• Real-time weighted mastery calculation
• Visual progress indicators

📚 Smart Rewatch Planner

• AI-powered lesson prioritization based on:
  • Your current domain mastery levels
  • Lesson recency (when you last watched)
  • Domain weakness (areas you need to improve)
  • Exam weight (domain importance)
  • Focus bonus (extra points for lessons in your weakest domain)

⏰ Exam Management

• Set your exam date and track countdown
• Switch between SAA-C03 and DVA-C02 exam tracks
• Domain-specific question distribution recommendations

How to Use

Getting Started

1. Set Your Exam Date: Click “Edit” in the Exam Countdown section
2. Adjust Domain Mastery: Use the sliders in the Domain Board to reflect your current knowledge
3. Review Lessons: The Rewatch Planner will automatically prioritize lessons based on your needs
4. Track Progress: Monitor your overall mastery and domain-specific progress

Domain Board

The Domain Board shows the four main AWS domains for your selected exam:

• SAA-C03: Design Secure, Resilient, High-Performing, and Cost-Optimized Architectures
• DVA-C02: Development, Security, Deployment, and Troubleshooting

Each domain has:

• Weight: How much it contributes to the exam
• Mastery Slider: Adjust from 0-100% based on your knowledge
• Real-time Updates: Changes immediately affect lesson prioritization

Rewatch Planner

The Rewatch Planner intelligently ranks lessons based on:

• Impact Score: Base importance of the lesson
• Recency Boost: Lessons you haven’t watched recently get priority
• Domain Weakness: Lessons in your weakest domains get higher scores
• Exam Weight: Domains with higher exam weight get priority
• Focus Bonus: Extra points for lessons in your current focus domain

Domain Percentages

Each lesson shows which domains it covers and the percentage breakdown:

• Single Domain: “Design Secure Architectures 100%”
• Multi-Domain: “Design Secure Architectures 62% • Design Cost-Optimized Architectures 38%”

Technical Details

Architecture

• Frontend: React 18 with functional components and hooks
• Styling: Tailwind CSS with custom dark theme
