Example Data Table

This sample shows the kind of inputs the tracker is designed to process across several exams.

Exam Date Time Duration Prepared Hours Required Hours Completed Topics Total Topics Confidence Importance
Physics Final 2026-04-10 09:00 180 min 22 34 9 14 72% 5
Organic Chemistry 2026-04-13 13:30 120 min 16 28 7 11 68% 4

Formula Used

Coverage %
Coverage % = (Completed Topics ÷ Total Topics) × 100
Preparation %
Preparation % = (Prepared Hours ÷ Required Hours) × 100
Readiness Score
Readiness = 0.45 × Preparation % + 0.30 × Coverage % + 0.25 × Confidence %
Adjusted Remaining Hours
Adjusted Remaining Hours = max(Required Hours − Prepared Hours, 0) × (100 ÷ Study Efficiency %)
Daily Study Need
Hours per Day Needed = Adjusted Remaining Hours ÷ max(Days Left − Buffer Days, 1)
Urgency Score
Urgency = min(100, (Hours per Day Needed ÷ Daily Study Hours Available) × 100)
Priority Score
Priority = 0.45 × (100 − Readiness) + 0.35 × Urgency + 0.20 × (Importance × 20)

Importance is entered on a 1 to 5 scale. Confidence is entered on a 0 to 100 scale. Buffer days reserve time for rest, travel, or final revision.

FAQs

1. What does the readiness score represent?

It blends revision hours, topic completion, and confidence into one percentage. Higher readiness suggests stronger preparation and less immediate pressure.

2. Why is an exam marked at risk?

An exam becomes at risk when required daily study time exceeds your available hours or when remaining preparation hours create negative schedule slack.

3. What is schedule slack?

Slack is the difference between total available study hours before the exam and the adjusted hours still needed. Negative slack signals shortage.

4. How are conflict alerts detected?

The tracker checks for overlapping exam times and for back-to-back exams with a smaller gap than your minimum safe gap setting.

5. Should I increase study efficiency above 100%?

Only if your study process is unusually focused and productive. Higher efficiency reduces adjusted remaining hours, so keep the value realistic.

6. Can I use this for quizzes and coursework deadlines?

Yes. Enter each assessment as an exam row. The tracker works for finals, quizzes, oral exams, labs, and timed coursework milestones.

7. Why are buffer days important?

Buffer days protect time for rest, travel, last-minute review, or unexpected delays. They make the plan stricter and usually more realistic.

8. When should I trust the priority score most?

Use it when several exams compete for attention. It balances readiness, urgency, and importance, helping you rank what needs focus first.
