Study guides
Five short guides on how to work: what to do first with a module, when to be measuring yourself rather than learning, and what to do with everything you got wrong.
The guides
How to revise a module
A module is too big to revise by opening it and starting. This is the order that works: cover it once, find out where you actually are, then spend the rest of your time on the part that is costing you marks.
Practice mode vs exam mode
The two modes ask the same questions. The difference is when you find out, and that difference decides which one is useful on a given day.
Reading your mistakes
The mistakes list is the most valuable screen in the app and the one most people scroll past. It is not a record of failure; it is a to-do list that wrote itself.
Writing a written answer
Written questions are where most marks are lost, and almost none of that is because the student did not know the material. It is because of how the answer was laid out.
Using Coid well
Coid answers from your module's own books. Getting a good answer out of it is mostly about asking a question those books can actually answer — and then opening the page it gives you.
How to use these
They are about method, not medicine. Nothing in them teaches clinical content — they are about how to work: what to cover first, when to stop learning and start measuring, how long to spend on a wrong answer and when to come back to it.
So none of them replaces your course, your lectures or your department's teaching. They sit underneath all of that, and they are useful in the same way that knowing how to revise is useful whatever you are revising.
Read one, do it for a week, and keep what worked. They are short on purpose: a study method you have to study is not a study method.
