Never, under any circumstances (but especially in school), should anyone ever be without immediate access to a dictionary and/or thesaurus. It's a concept that just makes you a better person. What if a random game of Scrabble breaks out? How will you ever be able to prove that "om" is a word, and not just a sound? You won't, and that could cost you a triple letter score.

RK-83: Scientific Graphing Calculator

Gone are the days when students are required to drop almost $100 of their parents' money on the latest Texas Instruments model, and we now live in an age where pupils are free to use their graphing calculator of choice. The RK-83: Scientific Graphing Calculator app may not be the best out there, but it offers a cool grayscale feature that makes you feel like you're still sticking to your TI-83 roots.

Doodle

Everyone's got that one boring class that they dread going to, where you can barely stay awake long enough to even feign interest. This little Doodle app will help keep your eyes open while you at least look sort of like you're taking notes. And, as an added bonus, it won't take up all of your attention like the 8000 games you have loaded on your phone, so you can at least over hear what your teacher is saying, as if to validate their tenure.
