🗓️ Exam study planner
Enter your exams and how many hours a day you can study. Get a day-by-day plan that gives harder and sooner exams more time — and tells you what to do each day.
How to plan for finals
Start one to two weeks before your first exam. Short daily sessions spread over many days beat long sessions at the end — that is the spacing effect, one of the best-supported findings about learning. Spend most of your time testing yourself (practice problems, flashcards, old exams) rather than rereading, and protect your sleep: memories are consolidated while you sleep.
Questions & answers
- How does the planner divide my time?
- Each day, your study hours are shared among the exams still ahead. Harder exams and exams coming sooner get more time, and the day before an exam focuses mostly on that exam.
- What does each block mean?
- Each block says what kind of studying fits that stage: going through the material when the exam is far, flashcards and summary sheets about a week out, practice problems and self-testing in the last days, and a practice test and review the day before.
- Can I take a day off?
- Yes. Choose a weekly day off and the planner leaves it free. Rest helps you keep going through finals.
- Is my plan saved?
- Yes, in this browser only. Print it to keep it on your desk.
