Every quiz you take in DAFi feeds a personalized revision sheet: your revision priorities, your mistakes explained one by one, and flashcards for the concepts you haven't mastered yet. It updates after each quiz, so your revision always targets what's left.
Adaptive revision in DAFi means your next study session is based on what you actually got wrong. After each quiz, DAFi analyzes your answers concept by concept and generates a revision sheet: which concepts to review first, why you made each mistake, and flashcards to fix it. You stop reviewing everything evenly and start spending your time where it counts.
To be clear about what "adaptive" means here: DAFi doesn't run a spaced-repetition scheduler that decides which day you should review. It adapts what you review, using your own quiz results. You still choose when, and our spaced repetition guide can help you plan that.
How it works
- Start with a quiz. On any note, the calibration quiz gives DAFi a first measure of what you know (see the AI quiz generator).
- DAFi scores each concept. Your answers are grouped by concept, and the note gets its own strengths and weaknesses.
- You get a revision sheet. It contains two parts:
- Revision priorities: the concepts you're weakest on, each with a "Revise" button that launches flashcards on that concept.
- Explained mistakes: for each error, the cause of the confusion, the context from your course, the key takeaway and, sometimes, a YouTube video to watch.
- Review with flashcards. Swipe through the cards and mark each one as known or to review (see flashcards).
- Take the next quiz level. After Quiz 1/3, 2/3 or 3/3, the revision sheet is updated. Previous versions stay in the history, so you can see how your weak points shift.
Who it's for
Inès, nursing student. Her pharmacology note is long and everything looks important. The calibration quiz shows she's solid on drug classes but mixes up contraindications. Her revision sheet lists those three concepts first, with the reason for each mistake. She spends twenty minutes there instead of two hours rereading.
Tom, economics student preparing a final. Tom has six notes for the course. Instead of reviewing them in order, he opens each note's strengths and weaknesses and starts with the ones where the revision sheet has the most priorities.
Tips
- Don't skip the explained mistakes. Knowing why you picked the wrong answer is what stops you from making the same mistake on exam day.
- Revise right after the quiz, then quiz again later. Go through the flashcards for your priorities the same day, then take the next level a few days later to check it stuck.
- Use the history. If a concept keeps coming back on your sheet after several quizzes, it's a sign to go back to the full note, ask your professor or rewrite it in your own words.
- Combine it with active recall. The whole loop (quiz, feedback, targeted review) is active recall in practice.
Frequently asked questions
What is adaptive revision?
It's a way of studying where the material you review depends on your results. In DAFi, the quizzes measure your level concept by concept, and the revision sheet and flashcards focus on the concepts you haven't mastered yet.
Is it the same as spaced repetition?
No. Spaced repetition is about when you review. DAFi's adaptive revision is about what you review. The two work well together: use DAFi to pick your targets, and space your sessions over time.
Where do the flashcards come from?
They're generated for the weak concepts found by your quizzes, from the content of your own note. That's why they unlock after your first calibration quiz.
Can I see how I progressed?
Yes. Each note shows your strengths and weaknesses, the revision sheet keeps a history of its versions, and the progress tracking view shows your overall evolution.
Quiz, understand your mistakes, review only what's missing, repeat. That's revision tailored to you, not to the average student.
