A simple SSC CGL revision system for people who forget what they studied

Most aspirants remember a chapter on the day they finish it and feel blank two weeks later. That is normal. The fix is not to repeat the entire chapter every Sunday. It is to revisit small pieces before they disappear.

Keep each study day split into three jobs: learn one new thing, retrieve one old thing, and repair one recent mistake. This is small enough to repeat even on a busy day.

After learning a topic, revisit it the next day, then around day three, day seven, and day fourteen. A revisit does not mean rewatching a lecture. Start by recalling formulas, rules, or steps from a blank page; then use five to ten questions to reveal what is missing.

If a topic fails the revisit, place it in repair. If it passes twice in a row, reduce how often you revisit it. Revision should respond to evidence, not guilt.

‘Revise Arithmetic’ is too large to begin. ‘Revise ratio-proportion mixtures: 8 questions, 20 minutes’ is a usable unit. Small units make it obvious whether you did the work and make it easier to fit revision around new learning.

A topic should return to revision because fresh questions show a gap, not because a calendar says you have failed. Mark the question type, the reason it went wrong, and the next revisit date. That turns revision into a living list instead of an overwhelming backlog.
