Free study planner: an exam countdown schedule in seconds
Tell the planner when your exam is, what topics it covers and how many hours a day you can study. It spreads the topics over the days you have, schedules spaced reviews of each one, and keeps the last days for mixed revision. Print the plan or download it to your calendar.

How the plan is built
New topics come first, spread evenly over the days before your final revision period. Each topic then comes back for a short review about 1, 3 and 7 days after you learn it, while there's time before the exam. The last part of the plan (up to a week, depending on how long you have) is mixed revision and practice questions across all topics.
The plan splits each day's hours between new learning and reviews, so a day that has reviews due has a little less new material.
Making the plan work
Treat review sessions as self-testing: practice questions, flashcards or writing out what you remember. If you fall behind, don't skip reviews to catch up on new topics; move the plan forward instead. Put the hardest topics earlier so they get more reviews.
Questions
How many hours a day should I study for an exam?
It depends on the exam and your other commitments. Steady daily sessions with breaks usually work better than a few very long days. Set a number you can keep up and let the planner spread the work.
What if I have more topics than days?
The planner puts more than one new topic on some days. If that's too much, start earlier or increase your daily hours.
Can I print the study plan?
Yes. Press Print plan and only the plan is printed. You can also download a calendar file.
Is my plan saved?
Your inputs are kept in this browser so the plan is there when you return. Nothing is sent to a server.
