Tips for Success

Trust the Recommendations

RSL uses your complete learning history to optimize your time.

1

Don't Skip Reviews

A few minutes of review prevents hours of relearning later.

2

Focus on Mastery

Better to deeply master 5 categories than superficially cover 11.

3

Use Tutor Mode for Weak Areas

Save Mock Exam mode for areas where you're building confidence.

4

Consistency Beats Intensity

30 minutes daily is more effective than 4 hours on weekends.

5

Review Your Feedback

Reading AI feedback is where much of the learning happens.
