How it works
Daily study time = total hours needed ÷ days remaining; per subject = daily time ÷ number of subjectsFrequently Asked Questions
How many hours should I study per day before an exam?
Divide your total estimated study hours by the days remaining: needing 40 hours of revision with 10 days left means 4 hours/day. Building in a rest day or two means concentrating that into fewer, slightly longer days.
How do I split study time across multiple subjects?
Divide your daily study time evenly across subjects as a starting point, then weight it by difficulty or how much material remains — spending equal time on a subject you've mastered versus one you're struggling with often isn't the best use of hours.
Is cramming effective?
Spaced repetition over multiple days consistently outperforms cramming for retention — starting your planner well before the exam and revisiting material on different days beats a single long session the night before.
