Case Study: Building an EdTech Platform in Just 48 Hours to Help Students Prepare for Exams with Confidence

Client Overview

A fast-growing EdTech company wanted to help students prepare for exams with structure and confidence. Their goal was to create a platform that would provide personalized study plans, real-time feedback, and progress tracking—so students wouldn’t feel lost or overwhelmed as exams approached.

The Challenge

Many students struggle with staying on track while studying. Some spend too much time on topics they already know, while others don’t realize what they need to focus on until it’s too late. The company had been manually guiding students through their study plans, but this approach had serious limitations:

1. Too time-consuming – Every student needed an individual plan, regular check-ins, and tailored recommendations. This made scaling impossible.
2. Lack of real-time feedback – Students had no way of knowing if they were improving or what they should focus on next.
3. Exam anxiety – Without clear progress tracking, students often felt unprepared and unsure of how to use their remaining study time effectively.

The founder had an important investor meeting in just 48 hours and needed a working platform to show how their system could be scaled. It wasn’t just about having an idea—it was about proving that it could work in practice.

The Solution: A Fully Functional MVP in Just 48 Hours

At Fcode Labs, we believe in building quickly and efficiently, without compromising quality. Our Accelerate framework helps founders turn their ideas into working products in record time.

Step 1: Understanding the Problem First

Before jumping into development, we spent time breaking down how the company’s manual system worked:

• How study plans were created for students.
• How progress was tracked to see if students were improving.
• What kind of feedback students needed to stay motivated.

This allowed us to design a system that worked just as well—if not better—than the manual approach, but without the constant manual effort.

Step 2: Rapid Development Without Overcomplication

With a clear picture of the process, we built a fully functional platform in just 48 hours, featuring:

✔ Personalized study plans – A structured revision schedule based on exam dates and subject difficulty.
✔ Instant feedback on quizzes and tests – Students could see right away what they needed to improve.
✔ Real-time progress tracking – A dashboard to help students stay motivated and focused.
✔ Study reminders and scheduling tools – Helping students stay consistent without feeling overwhelmed.

Step 3: Testing and Delivering a Working Product

Time was tight, so we ran everything on a fast-paced timeline:

• First 12 hours – Built the study planner and tracking system.
• Next 12 hours – Added interactive quizzes and feedback.
• Final 24 hours – Designed the interface, tested the platform, and got it ready for the investor demo.

The result? A fully working MVP in just 48 hours—something the founder could present confidently, not just as a concept, but as a product that was ready to be used.

The Results

• Successful investor pitch – The founder demonstrated a real, working platform instead of just slides and mockups.
• More efficient operations – The platform eliminated hours of manual effort, making it easier to scale.
• Positive student feedback – Early users found the structured approach reduced their exam stress and improved their confidence.
