SMART REVIEW BOARD

A revision plan that keeps your whole syllabus moving

Practice shows you what you got wrong. The review board makes sure you come back to it: your syllabus arrives preloaded, every spec point carries the date it is next due, and today’s plan cuts the list to the time you actually have.

TODAY'S PLAN

Say how long you have. Get that much to do.

Everything due across your subjects — reviews, new material from your plans, tasks, papers — is ranked and then cut to the minutes you have today. Deadlines first, then the points your next exam covers, then what is most overdue. Related points are grouped into short sessions, and what does not fit is said out loud rather than quietly dropped.

  • One budget for every subject, set day by day
  • Finish it and the day is done — no catch-up gate
  • Miss a day and tomorrow keeps the same minutes
Today's plan in Momentum: 2 hours 28 minutes of study recommended, six sessions out of the three hours available, then a 40-minute task due today and three review sessions — progressive waves three days overdue and rated hard, stationary waves two days overdue, and a maths series chapter — each with Start, Finish and Skip beside it.
The day itself: each session with its subject, its minutes, and the reason it made the list.
The foot of Momentum's daily plan: three optional cards — review overdue topics, learn something new with 138 points still to cover, and more practice — above a line saying what is still waiting and a seven-day chart of the work ahead, marked as estimates rather than measurements.
And underneath it — more if you want it, and an honest account of what is still waiting.

REVIEW BOARD

And the whole queue behind it

The plan picks from the board; the board keeps everything. Every spec point carries the date it comes back, how long it is worth, and what asked for it — the review schedule, a finish plan, or an exam that covers it. Nothing falls off the syllabus because you forgot it was there.

  • Reviews, goal work and exam revision in one queue
  • Rate one hard and it comes back sooner; easy, and it waits
  • Narrow it to one subject, or search the whole syllabus
The Momentum review queue expanded to individual syllabus points: a cathode-ray oscilloscope point three days overdue, rated hard and set to Learning, then wave motion due tomorrow at Practising, wave terms at Covered, and the wave equation at Exam Ready, each tagged with the Physics P2 mock that covers it, each saying how many times it has been reviewed, and each carrying a button marking it reviewed again.
Everything due, by date — each point with the exam that wants it, the status that set it, and how many times you have reviewed it.

PRELOADED SYLLABUSES

A percentage that actually means something

Your subjects arrive with the exam board's own chapters and spec points, in order. So 58% covered means 58% of the syllabus — not 58% of a list you wrote yourself.

  • Cambridge, IB, Edexcel, AQA, OCR, AP and SPM
  • Nothing to type in: pick the subject, get the syllabus
  • Or bring your own by pasting an outline

THE LOOP

Set it up once. After that it is the same three moves.

Nobody starts by logging time. You start by saying what you study — and from then on it is the app holding the plan, not you.

  1. Setuponce

    Pick your subjects

    The syllabus comes with them: the exam board's own chapters and spec points, in order, already scheduled. This is the whole of the setup, and it takes about a minute.

    Momentum's sign-up subject picker: cards for Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics arriving with 412, 388 and 264 syllabus rows, each naming the exam board it is taught on.

  2. Step 1

    Open the board

    Overdue first, then what is due today. The list was worked out before you got there, so the session starts with studying rather than with deciding what to study.

    The top of the Momentum review board: five overdue, two due today, 54 due within seven days, 21% of the syllabus covered, then links to today's plan and to all 61 points due for review, above the plan's own heading of 2 hours 28 minutes recommended.

  3. Step 2

    Log what you studied

    The minutes, and the spec points they covered. That one entry counts as the review as well — you are never recording the same work twice.

    Momentum's quick-log form — the date, a stopwatch, hours and minutes, the subject and a note — beside a chart of the last five weeks of study, the tallest week 20 hours 25 minutes.

  4. Step 3

    Every point books its own next date

    The status you gave it sets how long it goes away for, and your syllabus percentage moves with it. Tomorrow's board is built by the time you close the tab.

    Four Physics syllabus points in the Momentum queue, each carrying the date it comes back and the status that set it: an oscilloscope point three days overdue and rated hard at Learning, then wave motion, wave terms and the wave equation due tomorrow at Practising, Covered and Exam Ready.

Then it is step 1 again, on a board that has already counted what you did.

GOOD DEFAULTS, YOURS TO CHANGE

Set a status. The next review is scheduled from it.

These are the intervals a new account starts with — real gaps, not an illustration. Mark a topic hard and its review comes forward; mark one easy and it goes back. And the gaps are yours to set: tighten them for an exam three weeks out, or loosen them for a slow burn — each status by hand, or from an Intensive, Standard or Relaxed preset. Change it and everything you have studied is re-planned, without a thing turning overdue.

Four syllabus points in the Momentum queue, one at each status that parks a topic: an oscilloscope point rated hard, set to Learning and three days overdue; wave motion set to Practising; wave terms set to Covered; and the wave equation set to Exam Ready, the last three all due tomorrow, and each saying when it was last reviewed.
One row at each status that parks a topic, with the rating that stretches or shortens its next date.

Set your own gap for each status, or start from a preset — the Intensive pace here, tighter than the defaults in the table.

And the minutes themselves: your own for each day of the week, with a share kept free for sessions that run long.

SYLLABUS GOALS

Finish the syllabus before the exam, not after it

Give it your finish date. It spreads what is left across the days you actually study, puts a date on every point, and says so when your plans together ask for more of the week than you have.

  • How much is left, and how far ahead or behind you are
  • Chapter-by-chapter milestones between now and the date
  • Every plan you have, totalled against your week
A Physics AS finish plan in Momentum, running to March 2027 at 49% progress, with the next chapter due in December, a line totalling every plan at 13 hours a week against the 21 hours available, and cards for days remaining, required pace, being on track, and hours logged.
How long is left, the pace it needs, and what all your plans come to together.
The chapter timeline of a Momentum finish plan: progressive waves 81% covered and flagged as the chapter to work on next, four finished chapters after it, then stationary waves, diffraction and interference each planned for a date in December with the hours they will take.
And the route to it — every chapter with a date of its own.

EXAM PLANNING

Walk into each paper knowing you covered it

A mock in three weeks covers chapters 1 to 6, not the course. Tick what it includes and the run-up is built around that — and from 45 days out, the points on that paper are the first thing today's plan hands you.

  • A countdown, and how ready you are against it
  • The work still to do, spread over the whole run-up
  • Every due row the paper covers carries the exam's name

WHERE IT SITS

Keep what you study from. Momentum decides what needs studying.

It is not a replacement for your textbook or your teacher’s slides. It is the layer above them — the one that says which to open tonight, puts what your last paper got wrong back in the queue, and hands you the past-paper questions on it.

Questions about the planner

How does the scheduling work?

It is deterministic, not a guess. Each status carries an interval — the sensible default, or a gap you set yourself, from a preset or one status at a time — a rating you give a topic stretches or shortens it, and a finish date or exam spreads the outstanding work across the days you said you study. Today's plan then takes what is due and cuts it to the minutes you have. The app shows you the rule it is following at every step.

Do I have to type my syllabus in?

No. Most subjects arrive with their full official structure already loaded — every chapter and spec point, in order. Anything without one can take a pasted outline or a CSV, and can be imported later.

Is my data private?

Yes. Every account is fully isolated — separate data, enforced in the application layer and again by database row-level security.

Open the app. Work the list.

About a minute to set up. Pick your subjects, and the syllabus loads itself.
