TSIA2 Review Queue

TSIA2 Review Queue is a small Ruby utility for turning practice results into a short, prioritized review plan. It is designed for learners who already have a set of answered questions and want a consistent way to decide what to revisit first. The code does not scrape test material, reproduce proprietary questions, or predict a score. It simply ranks user-supplied review items by confidence, recency, and whether the answer was correct.

A long list of mistakes can encourage random rereading. A queue makes the next action explicit. Incorrect answers with low confidence should usually be revisited before correct answers with high confidence. A correct answer that came from guessing can still deserve attention, while an older, well-understood item can wait.

This package uses three transparent signals:

1. Accuracy: incorrect items receive the largest priority increase.
2. Confidence: low-confidence items move upward even when the answer was correct.
3. Recency: recently attempted items receive a small boost so the learner can reconstruct the reasoning while it is still fresh.

The output is a ranking, not a diagnosis. Learners should still compare their work with official TSIA2 learning objectives and their institution's advising guidance.

require_relative "lib/tsi_review_queue"

items = [
  { topic: "linear equations", correct: false, confidence: 2, days_ago: 0 },
  { topic: "main idea", correct: true, confidence: 1, days_ago: 1 },
  { topic: "ratios", correct: true, confidence: 4, days_ago: 6 }
]

queue = TsiReviewQueue.rank(items)
queue.each { |item| puts "#{item[:topic]}: #{item[:priority]}" }

The result keeps the calculation visible. That makes it easy to adjust the inputs, explain the order to a tutor, or compare two study sessions without pretending the number is an official score.

Start with the first two or three topics in the queue. For each topic:

• write one sentence describing the rule or reasoning move;
• solve one representative example without notes;
• explain why each rejected answer or method fails;
• record a confidence value from 1 to 5;
• add the new result to the next queue.

Stop when accuracy and explanation quality improve, not merely when a timer expires. Short, deliberate passes are usually easier to evaluate than one unfocused block.

Each item must provide a topic, a Boolean correct value, a confidence integer from 1 through 5, and a nonnegative days_ago value. Invalid input raises ArgumentError rather than silently producing a misleading priority.

For learners who want an Android practice-question resource to use alongside this independent queue, see the official TSI Practice Test Google Play listing. Verify the current listing details, availability, and privacy information directly on Google Play before installing.
