Revise Today & spaced revision

Revise Today is Dooit's daily recall queue — one screen that gathers everything worth a second look: study topics due for revision, MCQs you got wrong, and your latest saved articles and answers. This guide shows how the queue is built and how spaced repetition decides when each topic comes back.

Open your revision queue

1. On the Home tab, scroll the quick-action cards sideways.
2. Tap the card titled Revise Today — its subtitle reads Clear due topics, mistakes, and saved notes.
3. The REVISE TODAY screen opens. The summary card at the top shows your total revision items, with four small counters — topics, mistakes, CA and Q&A.

Two more ways in: on the Plan tab, a Revise Today card below today's tasks shows how many items are waiting — tap OPEN. And tapping START on any plan task of the Revision type brings you straight here. Pull down on the screen any time to refresh the queue.

The four sources and their buttons

The queue is built from exactly four places. Each section appears only when it has something for you, in this order:

DUE TOPICS

Up to 12 study topics you marked complete in Learn whose revision date has arrived. Each card shows your confidence rating, how many times you have revised it, and a Due now chip. Tap READ TOPIC to open the full study note.

MCQ MISTAKES

Up to 8 questions you answered wrong or skipped, shown once their retry date arrives. Cards carry a Wrong attempt or Skipped chip plus the mistake type. Tap RETRY TOPIC to start a fresh quiz on that question's subject and topic — it is a topic drill, not a replay of that one question. The question leaves the queue once your latest attempt on it is correct.

SAVED CURRENT AFFAIRS

Your 5 most recent bookmarked current-affairs articles. Tap OPEN ARTICLE to re-read one in full.

SAVED Q&A

Your 5 most recent bookmarked Q&A answers. Tap OPEN SAVED to open your Q&A history on its SAVED tab. Saved articles and answers are not scheduled — they stay listed until you remove the bookmark, so every revision visit can end with a quick re-read.

How the spacing works

Topics are the only items you rate yourself on, and that rating is what sets the timing:

1. Open a topic in Learn and read it.
2. Tap MARK COMPLETE in the bottom bar.
3. A sheet asks How well do you know this topic? Pick one: Need Revision ("I need to read this again soon"), Understood ("I get the concepts, can recall key points"), or Mastered ("I can explain this topic and answer PYQs").
4. The note header now shows Next revision: {date} and a revision counter. When that date arrives, the topic appears under DUE TOPICS.

In plain words: the base gap grows every time you complete the same topic — 1, 3, 7, 14, 30, then 60 days. Your rating then bends that gap. Need Revision halves it, Understood keeps it as is, and Mastered stretches it about 1.5 times longer. The better you rate yourself, the longer Dooit waits before asking you to revise again.

MCQ mistakes schedule themselves — no rating needed. Careless or skipped mistakes return in about a day, elimination or factual slips in about two, conceptual gaps in about three. Each repeat miss on the same question adds roughly two more days, capped at 14.

What it costs

Browsing Revise Today is free for everyone and never touches your daily AI allowance. READ TOPIC and OPEN ARTICLE open free reading surfaces too. RETRY TOPIC starts a normal MCQ quiz: it only spends one daily AI action when brand-new questions must be generated for that topic — re-practising existing bank questions costs nothing. On the Free plan, a retry that needs fresh AI questions may show the friendly daily-limit screen instead; see Free vs paid for what each plan includes.

If a card itself looks wrong — a bad question, a stale article — tap the small flag icon (Report) in its corner. See Report wrong content for how reports work.
