Study Schedule Planner
Turn an exam date and the hours you actually have into a spaced revision plan: a first pass through each topic, then four revisits at widening intervals. Exports to your calendar, prints on one page, and tells you honestly when the plan is too thin to work.

🎓 Understand this tool
What it is
This turns an exam date and the hours you realistically have into a dated revision schedule that spaces each topic out rather than blocking it, and exports the result to your calendar.
How it works
Each topic gets a first pass and four revisits, placed at widening fractions of the time remaining. The first pass takes the larger share of the topic's time because learning something takes longer than recalling it; the reviews are shorter and get further apart as the exam approaches.
Getting the most from it
- Break the material into chunks you could actually sit down with. "Chapter 4" schedules well; "Biology" does not.
- Enter the hours you will genuinely study, not the hours you wish you would. The plan is only useful if you keep it.
- Read the warnings if any appear — they mean the plan is stretched too thin to work as designed, and cutting a topic beats pretending.
- Export to your calendar, because a schedule you never see again is a schedule you never follow.
Reading your result
Each day lists the topics due and how long to spend. A first pass is new material; a review is a deliberate revisit of something you have already met. The last review sits the day before the exam rather than on it.
What it can't tell you
It cannot know which topics are hard for you, how much you already know, or what the exam actually weights. It spaces evenly across the topics you enter, so if some matter more than others, plan those separately rather than trusting an even split.
Frequently asked questions
Why does the plan space things out instead of blocking them?
Because the same total hours produce better long-term retention when spread across sessions than when massed into one, which is among the most replicated findings in memory research. The plan simply makes spacing the default rather than something you have to remember to arrange.
What if I have only a few days?
The planner still spaces what it can, but it says plainly that spacing has less to offer over days than over weeks. With very little time, practising retrieval — closing the book and writing what you remember — holds up better than rereading, and that advice does not depend on having a long runway.
How many hours a week should I put in?
Enter what you will genuinely do rather than what you would like to. The tool warns above about forty hours a week because plans at that level describe intentions rather than behaviour, and a smaller schedule you actually keep beats an ambitious one you abandon in week one.
Can I put it in my calendar?
Yes — the export produces a standard .ics file that Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, and Outlook all import. The events are all-day with no alarms, deliberately: a reminder firing at an hour we chose is an interruption nobody asked us to schedule.

Reading time
How long will that assigned reading actually take? Enter pages, a word count, or paste the text, then pick how you are reading it — skimming, reading normally, studying for an exam, or learning it by heart. The answer comes back as an honest range.
Final grade
Work out exactly what you need on your final exam to finish with the grade you want. Enter your current grade, what the final is worth, and your target — the answer appears instantly, along with the arithmetic behind it and the best and worst grades still reachable.
Test ledger
Record what you expect to score before each practice test and what you actually scored after. The gap between the two is the real readiness signal — a rising score with a wide gap means you are still guessing, and this is the only tool that tracks it.
