How to make a study schedule
- Enter each subject, its exam date, and roughly how many hours of study it needs. A harder or bigger exam deserves more hours.
- Set how many hours you can study on each day of the week, when you want to start, and how long each session should be.
- Your plan appears below, day by day. Check the summary for subjects that do not fit, then add the plan to your calendar or print it.
How the plan is built
Each day’s free time is split into sessions. Every session goes to the subject with the most work left per day remaining before its exam, so an exam that is close or still needs many hours gets priority, while later exams are not forgotten. Subjects are mixed within a day rather than crammed one at a time, and the day before each exam starts with a final review of that subject. The exam day itself is kept free for that subject.
Sessions are labelled to match how memory works: early sessions are for learning and note-taking, with regular review of earlier notes, then practice questions once most of the material is covered, and a final review at the end. Spreading study out like this (spaced practice) and testing yourself (retrieval practice) are two of the best-proven ways to remember more.
How many hours should I study for an exam?
It depends on the course and how well you know the material, but a common guide for college students is two to three hours of study per credit hour each week across the term, and 10 to 20 hours of focused review in the two weeks before a major exam. If the summary says a subject is short of time, add hours on some days, start earlier, or lower the hours for subjects you are more confident in.

Frequently asked questions
Can I change the plan once it is made?
Yes. Change any date, hours or daily time and the plan rebuilds instantly. Everything is saved in this browser automatically.
How do I add the plan to Google Calendar or Outlook?
Click “Add to calendar” to download an .ics file, then import it. In Google Calendar, go to Settings, Import & export. Outlook and Apple Calendar open .ics files directly.
What does the warning in the summary mean?
It means there are not enough study hours before that exam for the amount you entered. Add time, start earlier or reduce the hours needed.
Why is my last exam studied less at the start?
Exams that are far away get fewer sessions early on so that nearer exams are ready in time. They catch up once the earlier exams are over.
