Turn lectures into study notesWhy it beats cramming
Spaced, not crammed
Each topic comes back at expanding intervals, the review rhythm that actually moves it into long-term memory.
Built around your exam date
The whole plan works backward from the day that matters, so the pacing fits the time you have left.
Add to any calendar
Export an .ics file and drop the schedule straight into Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, or Outlook.
As many topics as you need
List your subjects and it spreads the initial study sessions across the weeks ahead.
A final review
The plan ends with a full pass the day before, so nothing is cold when you sit down for the exam.

FAQ
Study plan, answered
How does the study plan generator work?
Enter your exam date and your topics. It spreads an initial study session for each topic across the weeks ahead, schedules reviews at expanding intervals, and adds a final review, so you revise on a spaced-repetition rhythm.
What is spaced repetition?
Reviewing material at growing gaps, right before you would forget it. It moves facts into long-term memory far more efficiently than cramming the night before.
Can I add the plan to my calendar?
Yes. Download it as an .ics file and import it into Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, or Outlook.
Is it free?
Yes, there is no signup and it runs entirely in your browser.
What is spaced repetition?
Reviewing material at increasing intervals instead of all at once. The spacing effect is one of the most replicated findings in learning research.
How many hours a day should I plan?
Fewer than you think. A plan built on hours you will not actually do is the most common reason a revision schedule gets abandoned in week one.
What if I fall behind?
Regenerate with the days you have left rather than trying to catch up on the old plan. A realistic compressed plan beats an aspirational broken one.
Can I use it for several exams?
Yes. Add all the topics across subjects. Interleaving subjects across days tends to retain better than a week per subject.
Is my plan saved anywhere?
No. It is generated in your browser and nothing is stored. Print it or save the page if you want to keep it.
A free study plan generator built around spaced repetition. Enter your exam date and the topics you need to cover, and the material gets spread across the days you actually have, with review spaced out instead of crammed into the final week. Spacing the same total hours across several sessions is one of the most reliably replicated findings in learning research.

Common uses
What people use it for
Planning a term's revision
Work backwards from the exam date so the last week is review rather than panic.
Recovering from falling behind
Put in what is left and the real days you have. A compressed plan you can see beats a vague sense of dread.
Balancing several exams at once
Interleaving subjects across days tends to retain better than blocking one subject per week.
Pro tips
Get more out of it
- Spaced repetition beats massed practice for long-term retention. Reviewing across several days is more effective than the same total hours in one sitting.
- Be honest about the hours you actually have. A plan built on ten hours a day is a plan you will abandon in week one.
- Put the hardest topic in your best hours of the day, not in whatever slot is left over.
- Testing yourself is stronger than rereading. Close the notes and try to recall before you check.
- Leave the last few days for review only. New material that late tends to displace what you already knew.
- Schedule breaks in the plan. A rest day you planned is very different from a rest day you took by collapsing.
- Front-load the topics you understand least. Energy is highest early and those need the most passes.
- Build in a buffer day each week. Something will overrun and a plan with no slack breaks on contact.
- Study the same topic in two different places. Varying context is associated with better recall than always using one desk.
- Sleep is part of the plan. Consolidation happens overnight, so a late cram often costs more than it adds.
