2. Qudoo
Its creators claim it to be India's first Education-Gaming-Social (EGS).
This app is for students who are competitive and want to test themselves at every step. Qudoo helps you validate your knowledge in a fun-filled environment. In this, you can fight battles (quiz battles) with random opponents from all over India. These battles are then followed by an elaborative explanation, thus helping you revise the topics (especially GK) that you have already learned. The best thing is it is absolutely FREE of cost and Ad free.
This app is amazing for covering topics such as Current Affairs, General Knowledge and Legal Reasoning. The gaming environment keeps students engaged and makes studying a fun-filled process. Practising on this app helps you learn the art of skipping and taking wise decision. It penalizes you for hitting a wrong option and signals you to skip the question in case you are putting too much time.
The best thing this app offers is an improvement in problem-solving speed. The score you obtain on answering each question correctly/incorrectly directly depends on your answering speed. The sooner you hit the correct answer, the more points will be obtained.
Thus, this app can replace all the social media and gaming apps in your phone which only drain your energy and time.

3. Inshorts
Inshorts is a news app that provides a 60-word summary of the most recent news. Sometimes, the students don’t get enough time to read the newspaper and watch TV for news. This is what students want in this fast-paced world - to consume news on the go!
This app has a brilliant design, easy UI and hand-picked news. This is another app to get in touch with day-to-day news and stay updated. All the news in the app is divided into several categories. If you only want to read the news regarding politics, then choose the Politics category and then only news related to politics will appear on your screen.

4. ReaderPro
This app helps you develop speed reading, attentiveness and memory skills. The app will be useful even if you rarely read. Just after 2-3 trainings, the imagination will work in a completely different way!
An average person perceives about 200 words per minute and assimilates only 50-60% of the information while reading. If you need to remember something, you have to go back to the same sentences. As a result, you can quickly get tired and lose interest in the process. This app helps you to master the skim reading process and will be beneficial as four out of five sections in CLAT consist of 'Paragraph Based Questions'.

5. The Hindu
Since the students are tested on their comprehension skills, reading the newspaper is the best way to improve your English reading speed and vocabulary. I prefer The Hindu as it never contains unnecessary news!
Apart from the reading section which can be covered using the newspaper the Grammar portion can be prepared from Wren n martin book, it is simply the best among all!!
Hope you all find these app amazing and will help you acing the examination.
