So, What Is BYJU'S Exam Preparation, Really?

Alright, let's talk about byju's exam preparation in simple terms: it's basically BYJU'S way of helping students get ready for exams using videos, practice questions, and structured courses inside their app. The idea is you watch lessons, solve tests, and track your progress for school exams or big tests like JEE, NEET, UPSC, etc. It’s helpful for understanding concepts, but on its own, it doesn’t fully fix the “I forgot everything a week later” problem. That’s where using a proper revision system like flashcards and spaced repetition (with something like Flashrecall) makes a huge difference and actually helps you remember what BYJU'S teaches long-term.

BYJU'S vs How Your Brain Actually Remembers Stuff

BYJU'S exam preparation is great for learning concepts the first time:

  • Video lectures
  • Animated explanations
  • Practice questions and tests
  • Structured courses by syllabus

But here’s the catch:

Your brain doesn’t care how pretty the video was. It only remembers what you actively review again and again, at the right time.

Most students do this:

1. Watch BYJU'S videos

2. Solve some questions

3. Feel “okay, I get it now”

4. Forget 70% in a week

This is normal. The problem isn’t BYJU'S. The problem is no proper revision system.

That’s why pairing BYJU'S (or any course) with a flashcard app like Flashrecall is honestly a cheat code. You learn with BYJU'S, then use Flashrecall to lock that knowledge into long-term memory.

Why BYJU'S Alone Isn’t Enough For Serious Exam Prep

If you’re using BYJU'S exam preparation for big exams like NEET, JEE, UPSC, boards, etc., you probably already noticed:

  • You understand the concept while watching
  • You do fine on their practice tests
  • But when you try to recall a formula or definition a week later… brain just goes blank

That happens because:

  • Watching = passive learning
  • Remembering in an exam = active recall
  • Long-term retention = spaced repetition

BYJU'S leans heavily on teaching and testing. What’s missing is a daily, smart revision system that tells you:

> “Hey, today you need to review these 35 concepts before you forget them.”

That’s exactly what Flashrecall does with flashcards and automatic spaced repetition.

How Flashrecall Fits Perfectly With BYJU'S Exam Preparation

Think of it like this:

  • BYJU'S = your teacher
  • Flashrecall = your personal revision brain

You learn from BYJU'S, then immediately convert the important stuff into flashcards in Flashrecall so you don’t forget it.

Flashrecall makes this super easy because you can create cards from almost anything:

  • Screenshots from BYJU'S videos or notes
  • Text you copy from PDFs or websites
  • Audio explanations
  • YouTube links
  • Or just type your own questions and answers

And then:

  • It uses built-in spaced repetition to automatically schedule reviews
  • It uses active recall (you see the question, try to remember, then check the answer)
  • It sends study reminders so you don’t fall off

Works on iPhone and iPad, is fast, modern, and free to start, and even works offline when you’re on the go.

Again, here’s the link:

https://apps.apple.com/us/app/flashrecall-study-flashcards/id6746757085

1. Turn BYJU'S Lessons Into Flashcards (In Minutes)

Instead of just watching and moving on, do this:

Step-by-step:

1. Watch your BYJU'S lesson

Example: Gravitation, Human Physiology, Polity, Organic Chemistry, whatever.

2. Right after the video, pause and ask:

  • “What are the 5–10 most important points?”
  • “What formulas/definitions will the exam actually test?”

3. Open Flashrecall and:

  • Make flashcards like:
  • Q: State Newton’s law of gravitation.

A: [Your answer]

  • Q: Formula for gravitational force.

A: F = G m₁m₂ / r²

4. Or even faster:

  • Take a screenshot of a key slide from BYJU'S
  • Import that image into Flashrecall
  • Turn it into flashcards instantly

You’re basically turning BYJU'S content into personal exam weapons.

2. Use Spaced Repetition So You Don’t Have to “Re-Study” Everything

Cramming = learn → forget → panic → repeat.

Spaced repetition = learn → review at the right time → remember for months.

Flashrecall automatically keeps track and reminds you of the cards you don't remember well so you remember faster. Like this :

Flashrecall has spaced repetition built-in:

  • You review a flashcard
  • You rate how hard it was
  • The app automatically decides when you’ll see it again
  • Easy? You’ll see it after a longer gap
  • Hard? You’ll see it sooner

No need to track anything yourself. No planner, no Excel sheet, no “I’ll revise this chapter every Sunday” plan that you never follow.

