Study Schedule Calculator

How many days does the tool count?

The number of calendar days between today and the exam date, measured from midnight to midnight in your local time, with a minimum of 1. If the exam date is left blank, it assumes 14 days. An exam today or in the past also counts as 1 day, so check the date.

How is the revision period chosen?

It reserves 20% of the days, rounded to the nearest whole day and never fewer than 1. Revision days are excluded from active study hours. For 14 days that is 3 revision days and 11 study days. This is a fixed rule in the tool, not something derived from your subjects.

What do the hard, medium and easy percentages do?

Each percentage is applied to the active study hours (study days × hours per day). With 33.0 active hours and weights of 30, 45 and 25, hard topics get 9.9 hours, medium 14.8 and easy 8.3. The numbers are not forced to total 100.

What if my weights do not add up to 100%?

The hours are allocated as typed, so they may add up to less or more than the active total. The “Weights total” row tells you the sum and how many hours are actually allocated. With 50, 30 and 10 (total 90%), only 14.4 of 16.0 active hours are allocated.

Why does “hours per topic” ignore difficulty?

It is just active study hours divided equally by the number of topics. The hard, medium and easy rows are separate pools; the tool does not know how many of your topics belong to each group, so it cannot split them per topic.

Does it make a day-by-day timetable?

No. It gives totals and pools of hours. You decide which topic goes on which day.

What happens with blank or tiny inputs?

A value of 0 for hours per day, which is also what a cleared box becomes, counts as 3, and anything between 0 and 0.5 is raised to 0.5. A number of topics of 0 counts as 5.
