Your Dashboard — mission control

The Dashboard lives at the / route. Because the cards react to your data and your countdown, a brand-new user's Dashboard looks different from someone three days out from their exam — so don't worry if yours doesn't match a screenshot exactly. Read it top to bottom: urgent things first, everyday numbers in the middle, forecasts on the right.

Time-sensitive banners

The top of your Dashboard is reserved for banners that only show up when they're relevant. If one appears, it's because the calendar says it matters right now — a checklist in your final week, a registration nudge from two months out, or a note that you might be pushing too hard. Here's the full set.

1. T-minus exam-day checklist — appears only in your final 7 days. A navy countdown card with a 5-item checklist: test-center route confirmed, ID/documents ready, a recent mock completed, no new material (this one auto-checks itself in the final 3 days), and sleep schedule adjusted. Three items tick themselves automatically from your data; two you tick yourself.
2. Exam logistics nudge — appears from 60 days out if your registration deadline is approaching or you haven't confirmed a test center yet. It links straight to the Exam Setup tab in Settings.
3. "Finish setting up" banner — shown right after onboarding until you dismiss it, with quick links to customize your subjects, edit tasks, and set your daily routine.
4. Revision Sprint nudge — appears once you're within 28 days of your exam, inviting you to switch into a tighter, weakness-weighted revision mode. This is part of StudyRise Pro.
5. Overload / burnout note — StudyRise watches your recent accuracy trend, SR compliance, and missed days. If it detects you might be overloading, a calm amber card from "your study coach" suggests easing off. Never guilt — just a nudge.

Always-on cards

Below the banners sit the cards that are there every day: your last 7 days, what's due, what's next, and the six numbers that summarize your whole prep. These answer the "where do I stand?" half of the Dashboard's job. Scan them in this order.

1. Consistency strip — "X of your last 7 days" with a row of colored dots: green = studied, blue = planned rest, gray = nothing logged, plus your current streak. A rest day is never shaded red — rest is a plan, not a failure.
2. SR due/overdue banner — if spaced-repetition (SR) reviews are waiting, a card lists up to three subjects with a button straight into the SR Module.
3. Today's task card — your next incomplete task: phase, task number, subject, and question target, with a Log Today button into your daily study session.
4. Six KPI tiles — tap-through numbers for plan tasks completed, SR compliance %, questions done in your question bank, mock average, consistency, and question deficit (how far behind your daily target you've fallen).
5. Question-bank first-pass progress — once you've set your question-pool size in Settings → Exam Setup, this ring tracks % complete, your daily pace, and whether you're on track to finish a first pass — and a second pass — before your exam.
6. Phase progress bars — three bars for Phase 1 (foundation), Phase 2 (system depth), and Phase 3 (mocks), each showing tasks done vs. total.
7. "Top 3 priorities today" — your next task, your daily MCQ target with today's progress, and your SR queue, each with a direct action button.
8. AI Study Advisor — a personalized study assessment and weekly plan generated from your actual logged data. This is part of StudyRise Pro.

The readiness column

The right-hand column is the forecast side of the Dashboard: not how busy you were, but whether it's adding up to a pass. Three of these widgets have confusingly similar names, so each gets one line here — the full distinction lives in readiness and projections.

1. Readiness Projection — a calibrated pass-probability forecast built from your logged mock scores, with a trend line, confidence band, and your margin above or below the pass line.
2. Go/No-Go card — a plain-English verdict on your final 35 days ("you clear the line with a solid margin" or "a short deferral would change the math"), with a mini sparkline and your top weak subjects. This is part of StudyRise Pro.
3. "Today's study compliance" ring — a composite 0–100 score of how much of today's plan, SR reviews, and question target you've actually completed, broken into sub-bars.
4. Phase rings — three small rings for an at-a-glance view of P1/P2/P3 completion.
5. Exam countdown — a big "days remaining" number with a progress bar showing how far through your prep window you are.
6. SR due today — a short list of exactly which subjects have spaced-repetition reviews due right now.

On your phone

On small screens the full desktop stack would mean a lot of scrolling, so the Dashboard collapses into two tabs instead. You get the same information, just split into "what do I do now?" and "how is it going?" — switch between them with one tap at the top of the screen.

1. Today — a compact hero card with your next task and quick stats. This is your morning tab.
2. Progress — the KPI tiles and analytics-flavored cards. This is your evening tab.
3. Check the Dashboard every time you open the app: in the morning to decide what matters today, and again before bed to see how the day landed.
