How do I use FSRS for exam?

I think that a more reasonable choice would be the duration for which the user would have studied the deck at the time of the exam.

For example, if the user is studying the deck for 6 months now and the exam is in 3 months from now. A reasonable choice for “Days to stimulate” would be 270 days (= 9 months).

Should I put the “Compute minimum recommended retention” number instead of desired retention?

It tells you the minimum desired retention you can use. For an exam, you will likely want a higher retention than the minimum.

@Ankiuser1427

Do I have to change the desired retention number every day according to the Compute minimum recommended retention?

You have to calculate it only once. However, if you reoptimize the FSRS parameters later, you may want to calculate the minimum retention again.
