Throughout the years, students struggled with finding the best and fastest way to learn and prepare for their exams. All the books, notes from lectures, and organizing study time left them with little to no free time. They had to go to the library to look for some extra material that would help them understand the topics they studied better and improve their grades.

In 2012, Adib Jackob and Soheil Zaman founded GradeBuddy, a platform where students can share their notes and study guides with students from all around the country, from any university, and thus save time and energy during semesters, especially weeks prior to their exams. Ever since 2012, the site has been improving, adding more and more universities to enrich their documents base. Students who are subscribers can find the notes from their courses no matter which university they come from or which course they attend.

There are those brilliant students, professionals in note taking who attend every class, create concise and high-quality notes, and prepare study guides that others can use to prepare better for their exams, or when writing essays or doing some presentations. Students no longer have to worry about taking notes during lectures; they can sit, concentrate and listen to a professor carefully and focus on video material presented and learn as much as possible during lectures.

After 48 hours (that’s how long it takes for all submitted notes to be checked, and yes, they have to meet the rigorous rules) students just log in to their profiles and have all notes they need there. They no longer have to search for other sites that may or may not have some material that covers the topic they study. On GradeBuddy, they can find everything that their professor emphasized during classes, which is of immense help when it comes to preparing for exams; students know which information is relevant and what deserves more attention.

GradeBuddy offers paid or free study materials. Students with excellent note-taking skills, can get access to GradeBuddy materials by uploading their own notes, earn credits which they can use to purchase a premium membership.

For those with poor note-taking skills, there is more than one option. GradeBuddy offers various subscription packages.

What all students find incredibly amazing about GradeBuddy is the price of these subscriptions. They are budget friendly and the service they get is top quality. There are absolutely no documents containing false or irrelevant information; all outdated documents get removed. There are also flashcards which students can make to review the key points before exams or use flashcards of other students.

GradeBuddy has helped students around the USA study smarter, not harder; they have been improving their grades while having enough time to finally get some decent sleep. The levels of stress are reduced since they no longer have to spend hours just rummaging through their poorly written or badly organized notes, study books, slides.

Aside from GradeBuddy, there are other similar sites, but according to their users, they are a bit pricey, they find some outdated materials, or students cannot find the notes for courses they attend.

GradeBuddy makes sure to have notes from all courses, and in a case that a course is canceled, students get a refund.
