Before you plan your study time, you need to know how much of it you have. This study schedule planner counts the days until your exam, the total hours you can put in, and how many hours each chapter or topic gets if you split them evenly.
How to make a study schedule for an exam
Enter your exam date
Pick the date of the exam. The planner counts the days from today.
Add your hours and topics
Set how many hours a day you can realistically study (it starts at 2) and how many topics or chapters the exam covers (it starts at 8).
Turn the numbers into a plan
You'll see the days left, your total study hours and the hours per topic. Put each topic on your calendar, and keep the last few days free for review and practice questions.
Worked example
What the planner shows for an exam two weeks out, and one way to use it.
- Days left
- 14 days until the exam
- Total study hours
- 14 days x 2 hours a day = 28 hours
- Hours per topic
- 28 hours / 8 chapters = 3.5 hours each if you split evenly
- A simple plan
- Cover about one chapter every day and a half for the first 12 days, then use the last 2 days to review everything and do practice questions.
How to build a study schedule that works
Splitting evenly is a starting point, not the plan. Give more time to the chapters you find hardest and the ones worth the most marks. Study in focused blocks, like 25 or 50 minute Pomodoros, with breaks.
Most important: don't study each chapter once and move on. Come back to earlier chapters every few days. Short reviews spread out over time beat one long session, and that's the idea behind spaced repetition. A simple pattern is to review a chapter the day after you study it, again a few days later, and again the week of the exam.
If you'd rather not plan reviews by hand, the full lezrn app schedules them for you, concept by concept, from what you've studied.
Frequently asked questions
How many hours a day should I study for an exam?
There's no single right number. Spreading it out matters more: a couple of focused hours a day over a few weeks usually beats cramming the night before. Use the planner to check your hours cover every topic.
How do I make a study schedule for finals?
Run the planner once per exam with its date, your daily hours and its number of topics. Then block out time per topic on a calendar and leave the last few days before each exam for review.
How far in advance should I start studying?
Earlier is better, because reviews spread over more days stick better. For a big exam, two to four weeks is a common rule of thumb.
Does it make a day by day calendar?
No. It gives you the days left, your total hours and the hours per topic. You turn those into a calendar yourself, which only takes a few minutes.
