Add an exam date and at least one topic to see the plan.
A free study planner for students, parents, and tutors. Enter the exam date, the topics you need to study, and how much time you have each day, and get a clear day-by-day plan that says what to work on and when. Mark a topic as harder so it gets more time, decide whether to include the weekend, and reserve one day for a general review before the exam. Runs entirely in your browser, no sign-up and nothing saved. Note: this is a smart time planner, not an AI tool that explains the material. Weekend is Saturday and Sunday.

When is this useful?
- A tutor planning a client's exam prepA private tutor splits a student's exam topics across the sessions and days before a test, weighting the topics the student finds hardest.
- A final examSplit every topic for a final exam across two or three weeks before the test, with more weight on the weaker topics.
- A classroom unit testBuild a plan for an end-of-unit test, with an hour a day and a few weekend evenings off.
- A quiz next weekSplit the material across seven days, with less time per day, and a final review the day before.
- A parent helping a childPut together a clear, printable plan with your child that can go up on the fridge door.
Examples
- French final exam, 14 daysFour topics (vocabulary, reading comprehension, grammar, writing) with 60 minutes a day and a review day at the end.
- Math test, one weekThree topics, one marked hard, 45 minutes a day. The hard topic gets more time.
- History quizTwo topics over five days, 30 minutes a day, weekend excluded.
Tips for a better result
- Start with the hardest topicHard topics stick better when you start with them, not when your focus is already fading.
- A general review dayLeave the day before the exam for a general review across every topic, not new material.
- Short breaksA five-minute break every 25 minutes helps you stay focused — there's a note for this tip in the printout.
- Sleep before the examA good night's sleep before the exam matters more than one extra hour of studying at 2am.
- Self-checkAfter each day, try explaining what you studied in your own words. If it doesn't come easily, mark that topic as harder in the plan.
How the tool splits the time
The tool takes the total available days from today (or your chosen start date) to the day before the exam, removes the weekend if you excluded it, and reserves the last day for review if you marked one. Each day's time is split between topics based on the difficulty you set: an easy topic gets one share, normal gets two, and hard gets three. The topic order also rotates from day to day, so the same topic isn't always first.
What to do on the review day
The review day is for a quick refresh, not new material. Go back over the key points in the harder topics, work through a few practice questions, and check your understanding of each topic. If there's material you didn't get to, it's better to understand it at a basic level than to cram it the last night.
Privacy
The plan is built entirely in your browser. The exam name, date, topics, and minutes are never sent to a server or saved. Refreshing the page resets the plan. Even the analytics only receive a generic outcome (e.g. "was used"), with no detail from your actual plan.
Frequently asked questions
What is a study planner for an exam?
A tool that splits the time until your exam between the topics you need to study, and shows you day by day what to study and for how long. You can print the plan or save it as a PDF.
Does the tool save my plan?
No. Everything is built in your browser only, with no saving and no sign-up. Refreshing the page resets it. If you want to keep it, print it, save it as a PDF, or copy it as text.
Does it send my data anywhere?
No. The exam name, date, and topics stay with you. Analytics never receives the content, only the fact that the tool was loaded or used.
How do I export to PDF?
Click "Print / save as PDF" and choose to save as a PDF file instead of printing, in the print dialog. Only the plan itself appears, not the rest of the site.
What if I'm running low on time and only have a few days?
The tool will show every day you have, even if it's just a few. If the time is really tight, a warning appears that the time may not be enough — consider adding minutes per day or reducing the number of topics.
Is this suitable for a private tutor?
Yes. Tutors can use it to plan a client's exam prep across sessions, weighting the topics the student finds hardest, exactly the same way a student would plan their own studying.
