I have some important tests coming up for school, and I was wondering if any of you people have tips on how I can effectively study. I'm open to anything, I've already tried flash cards, Pomodoro, and some other stuff I can't completely recall. I've found that doing solo Blooket homework seems to help me improve, but I need something that isn't online, just in case the power goes out or I need to study in the car on my way to a concert or convention. I also have Inattentive ADHD, if that helps.

Hmm... I'll think of something..
At my school they have Padlet Sandoboxes that we use often in Geometry. IDK if there was an offline version available, but it might be something to look into.
There might be an offline Version of blooket too, as we use them in EarthSci.
If I have one today, might test that out.
-Update, Tried blooket without internet, No-go, sadly.
Also have another suggestion that would also be very helpful. In our classes, we use something called "Gimkit". Sort of a mix of Blooket and Roblox so to speak with different game modes. We use these often, and are usually very helpful.
Mostly the things we use require an Internet connection, however. Maybe look into-long term a laptop with a SIM card slot or something along the lines. That way you can be constantly connected wherever you head to. Dell would be a good starting point- but I can't tell if the drivers for it are all fine with the SIM, so if you need be, just make sure it would have correct drivers available to use it.

We use gimkit in our classes, it's less of flash cards and a lot more game-ish for me. I think Blooket might be the go-to for me, just sucks that there's nothing like it for offline use.

The way I read textbooks helps me a lot:
I make it a two-way conversation, asking questions and then reading for the answers. Like,
"Why that title for this chapter?"
"Other references to this?' (footnotes are awesome)
"Theory or proven fact?"
"Compare to something else - apples and oranges or an actual fair comparison?"
I look for logical fallacies in textbooks and so far I've identified one zillion and twelve of them this semester alone.

Totally unrelated to schoolwork - my school days are more than 45 years behind me now! - but when I'm Bash scripting, I frequently like to try out new ways of doing stuff.....so I will research, literally "on-the-fly" AS I'm coding.
I've gained a new understanding of many processes which I've seen put into practice before......yet which I haven't always fully understood.
It's another good way of keeping your faculties sharp!
