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. Getting-started guide — a short checklist of first setup steps shown after onboarding (customize your subjects, log your first study, and so on). Each step ticks itself off automatically as you do it, and the whole card retires once you've finished — or you can dismiss it.
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.
