# Study Recommendations

> How RangeSharp recommends what to study each day.

## Today's Focus

The **Today's Focus** card on your dashboard is your daily study guide. It combines two sources of recommendations:

1. **Spaced repetition cards due for review** — Spots where the scheduled review date has arrived
2. **AI-powered recommendations** — Spots that the system identifies as needing attention based on your overall performance data

## How recommendations work

The recommendation engine considers:

| Factor                         | How it's used                                                         |
| ------------------------------ | --------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Spaced repetition schedule** | Spots with due review dates are prioritized                           |
| **Mastery level**              | Lower-mastery spots get recommended more often                        |
| **Recent accuracy**            | Spots where accuracy has been declining get flagged                   |
| **Training recency**           | Spots you haven't trained in a long time are surfaced                 |
| **Leak data**                  | If leak detection identifies a pattern, related spots are recommended |

## Following recommendations

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the Home dashboard">
    The Today's Focus card is visible when you first log in.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Review the recommended spots">
    The card shows a list of spots with their mastery level and why they're recommended (e.g., "Due for review" or "Accuracy declining").
  </Step>

  <Step title="Start training">
    Click on a recommended spot to go to the Study workspace, then press **⌘T** to start training. Or create a study plan from the recommended spots and train them as a set.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Recommendations vs. your own study plans

Recommendations don't replace your study plans. Think of them as suggestions that complement your structured training:

* **Study plans** are for deliberate, organized practice sessions you've planned yourself
* **Today's Focus** catches spots that might fall through the cracks — ranges you haven't reviewed in a while or areas where your performance is slipping

## Tips

<Tip>
  **Start every session with Today's Focus.** Spend the first 5–10 minutes on recommended spots, then switch to your study plan for the rest of the session. This ensures your spaced repetition schedule stays on track.
</Tip>

* If the same spot keeps appearing in Today's Focus, it means you need more practice on it
* As your mastery levels increase, fewer spots will appear in the daily recommendations
* Check back throughout the day — new recommendations may appear as review dates come due
