Study Subject Wheel

The study subject wheel picks what to revise next, which matters because left to choose, most people revise the subject they are already best at.

Put your subjects on the wheel and spin for what comes next in the session.

There is a well-documented trap in revision: given a free choice, students spend the most time on the material they already know, because reviewing familiar content feels productive and fluent. The subject that would move your grade the most is the one that feels worst to open, so it keeps getting pushed to tomorrow.

A wheel does not care how any of it feels. It hands you a subject and you start. The default slices include "the one you have been avoiding" for exactly this reason — most people know precisely which subject that is, and naming it on the wheel makes it real.

Pair it with a timer. Spin, work for twenty-five minutes, take five, spin again. Turn on remove-after-spin across a session so you cover everything rather than circling the same two subjects.

Study Subject Wheel — questions

Why not just choose what to revise?

Because given a free choice, most people pick what they already know. Familiar material feels productive to review, so the subject that would actually move your grade keeps getting deferred.

How do I cover everything in one session?

Turn on "Remove winner after spin". Each subject leaves the wheel once drawn, so a session works through all of them instead of returning to the same two.

Can I weight it towards a weaker subject?

Yes. Add that subject as two or three slices and it comes up proportionally more often, which is a sensible way to bias your time towards where it is needed without abandoning the rest.
