Getting the most from ClearConcept
A suggested study rhythm that builds lasting knowledge
ClearConcept is built around a simple loop: read a point, rate your confidence, review your weak spots. Here's how to use it effectively as part of a broader study routine.
The daily routine (20–30 mins)
- Open the Review queue first — work through any weak points from previous sessions before adding new ones
- Then move to your current topic in your course map. Read 5–10 new learning points
- Rate each one honestly — 'got it' only when you could explain it to someone else without looking
- Close the app. Write a 3-sentence summary of what you just studied, from memory
- Return tomorrow and check your review queue before starting anything new
Honesty with confidence ratings is everything. If you rate a point as 'got it' when you're only vaguely familiar with it, your review queue won't protect you in the exam.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Reading learning points passively without pausing to check understanding
- Skipping the rating step — this is the most important part of each session
- Only reviewing new material and never returning to old topics
- Ignoring the 'weak' queue because the points feel hard
- Trying to cover too many points in one session — depth beats speed
Weekly rhythm
Use weekday sessions for new content and reviewing weak points. Reserve one weekend session per week for a full topic recap — go back to an earlier section and test yourself from scratch without reading any learning points first. This is the most powerful thing you can do to consolidate knowledge.
