Why a mistake notebook works

Your wrong answers are the only data that show exactly where your knowledge has gaps. A mistake notebook collects them, and spaced-repetition review — revisiting on day 1, 3, 7, and 14 — locks the fix into long-term memory before you forget it again.

How to use this template

  1. 1

    Print the template, or save it as a PDF, and keep a stack next to your desk.

  2. 2

    For each problem you got wrong, write the problem, your answer, the correct answer, and — most importantly — why you got it wrong.

  3. 3

    Note the one key concept you need to remember for next time.

  4. 4

    Tick the review boxes as you revisit on day 1, 3, 7, and 14 to beat the forgetting curve.
