The Review Today *page prompts you with topics that you are due to review (based on a spaced repetition framework). The objective is that you can use any active recall strategies to review topic specifics, and then track your review days and confidence in overarching topics here.
This is a tracking system, not a content management system, though you can certainly add the content to review to your topic pages in the* Topics database.
After each study session, adjust your overall Level as you see fit. Some rules of thumb:
Streak property is >1, increase by 2)</aside>

If you want to change the scale, you may also want to update the Days till next review formula to reflect your new scale - see automatic properties for more details.), and an optional link to review material (e.g. a link to an Anki flashcard set, or slides).
If you are hoping to use Notion exclusively, you could either take notes on all your topics within this database (Ali Abdaal has some great advice on using the ▷ Toggle block for notetaking; see his videos linked under Inspiration), or create a relation to another database containing your lecture notes.
unfortunately Notion does not yet support recursive formulas (circular dependencies) so automatically updating the level is not a simple procedure.

The Recall Confidence property will auto-populate (this is a backend property that I recommend hiding. It is used in the Topics database to calculate the most recent confidence and the confidence streak.)

(a) view the topics that are up for review (i.e. their Next Review Date property is on or before today)
(b) track your studying for the day (the study logs linked view is filtered to Date is today so all new entries you add on that page will automatically have the current date)