BYJU'S helps you understand.

Flashrecall makes sure you never lose what you understood.

3. Use Active Recall Instead of Just Rewatching BYJU'S Videos

You know that feeling when you’re rewatching the same BYJU'S video thinking:

> “Yeah yeah, I remember this.”

Then in the exam:

> “Wait… what was that step again?”

That’s because recognition (“this looks familiar”) is not the same as recall (“I can say it from memory”).

Flashrecall is built around active recall:

  • You see a question
  • You try to answer from memory
  • Then you check the answer

This is way more powerful than:

  • Re-reading notes
  • Highlighting textbooks
  • Rewatching videos

So instead of watching the same BYJU'S lecture three times, watch it once, then:

  • Make flashcards in Flashrecall
  • Review those cards over a few days

You’ll remember more in less time.

4. Combine BYJU'S Practice Tests With Flashrecall

Here’s a simple system:

1. Take a BYJU'S test or quiz

2. Every time you:

  • Get a question wrong, or
  • Guess and get lucky, or
  • Take too long to recall a concept

→ Turn that question into a Flashrecall card.

3. Example flashcards:

  • Q: What is the correct order of these steps in glycolysis?
  • Q: Article related to XYZ in the Indian Constitution?
  • Q: Shortcut trick for this type of permutation problem?

Over time, your Flashrecall deck becomes:

> A personalized list of “things I actually struggle with,”

instead of random content.

That’s way more efficient than just doing more and more tests without fixing your weak spots.

5. Use Flashrecall for Every Subject You Study on BYJU'S

Flashrecall isn’t tied to any one exam. You can use it with anything you’re learning:

  • School exams:
  • Physics formulas
  • Chemistry reactions
  • History dates and events
  • Geography maps and facts
  • Competitive exams (JEE, NEET, UPSC, etc.):
  • Concepts, definitions, laws
  • Important articles, amendments, case laws
  • Bio diagrams and labels (import as images!)
  • Short notes and mnemonics
  • Languages or vocab:
  • English vocab
  • Foreign languages
  • Idioms, phrases, grammar rules

BYJU'S teaches you all this.

Flashrecall helps you recall it instantly when it counts.

6. Why Not Just Use BYJU'S Notes or PDFs?

You totally can use BYJU'S notes and PDFs. But ask yourself:

  • Do you actually review them regularly?
  • Or do they just sit there while you think “I’ll revise later”?

Flashrecall fixes that with:

  • Study reminders – the app literally nudges you to review
  • Offline mode – revise even when you don’t have good internet
  • Chat with your flashcards – if you’re unsure about a card, you can chat to understand it better (super handy when revising complex topics)

So instead of scrolling social media in small breaks, you can bang out:

  • 20–30 flashcards in 5–10 minutes
  • Across multiple subjects

Tiny sessions, huge impact.

7. BYJU'S vs Flashrecall – They’re Not Competitors, They’re a Combo

Just to be clear:

BYJU'S exam preparation and Flashrecall do different jobs:

Thing You NeedBYJU'S Exam PreparationFlashrecall
Learn new concepts✅ Yes⚪ Not the main focus
Watch video explanations✅ Yes⚪ No
Practice tests & quizzes✅ Yes⚪ Limited to your cards
Remember stuff long-term⚠️ Not optimized✅ Absolutely
Spaced repetition⚠️ Basic/indirect✅ Built-in, automatic
Active recall every day⚠️ Only via tests✅ Core feature
Turn any content into cards⚪ Not really✅ Text, images, audio, PDFs, YouTube

So the move isn’t “BYJU'S or Flashrecall”.

The smart move is BYJU'S + Flashrecall.

How to Start Using Flashrecall With BYJU'S Today

You don’t need a complicated system. Try this simple routine for a week:

1. Pick one BYJU'S chapter per day

2. After watching, create:

  • 10–20 flashcards in Flashrecall

3. Spend:

  • 15–20 minutes every day reviewing cards the app schedules for you

4. Add new cards whenever:

  • You get something wrong in a test
  • You learn a new formula, law, or definition

After 7 days, you’ll notice:

  • You remember more without rewatching videos
  • You feel more confident solving questions
  • Revision doesn’t feel overwhelming anymore
