Study timetable maker

How this study timetable works

The plan follows the two study methods with the strongest research behind them: spacing your revision out over days instead of cramming, and testing yourself instead of rereading. A 2013 review of ten study techniques by John Dunlosky and colleagues rated these two as the most useful (Association for Psychological Science).

• Learn days cover topics for the first time, mixing subjects so each one comes back every few days.
• Test days are for flashcards, practice questions and writing down everything you remember.
• Papers days are for timed past papers and fixing the mistakes you find.
• Review days at the end stay light: summary notes, your mistake list and sleep.
• Buffer days catch the sessions you miss, so one bad day does not break the plan.

Questions about the study timetable maker

Is this study timetable maker free?

Yes. It is free, needs no account and has no ads. Your subjects and settings are saved only in your own browser, and they are never sent to us.

How do I make a study timetable for exams?

Count the days until your first exam, list your subjects, and be honest about how many hours you can study on school days and free days. Spend the first part learning topics, the middle part testing yourself, then do timed past papers, and keep the last few days light. This tool does that split for you.

How many hours a day should I study?

There is no single right number. It depends on your age, your exams and what else you have to do. A plan you can keep every day beats a long plan you drop after a week, so start with the hours you really have and add more only if it holds.

Why does the timetable give weak subjects more sessions?

Subjects you mark as weak get more sessions, up to about three times as many as strong ones, and okay subjects up to about twice as many. The tool also avoids putting the same subject twice in one day, so with long study days the gap gets smaller. You can change how confident you feel and make a new timetable at any time.

What is a buffer day?

A buffer day is one day a week with nothing new planned. Use it to catch up on sessions you missed, or rest if you are on track. It stops one bad day from breaking the whole plan.

Can I print or save my study timetable?

Yes. Print it, copy it as text into your notes or a message, or download it as a CSV file that opens in Excel, Google Sheets or Numbers.
