Chapter priority planner

Rate how confident you feel on each of the 28 chapters, and this tool orders them so you revise your weakest chapters first.

Rate each chapter from shaky to solid. The planner puts your weakest chapters at the top, so your limited time goes where it changes your grade the most.

Rate each chapter: 1 = shaky, 3 = solid.

How to use it

  1. Wait for the list of chapters to load, each shown with a confidence dropdown next to it.
  2. Work through the list and set each chapter to 1, 2 or 3, where 1 means shaky and 3 means solid.
  3. Leave chapters you have not started yet at the default middle value rather than guessing high or low.
  4. Press the button to build your plan; the chapters reorder with your weakest ones first.
  5. Revisit the ratings after a few study sessions or a mock test, since confidence usually shifts once you attempt real questions.
  6. Scroll through the whole list once before rating anything, so a chapter near the bottom is not rushed just because you are tired of scrolling.

How to read the result

The planner does nothing more than sort the chapters by the number you gave each one, lowest first, and breaks ties by chapter order. A chapter rated 1 by you will always sit above one rated 2 or 3, regardless of how many marks that chapter is worth in the actual paper.

Use the ordered list as the sequence you tackle chapters in during a revision block, not as a statement of which chapters matter most for your grade. A chapter you rate as solid may still deserve a quick refresh if it is one you have not touched in months, since confidence ratings are only as accurate as your last honest attempt at that topic.

Because ties are broken by chapter order, two chapters you both rate as 1 will appear in their original syllabus sequence rather than in a random order, so do not read extra meaning into which of two equally weak chapters happens to come first.

What it does not do

The planner only reflects the confidence numbers you enter; it has no independent measure of how well you actually know each chapter, and it does not weight chapters by how often they are examined or how many marks they typically carry. It also has no memory between visits unless you keep the page open, so if you close the tab before writing down your plan, you will need to re-enter the ratings next time.

Frequently asked questions

What should count as "shaky" versus "solid"?
A useful test is whether you could explain the chapter's key processes and diagrams to a classmate without notes. If you would stumble on that, rate it low; if you could do it comfortably, rate it high.
Should every chapter start at the same rating?
No. Rate each one based on how it genuinely feels to you right now, even if that means most chapters land on the same number at first. The plan only becomes useful once the ratings reflect real differences between chapters.
Does the order the planner gives account for exam weighting?
No, it only sorts by your confidence ratings. Combine the ordered list with what you know about how heavily each chapter tends to be tested, rather than following the order alone.
Can I re-rate a chapter after I have already built one plan?
Yes. Change any dropdown and press the button again to get a fresh ordering; there is no limit on how many times you can rebuild the plan as your confidence changes.
Should I always start with the chapter at the very top of the list?
It is a reasonable default, but you can also group a couple of the weakest chapters together in one sitting if they are closely related, rather than strictly working top to bottom.
