad in my life yet :)

I'd add EleMints to this list. It's like a periodic table on steroids. I wish I had it when I took Chemistry. I think I might have passed!

Wow, I didn't graduate but like five years ago (with a tech related degree no less) and these apps make me feel old. We thought using the school's messaging system to crowdsource study guides was groundbreaking. It's also worth noting a lot of individual school have their own apps...I know there's a few for UT where I'm from in Austin.

Hey Jennifer, thanks for the list! I think iStudiez Pro would be a pretty good candidate also.

By the way, thanks for including my app, Grades. I'm glad you found it helpful.
