See it in action

It chooses, you practise

No topic picker, no set-size control, no filters. That is deliberate. The whole point of Smart Review is that the schedule, not your mood, decides what comes back.

Worst first

Due topics are ordered by how likely you are to have forgotten them. The one closest to slipping is the one you see first.

Your mistakes lead

Inside a topic, questions that hit a misconception you have already shown come before questions you have never tried, which come before ones you have mastered.

One dial, one sentence, one button

The Smart Review screen shows how many topics are due, tells you what that means, and offers a single button: Review now. If nothing is due, it says so and points you at the Question Bank instead. There is nothing else to configure.

  • Due-topic count updated from your practice
  • Review now starts a 10-question session
  • Honest empty state when nothing is due

Every answer moves the schedule

Each topic in a review session gets rescheduled once, based on how you did. A wrong answer brings the topic back soon. A correct answer with a hint pushes it out a little. A clean correct answer pushes it out further. The questions themselves are fresh instances, so you are recalling the method, not the answer.

  • Wrong: comes back soon
  • Correct with a hint: a small step out
  • Clean correct: a bigger step out

What is spaced repetition and why does it work for maths?

Spaced repetition means retrieving something from memory at increasing intervals, timed to land just before you would forget it. Each successful retrieval makes the memory more durable, so the next interval can be longer. FSRS is the scheduler that predicts when recall is about to drop and sets the interval. For maths it works because the thing being retrieved is a method, not a fact, and ExamPilot serves a fresh question each time, so you are practising the method rather than remembering a flashcard.

How does Smart Review decide what I practise?

Smart Review runs FSRS, a modern spaced repetition scheduler, at the level of Cambridge 9709 Pure 1 topics. Every topic you have practised anywhere in ExamPilot gets a review card. When a card's predicted recall drops towards 90 percent, the topic is due. A session takes the due topics, orders them worst first, and serves ten fresh questions across them. How you answer sets the next review date for each topic.

Three steps, one of them yours

  1. 1

    Practise anywhere in ExamPilot

    Question Bank, Drills, any session. Each Pure 1 topic you touch gets a review schedule. You do not set anything up.

  2. 2

    Topics come due

    As predicted recall for a topic falls, it joins the due list. The dial on the Smart Review screen shows how many are waiting.

  3. 3

    Press Review now

    Ten fresh questions across your due topics, worst first. Wrong answers bring a topic back sooner. Clean answers push it further out.

Smart Review in four lines

  • One button. The schedule picks the topics, not you.
  • FSRS spaced repetition, scheduled per Pure 1 topic, targeting 90 percent recall.
  • Ten fresh questions per session, worst-remembered topics first.
  • Only Smart Review moves your review schedule. Question Bank and Drills leave it alone.

Works with Question Bank and Drills

Smart Review only knows about topics you have practised, so the Question Bank is where the schedule starts. Drills use the same signals about your misconceptions to suggest a skill to fix, but they never change the review schedule. The three share one question engine and differ only in who chooses what you see next.

Before you ask

Smart Review: frequently asked questions

FSRS, the Free Spaced Repetition Scheduler, not the older SM-2. It predicts how likely you are to recall a topic and schedules the review for just before that probability drops below the 90 percent target. Scheduling is per Cambridge 9709 Pure 1 topic, not per question.

Ten, every time. There is no picker. The ten are spread across your due topics, starting with the topic you are most likely to have forgotten.

No, and that is the point. Smart Review is the one surface where the schedule decides. If you want to pick topics, use the Question Bank. It never changes your review schedule, so you can grind freely.

The screen says so and offers a link to the Question Bank. Smart Review will not invent a session just to keep you busy.

No. Every item is a fresh Cambridge 9709 Pure 1 question with instant marking and a worked solution, generated from a template with new numbers. You are practising the method, not memorising a card.

No. Only Smart Review reschedules a topic. Question Bank and Drills record what you got right and wrong, which shapes which questions Smart Review picks within a topic, but they do not move the review dates.
