Going into high school means a lot of studying, working, and tracking GPA. This app helps with everything. You can track your SAT and AST scores while also checking your college acceptance rate. It helped me a lot with homework and getting my assignments down. I tend to struggle with math especially, and this app made me learn a lot more just by asking one question. Definitely something you should download!
