What it is
Plot topics by importance (exam weight) vs your confidence. Tackle high-importance, low-confidence first.
When to use it
When time is limited and you cannot review everything equally.
How to do it
- Draw a 2×2 grid: important/unimportant vs know/don’t know.
- Study “important + don’t know” quadrants first.
- Skim “unimportant + know” last or skip.
Common mistakes
- Reviewing easy favorite topics to feel good.
- Ignoring high-mark sections you dislike.
- No estimate of marks per topic.
