Are your daily study targets realistic? This tool checks your plan against your exam date and remaining syllabus — so you're not setting yourself up to fail before you even start.
⏱ Takes about 2 minutes
The tool calculates how many actual study hours you have between today and your exam (accounting for off days and your weekly schedule). It then compares that against the syllabus hours you still need to cover, plus a recommended revision buffer. If the numbers work, your plan is feasible. If not, it tells you what needs to change.
Setting a target that's too ambitious feels motivating for about one day. Then you miss it. Then you feel behind. Then you panic. A realistic target you actually hit is infinitely more valuable than an impossible one that demoralises you by Day 3.
This tool helps you build a plan your future self can actually execute.
A rough method: count the number of chapters or major topics, estimate how long each takes to learn properly (usually 2–5 hours per topic depending on difficulty), and multiply. For a standard 4-subject exam, 60–120 total hours is typical for moderate preparation.
You have three levers: increase daily hours, reduce off days, or reduce the syllabus you're trying to cover. The last option — strategic prioritisation — is often the most realistic one when time is genuinely tight.
During exam prep, yes. Weekends can give you longer, uninterrupted study sessions. But don't plan every single hour — leave some flexibility. A weekend day planned as 8 hours of study often delivers 5–6 in reality.
At minimum, keep 2 days for revision. Ideally 4–5 days for a major exam. The tool adds a buffer recommendation automatically based on your exam timeline.
Run it separately for each exam. If exams are close together, plan backwards from the earlier one first and make sure you're not over-committing on the later one's time.
