Accountability
Give your next session a reason to happen.
Invite a classmate, keep a shared study rhythm, and make it easier to return to the course before the exam gets close.
Social studying for university
Study with friends. Keep your exam prep moving.
BetterGrades is a study with friends app for university students. Invite a classmate, take optional quiz challenges, and use weekly progress to keep your course-specific practice in motion.
Optional social featuresStudy solo or bring your group.
Why study together?
Social studying should lead to a real study action.
A group chat can make you feel busy without helping you decide what to do next. BetterGrades connects the social cue to a quiz, a flashcard review, or a weak topic from your course.
Tangible benefits
What a study buddy can change this week.
Active practice
Turn a shared plan into real questions.
Study together around the same course material, then use quizzes and flashcards to check what you can recall.
Friendly challenge
Make progress visible without making it personal.
Take an optional friend challenge or try to beat a best score when a little competition helps you start.
Weekly momentum
See the week you are building.
Weekly goals, XP, study activity, and challenge history give your study routine a visible shape.
The cost of doing nothing
Solo guesswork has a cost.
If you keep your study routine disconnected, you risk losing the check-in that gets you started, the progress signal that helps you return, and the chance to turn a short quiz into a shared habit.
You lose the cue to start.
Without a classmate, invite, or weekly goal in view, a study session can keep moving to tomorrow.
You lose a useful progress check.
A solo score tells you how one quiz went. A shared routine gives you another reason to notice whether you are returning and practising.
You risk carrying the wrong uncertainty.
When you study without a clear next action, you can spend time rereading familiar material while a weak concept waits for practice.
Why trust BetterGrades?
The social layer sits on a study loop you can inspect.
BetterGrades gives your group a shared reason to practise, then keeps the study decision tied to your own course material. You can see where the practice came from and what the feedback does and does not mean.
Your course material
Practice starts with a source you recognise.
BetterGrades uses your lecture notes, readings, and past exams to build quizzes and flashcards. Source references help you check the material behind a question.
Honest feedback
Exam Readiness shows practice, not a predicted grade.
The app connects your activity and concept coverage to a next topic. It does not claim to predict an official course grade or guarantee an exam result.
Your controls
Social features stay optional and manageable.
Invite people you choose, remove or block a connection, report a problem, and contact support when you need help.
How to get started
Start your online study group in four steps.
You do not need to organise a complicated study room. Start with one course, one practice session, and one classmate.
Add a course
Upload a lecture, reading, or past exam so your study group starts with material from the class.
Practise first
Create a quiz or flashcards, answer a few questions, and use the result to find a topic worth revisiting.
Invite a classmate
Open Friends, send a friend invite by email, or share your personal invite link with a study buddy.
Challenge and review
Try a friend challenge or best-score challenge, check your weekly progress, then return to the weak topic you found.
Study with friends FAQ
Questions before you invite someone?
What is a social study app?
A social study app gives you a way to study with friends through shared progress, invitations, check-ins, or challenges. BetterGrades connects those social features to quizzes and flashcards built from your course material.
How does BetterGrades help me study with friends?
Invite a classmate from Friends, follow weekly progress, take optional friend challenges, and compare a quiz score or best score. Each challenge sits alongside your course-specific practice.
Can I use BetterGrades without a study group?
Yes. Social features are optional. You can use BetterGrades on your own to upload course material, practise with quizzes or flashcards, and review weak topics in Exam Readiness.
Is BetterGrades a grade predictor?
No. Exam Readiness summarises your practice activity and concept coverage. It supports a study decision, not an official course grade or a promise about your exam result.
How do I stay safe in a study buddy app?
Only invite people you want to connect with. BetterGrades lets you remove or block a connection, report a problem, and contact support. Read the Privacy Policy before you upload course material or use social features.
Give your next study session a classmate.
Start with your course material, invite one person, and use a shared challenge to keep the next practice session visible.
