How do I track which exam topics I’ve revised and how confident I am?
Open AnyTool Revision Tracker, add each subject (with an optional exam date), break it into topics, then RAG-rate every topic by confidence — Red (weak), Amber (okay) or Green (confident). Each time you revise a topic, tap “Revised”: it adds one to the revision count, stamps today’s date, and you set or raise its rating. A simple spaced-repetition heuristic schedules the next review further out the more confident and well-revised a topic is, and a single “Due for review” list surfaces what to revise now — weakest topics and soonest exams first. Overall progress shows the percentage of topics green plus a RAG breakdown, and everything is saved only in your browser’s localStorage with JSON export / import.
List subjects → topics; RAG-rate each topic Red / Amber / Green by confidence
Mark a topic revised → count +1, last-revised stamped today, set or raise the rating
Spaced-review heuristic: next review grows with confidence and revisions; a prioritised Due list

What is
Revision tracker (RAG topic tracker with spaced review)
A revision tracker is a study tool for recording which exam topics you have revised, how confident you feel about each, and what is due to be reviewed next. Topics are usually grouped under subjects and self-rated with a RAG (Red / Amber / Green) confidence scale — Red for weak, Amber for okay, Green for confident — so revision can be prioritised on the reds and ambers. Better trackers also count how many times each topic has been revised and when, and use spaced repetition (bringing material back at increasing intervals) so confident, well-revised topics resurface less often and weak ones come back quickly. This differs from a study planner (which schedules study time) and a flashcard app (which tests recall of cards): a revision tracker is about coverage and confidence across a syllabus, answering “what should I revise next, and how ready am I for the exam?”
RAG is a Red / Amber / Green self-rating: Red means weak, Amber means okay but needs more work, and Green means confident — so you revise the reds and ambers first.
RAG stands for Red, Amber, Green, the topic-tracker method teachers widely use for revision. You rate each topic by how confident you feel: Red means you’re weak and it needs the most work, Amber means it’s okay but not secure, and Green means you feel confident you could answer it in the exam. The tracker shows a breakdown bar and an overall percentage of topics that are green, so it’s instantly clear where your gaps are. Because RAG is your own honest self-assessment — and self-assessment is famously unreliable — you should only rate a topic green when you can actually recall it cold using active recall, not just after rereading it.
Marking a topic revised stamps today and bumps its count; the next-review gap grows with confidence and repetitions, and a topic is due when that date arrives, it’s red, or it’s never been revised.
Each time you mark a topic revised, the tool records today’s date and adds one to its revision count. The interval until the next review then grows with both your confidence and how many times you’ve revised: a Red topic comes back in about a day, Amber in a few days, and Green in a week or more, with each successful revision stretching the gap further (roughly a 1 / 3 / 7 / 14 / 30-day ladder). A topic appears in the Due-for-review list when its next-review date has arrived, when it’s rated Red, or when it has never been revised, and the list is ordered weakest-first and then by the soonest exam. This is a deliberately simple heuristic to prompt timely review — not Anki’s SM-2 or any validated spaced-repetition algorithm.
Yes. Every subject, topic, confidence rating and revision history is stored only in your browser’s localStorage and never uploaded — there is no account and no tracking.
AnyTool Revision Tracker is 100% client-side. Your subjects, topics, RAG ratings, revision counts and exam dates live only in this browser’s localStorage and are never sent to a server. There is no sign-up, no login and no analytics, and the due-for-review list, progress bars and exam countdowns are all computed locally on your device. It works offline once the page is cached. Because the data is tied to this browser, you can use Export JSON to keep a backup or move your revision plan to another browser or device, and clearing your browser data is the only thing that removes your history.
Neither — it tracks topic coverage and confidence across a syllabus and what’s due to review, rather than scheduling study time or testing recall of individual cards.
A study planner schedules when you’ll study, and a flashcard app (like Anki or Quizlet) tests recall of individual cards. The Revision Tracker is different: it’s a topic-level checklist for a whole syllabus, recording which topics you’ve revised, how confident you are (RAG), how many times and when, and which topics are due for review next. It’s the in-browser version of the RAG topic-trackers teachers hand out. It pairs best with active recall — testing yourself with past-paper questions or the blank-page method — and you use this tool to track coverage and confidence and decide what to revise next.
Detailed Explanation
⚙️Methodology
Subjects, Topics and the RAG Confidence Model
AnyTool Revision Tracker models exam revision as a list of subjects, each with an optional exam date, broken into topics. Every topic stores a RAG confidence self-rating (0 = unrated, 1 = Red/weak, 2 = Amber/okay, 3 = Green/confident), a count of how many times it has been revised, and the date it was last revised (YYYY-MM-DD, local time). This is the topic-tracker / RAG-rating method teachers hand out: you rate each topic by how confident you feel and prioritise revision on the reds and ambers. The tool draws a RAG breakdown bar per subject and overall, and reports the percentage of topics rated Green as a single mastery figure. It is deliberately distinct from a study planner (which schedules study time) and from a flashcard app (which tests recall of individual cards): the Revision Tracker is about coverage and confidence across a whole syllabus and answering “what should I revise next?”. All dates are read from the device clock and computed with plain local-time Date objects so there are no timezone surprises.

📖How It Works
Marking Revised, the Spaced-Review Heuristic and the Due List
Marking a topic revised increments its revision count, stamps the last-revised date to today from the device clock, and lets you set or raise its RAG rating in the same action. The next-review interval is then computed by a simple heuristic that grows with both confidence and the number of revisions: an unrated topic is due immediately, a Red topic returns in about a day, Amber in a few days, and Green in a week or more, with each successive revision indexing further along a per-confidence ladder (roughly 1 / 3 / 7 / 14 / 30 days, echoing common manual spaced-repetition schedules). A topic is considered due for review when it has never been revised, when it is rated Red, or when its computed next-review date is on or before today. The Due-for-review panel gathers every due topic across all subjects into one prioritised list, ordered weakest confidence first, then by the soonest exam date, then by how overdue it is — so the answer to “what should I revise right now?” is always at the top, each row carrying a one-tap Revised button and a quick RAG picker.
Mark revised → count +1, last-revised stamped today, set/raise the RAG rating
Next-review interval grows with confidence and revisions (Red ≈ 1 day, Green a week-plus)
A topic is due when never revised, rated Red, or its next-review date ≤ today
Due list spans all subjects, ordered weakest-first then soonest-exam then most-overdue
Everything runs locally in the browser with no account, server or tracking. Every subject, topic, RAG rating, revision count, last-revised date and exam date is stored only in the browser’s localStorage and is never uploaded, and the page works offline once cached. You can export all data to a JSON file as a backup or to move to another browser or device, and importing can either replace your current subjects or merge the imported ones alongside them, with validation on load and import. Honestly, this is a personal single-device tracker: there is no cloud sync between devices and no reminders or push notifications, so you keep a tab or bookmark and check the due list yourself; opening the tool in a different browser, on another device or in private/incognito mode starts fresh, and clearing browser data erases your history — which is why exporting a JSON backup regularly is recommended. Two honesty caveats matter: the spaced-review intervals are a simple heuristic to prompt timely review, not Anki’s SM-2 or any validated spaced-repetition algorithm; and the RAG rating is your own self-assessment, which research shows is unreliable, so the tool encourages active recall — testing yourself with past-paper questions or the blank-page method — and rating a topic green only when you can genuinely recall it cold rather than after merely rereading.
