The Error Log keeps the mistake visible so it can be retried later.

Flashcards and personalised tasks pull the student back to the weak topic.
- 6
Progress updates when practice shows the topic is becoming stronger.
How StudyVector compares
| Option | Best for | Limit to watch |
|---|---|---|
| Generic AI chatbot | Explaining a broad idea or rephrasing a concept. | Usually does not know your exact board, live coverage, weak topics or saved mistakes. |
| Flashcard app | Fast recall of definitions, formulas and facts. | Recall alone does not show whether a student can earn marks in an exam answer. |
| Revision website | Reading notes and checking a topic explanation. | Many pages stop before the practice, feedback and retry loop. |
| Past-paper site | Seeing official question style and mark schemes. | Students still need a way to turn mistakes into topic-level repair tasks. |
