Error Book

A growing record of every question you've got wrong — your personal weakness map.

Why an error book matters
Practising what you already know wastes time. The error book is the opposite of a problem-of-the-day stream — it's a focused list of the questions you specifically missed.

Overview

Each entry stores the question text, your answer, the correct answer, and metadata (subject, topic, chapter) so you can filter later. Entries also remember their source — which test, DPP, mock series, or manual add put them there.

How entries get added

Entries appear automatically when:

  • You submit a wrong MCQ on a DPP.
  • You submit a wrong answer in a test or mock test.
  • An AI-graded question is marked partial / wrong.

You can also add a question yourself — see "Adding a question manually" below.

Browsing your error book

Open Dashboard → Error book. The list is paginated 20 entries at a time, newest first. Each card shows:

  • The question (LaTeX renders correctly).
  • Your answer and the correct answer side by side.
  • Subject / topic / chapter chips for filtering.
  • Source — e.g. "DPP", "Test #123", "Mock series JEE Main 2025", "Manual".
  • Revision status — Unrevised / Revised.

Filters

Use the filter bar to narrow by:

  • subject — e.g. Physics
  • topic — e.g. Rotational Motion
  • isRevised — show only unrevised, or only revised

Combine filters: e.g. "Physics + Rotational Motion + Unrevised" gives you exactly the open work for tonight's revision session.

Marking as revised

On any entry, click Mark as revised after you've re-attempted and understood the question. Revised entries stay in the book for reference but drop out of the default "Unrevised" view.

Adding your own note

The errorNote field is yours — write the misconception that caused the mistake (e.g. "I forgot to convert grams to kilograms"). When you next revise, scanning notes is faster than re-reading the explanation.

Adding a question manually

Got a wrong answer in a textbook or coaching test that's not on Tuition.in? Click Add manually and paste the question text. Required fields: questionText. Optional: subject, topic, chapter, errorNote. The entry gets source: "MANUAL".

No duplicate questions
If a question is already in your error book (matched by questionBankId or text), a duplicate add is rejected with a 409 response — the existing entry stays.
