Home / Tools / Exam countdown planner
Enter the date of your exam, the number of chapters you still have to cover and the hours you can study. You get the days left, the total study hours, how many chapters to finish each week and the day to start revising.
The last fifth of your study days is kept for revision. Check the date of your exam on the official notice of the board or university.
Days left = the number of days from today to your exam date. Study days = days left × study days each week ÷ 7, rounded to a whole day.
The last fifth of your study days is kept for revision. The days before that are for learning the chapters. Chapters each week = chapters ÷ the weeks that are left for learning, and hours for each chapter = learning days × study hours each day ÷ chapters.
Your dates and numbers stay in your browser. Nothing is uploaded or saved, so write down the plan if you want to keep it.
Use the date in the official notice or date sheet of your board or university. Dates can change, so check the notice again from time to time.
Revision helps you remember what you studied earlier. Many students find that the last weeks work best for solving past papers and mock tests, so the planner keeps a fifth of your study days for them.
Study the chapters with the most marks first, use the topic questions and chapter tests on this site, and keep the revision days. A shorter plan that you follow is better than a long plan that you do not.
