SketchMath Mistakes Log: Turn Every Wrong Answer Into a Revision Plan
Every question you've ever scored below full marks on, automatically collected into one revision list.
Most DSE revision time is wasted redoing questions you already know how to solve, while the handful of questions actually costing you marks quietly get skipped. The Mistakes Log fixes that by building your revision list for you, automatically, out of what you have actually gotten wrong — not what you assume you are weak at.
What the Mistakes Log Tracks
Every time you score below full marks on an assignment question, it is flagged and added to your Mistakes Log automatically. There is nothing to bookmark or save yourself — the log builds itself as you work through assignments across every class you are in.
“Still Incorrect” vs “Later Corrected”
Once a question is flagged, it stays in your log even after you fix it. Redo it correctly and it moves from Still Incorrect to Later Corrected instead of disappearing, so you end up with an honest record of everything you have had to work through — not just the questions you happen to be stuck on right now. A filter at the top of the page lets you switch between Still Incorrect, Later Corrected, and All Questions depending on what you want to review.
What You See on Each Entry
- The original question text, exactly as it was assigned.
- Your score and the AI feedback you received on that attempt.
- The markscheme, if your teacher has released answers for that assignment.
- A Redo button that takes you straight back into the question to try again.
Why This Matters for DSE Revision
Examiners see the same mistakes repeated year after year — a dropped Method mark, a mislabeled diagram, a skipped reason in a deductive geometry proof. Revising from a log of your own actual mistakes, instead of re-reading notes or redoing questions you already have mastered, is the same principle behind spaced repetition: the fastest way to raise a grade is to close the specific gaps you have, not to spread study time evenly across everything.
FAQ
What counts as a “mistake” in the Mistakes Log?
Any assignment question you have scored below full marks on, across every class and assignment. It is flagged automatically the first time it happens.
If I redo a question and get it right, does it disappear?
No — it moves to Later Corrected instead of vanishing, so you keep a record of every question you have had to fix.
Does it cover just one class, or everything?
Every assignment across every class you are enrolled in, combined into one list.
Can I see the markscheme for a question in my log?
Only if your teacher has released answers for that assignment. When they have, it is shown alongside your AI feedback.
