Study Today, explained: let the Mock Centre decide your next 30 minutes
The problem it solves
Working bankers do not fail JAIIB for lack of material. They fail because on a Tuesday night with 40 minutes and a tired brain, the question "what should I do?" has no answer, so they re-read the chapter they already know, or scroll, or open a mock they are not ready for and feel worse. The Mock Centre removes the decision. Every time you open it, it has already looked at your data and picked.
Level 1 — the "Today:" line on the home screen
Inside the JAIIB Readiness card there is a highlighted line that starts with Today:.
This is not a random tip. The app checks a fixed list, in this order, and shows the first thing that is true:
Every recommendation shows two numbers: the minutes it takes and the effect on your score ("+2 readiness", "+3 on PPB", "unlocks prediction"). So when you have 25 minutes, you know exactly which 25 minutes to spend.
Level 2 — the three quick cards
- Smart Revision due — the same diary as guide 1, one tap away.
- Today's Daily 10 — a two-minute mixed set. It keeps your streak alive (the 🔥 number in the purple banner) and, as you will see below, it is also step 1 of the guided loop.
- Fix your weak spot — your single weakest module across all subjects, with its accuracy. Tap to open its units.
Level 3 — the Study Today page: Diagnose → Study → Prove it
Tap the Study Today tile (the first tile in the grid) or the "Guided mode" link under the Readiness card. This is for days when you want to be walked through, not just told.
The loop resets every morning. Do it daily for two weeks and you will have fourteen small, measured improvements in fourteen weak units — which is what "getting better" actually looks like, as opposed to feeling busy.
Level 4 — "Only 30 minutes today?"
At the bottom of the Subject Progress card. For the days when even the loop is too much: one tap builds a half hour — 10 minutes learn, 10 MCQs, 5 on mistakes, 5 of due revision — and ticks the blocks off. It is covered in guide 2.
Which one should I use?
| Your situation | Use |
|---|---|
| Normal day, 45–60 minutes | Do the Today: line, then one unit of new ground |
| You like being walked through | Study Today page, all three steps |
| Only half an hour | Only 30 minutes today? |
| Five minutes in a queue | Today's Daily 10 — keeps the streak |
| Weekend, two hours | A full mock in Exam mode, then follow the results screen (guide 5) |
Common questions
- The recommendation keeps saying "Revise your due questions". Is it stuck?
- No — you keep having 10+ questions due, so revision keeps winning. Clear them and the next priority appears. This is the app doing its job.
- Step 3 says it will unlock later. Why?
- It needs a weakest unit with at least 6 answered questions. After a few days of steps 1–2 there is enough data.
- Can I ignore the recommendation and do my own plan?
- Of course. Set your exam date in My Planner and you get a day-by-day schedule that adapts to your mock scores. The recommendation is the answer to "what now?"; the planner is the answer to "what this month?".
