Readiness, projections, and Go/No-Go

All three widgets live in the right-hand column of your Dashboard. If you only remember one thing from this page: the ring measures effort, the projection measures trajectory, and Go/No-Go turns that trajectory into a decision.

Today's study compliance ring

The compliance ring is a composite 0–100 score of how much of your plan you've actually completed — present-tense effort, not a prediction. It combines your plan tasks, your spaced-repetition (SR) reviews, and your question target into one number, then shows the parts underneath as sub-bars.

1. Read the ring first: the closer to 100, the more of today's intended work is done.
2. Then check the sub-bars — plan completion, SR retention, questions, and mocks — to see which part is dragging the composite down.
3. Treat it as a daily discipline check. A high ring says you did the work; it says nothing about whether the work is landing. For that, look at the projection below.

The Readiness Projection

The Readiness Projection is a forecast: a calibrated pass-probability built from your logged mock scores. StudyRise fits a regression trend line — a line of best fit through your scores over time — and shows a confidence band around it, your pass line, and your margin above or below it.

1. Look at the trend line against the dashed pass line: are you converging on it, crossing it, or drifting away?
2. Read your margin — how far above or below the pass line the trend puts you — and the trend arrow, e.g. "Improving +2 pts/week".
3. Respect the confidence band: a wide band means the forecast is still uncertain. The projection needs several logged mocks before the trend means much — one mock is a data point, not a direction.

The Go/No-Go card

In your final 35 days, the Go/No-Go card translates the projection into a plain-English verdict — "you clear the line with a solid margin" or "a short deferral would change the math" — with a mini sparkline of your trend and your top weak subjects. This is part of StudyRise Pro.

1. Read the verdict sentence first. It's the projection restated as a decision, in words.
2. Glance at the sparkline — a tiny trend chart — to see whether recent mocks back the verdict up.
3. Use the top weak subjects list to decide where your remaining days go. If the verdict is marginal, those subjects are where the margin comes from.

What feeds these numbers

Every readiness number is computed from what you log — nothing else. StudyRise describes your data back to you; it can't see the studying you did but didn't record, and it can't correct for a recall you rated more kindly than you should have. Honest logging is what makes these numbers worth trusting.

1. Logged days — complete, partial, missed, or rest — feed your consistency and plan-completion inputs.
2. SR recall ratings — how you rate each spaced-repetition review — feed the SR retention sub-bar.
3. Question logs — sessions recorded via question logging — feed your question target and deficit.
4. Mock exams with per-subject breakdowns — the single biggest input into your projection. Log every mock, with the breakdown, as covered in the mock exams guide.
