Free revision timetable generator
Add your subjects, how confident you feel in each and your exam dates. The generator builds a day-by-day plan up to your last exam, mixing subjects, putting extra time on weak spots and switching to past papers as each exam gets close.
1. Your subjects
Add the exam date if you know it. Weaker subjects and nearer exams get more sessions.
2. Your week
How many revision sessions can you do on each day? Leave school days light.
Why this timetable works
The plan is built on three well-tested study habits. Spaced practice: each subject comes back every few days instead of being crammed into one week. Interleaving: subjects are mixed within a day, which feels harder but leads to better recall in the exam. Retrieval practice: sessions are about answering questions from memory, not re-reading notes.
It also puts the effort where the marks are. A subject you rate 'Needs work' gets three times the sessions of one you rate 'Strong', and every subject ramps up in the four weeks before its paper.
Getting the most out of it
- ✓ Be honest with the confidence ratings: the plan is only as good as the information you give it.
- ✓ Use the first five minutes of each session to answer questions on last session's topic without notes.
- ✓ If you miss a day, don't rebuild the whole plan; move on to today's sessions.
- ✓ Re-run the generator every few weeks as subjects get stronger, and update the ratings.
FAQs
How does the revision timetable generator decide what to study?＋
Each subject gets a share of sessions based on how confident you are (weaker subjects get up to three times as many) and how close its exam is. The same subject never fills two sessions in a row, so topics are mixed, and the day before each exam opens with a final review of that subject.
How many revision sessions should I do a day?＋
Most students manage two to three focused sessions on a school day and four to six at weekends or in study leave. Short, regular sessions with breaks beat one long cram, so start lighter than you think and add sessions if you finish them all.
What should I do in each session?＋
Early on, sessions alternate between learning and recalling, practice questions and mixed recall quizzes. In the last two weeks before a paper, they switch to timed past papers, followed by a session to mark the paper and fix the mistakes.
Can I print it or put it on my phone?＋
Yes. 'Print / save as PDF' prints the whole plan, and 'Add to my calendar' downloads a calendar file with each day's sessions and your exams, for Google Calendar, Outlook or an iPhone.
Is my plan saved?＋
