How to make a study plan with this generator

- Pick the date you start studying and the date of your exam.
- Choose how many hours you can study per day and one rest day a week.
- Press Generate plan. Check the table and change any input to rebuild it.
- Print it or save it as a PDF, and stick it where you study.
How the plan is built
The generator follows the method in our guide how to make a study plan for exams. Your study days are split into three phases:
- Learn (first ~60% of days): cover each subject’s syllabus for the first time. For every block an easy subject gets, a medium subject gets two and a hard subject gets three.
- Review (next ~20%): come back to every subject at least once. Spaced review is what moves material into long-term memory.
- Test (final ~20%): past papers and self-testing without notes. A study by Roediger and Karpicke (2006) found students who practised recalling a text remembered 61% of it a week later, against 40% for students who reread it.
Subjects are rotated so most days mix two or more. Each block is about one hour; take a 5–10 minute break between blocks, or use the Pomodoro timer.
Tips for sticking to the plan
- Start each block by writing what you remember from last time, then open your notes.
- If you miss a day, do not double the next day. Move the missed block to your rest day or drop the least important topic.
- Check the plan every Sunday and rebuild it if your exam date or hours change.
FAQ
How does the study plan generator work?
It counts the study days between today and your exam (skipping your rest day), splits them into three phases (learn, review, test), and fills each day with study blocks. Harder subjects get more blocks, and subjects rotate so you mix two or more per day.
Why does the plan end with practice tests?
Research on learning found practice testing and spreading study over time are the two most effective techniques for long-term memory (Dunlosky et al., 2013). The last phase of the plan is mainly self-testing and past papers for that reason.
Can I print or save my study plan?
Yes. Use the Print button to print or save as PDF. Your inputs are remembered on this device, so the plan is still here when you come back.
How many hours should I study per day?
Choose what you can keep up every day, not your best day. For most students that is 2–4 hours on school or college days and 5–6 in the final weeks before exams.
Is there an app version?
Yes. In the ClassTrack app, the AI can build a topic-by-topic study plan from a goal and deadline, and remind you each day. Two AI plans are free.
