Quick Tips: Using Pictures to Your Advantage

In the working world, there's an unwritten motto: "Work Smarter, Not Harder." One the parts of this motto is knowing what to study in a certain class; in this case, history. So if you're a student who has a test coming up and you don't know what to do to study, you've got something in your pocket that can help you out!

...No, not that, you pervert! It's your phone, specifically the camera function/app! A teacher will usually give hints to when a test or quiz is coming up, so if you're smart, you can use your camera to help you out. For example, I have a test tomorrow over an era in AP US History. On Friday, my teacher "subtly" dropped the hint that the entirety of the quiz was in the American History AMSCO book. Because I don't own this book, I took pictures of it; not to cheat, you un-trusting teachers, but to actually study the correct material to prepare me for the test.

Every time phones are involved with history class, teachers seem to think it's cheating. But you can actually have a valid excuse! Don't abuse the leniency of the teacher though; this could easily be taken away if you're caught cheating using pictures of things other than questions to study. Also, not many teachers will allow you to use phones in class, so be careful, because you don't want to lose any points over this. So if you just find what you need help with, photograph relative info to help study, and NOT CHEAT, you should be fine! I guess this is more of a Life Hack than a Quick Tip, but to each their own.
