Study schedule maker
Tell it when your test is and what's on it. You get a short plan for every day until then, built on spaced practice, the study method with the strongest research behind it.
How it works
Cramming feels productive but fades fast. Studies on memory keep finding that spreading practice over several days and testing yourself beats rereading notes the night before.
So the plan introduces each topic once, then brings it back for a quick review one, three and seven days later when there's time before the test. The last day is a practice test on everything, then review of only what you missed.
Download it as a calendar file and it opens in Google Calendar, Apple Calendar or Outlook, one event per day.

How many days before a test should I start studying?
About a week is a good default for a unit test, and two to three weeks for a midterm or final. Even three or four short sessions beat one long one.
How long should I study each day?
For most tests, 20 to 45 focused minutes a day works well. Short, regular sessions are easier to stick with and remember better.
What's the best way to review?
Quiz yourself instead of rereading: flashcards, practice problems, or explaining a topic out loud without notes. Rereading feels familiar, which tricks you into thinking you know it.
