Formula Used
This planner uses a simple mastery model and spaced intervals to create an actionable schedule.
1) Sessions needed
Gap = max(0, TargetMastery − CurrentMastery)
GainPerSession depends on difficulty and style
BaseSessions = ceil(Gap ÷ GainPerSession)
WeightedSessions = ceil(BaseSessions × (0.75 + 0.25×Importance))
2) Review spacing
Intervals (days) = 0, 1, 3, 7, 14, 21, 28, …
Adjusted = round(Interval × DifficultyFactor × StyleFactor)
Each session lands on the next selected study day
Workload is shifted to respect the daily minutes limit
This approach is practical for planning; actual learning varies by student and content.

Data-Driven Review Scheduling

This planner converts your topic list into dated actions using a mastery and spacing model. You enter exam date, start date, study weekdays, daily minutes, and a session size (for example 25 minutes). Each topic includes difficulty, current mastery, importance, and optional notes. The schedule assigns Learn and Review sessions so you approach a target mastery, such as 85%, by the exam date while keeping tasks timed.

Mastery Gap and Session Count

For each topic, the calculator estimates sessions from the mastery gap: Gap = max(0, Target − Current). It assumes a per‑session gain that varies by difficulty: Easy ≈ 12 points, Medium ≈ 9, Hard ≈ 6, with style nudging that gain slightly. Importance scales practice using a 0.5–5 factor, so a weight of 3 receives more repetitions than a weight of 1. High‑value syllabus areas dominate your calendar.

Spacing Logic Across Difficulty

Spacing uses increasing intervals in days: 0, 1, 3, 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42 and beyond. Difficulty adjusts spacing, so hard topics repeat sooner and easy topics can wait longer. Style refines it: Intensive tightens spacing for rapid consolidation, Spaced extends it for long‑term recall, and Balanced sits between for steady retention. Every session lands on the next study day, so off‑days are respected automatically.

Daily Capacity Balancing

To prevent overload, minutes are tracked per study date and compared to your daily cap. When a day exceeds the cap, sessions shift forward to the next selected study day, preserving order and spacing as much as possible. Session length adapts slightly: hard topics get longer blocks (about +20%), medium stays near your base size, and easy runs shorter (about −15%). Summary metrics—total sessions, total minutes, average minutes, and workload pressure—help you judge realism.

Exportable Plan for Accountability

The result table is designed for execution and accountability. Scan the date, topic, session type, minutes, and expected mastery, then add notes for errors, formulas, or mock‑test scores. Export to CSV for tracking in spreadsheets or to PDF for printing a daily checklist. Re-run weekly: update mastery after quizzes, raise importance for weak areas, and let the schedule re-balance reviews without manual rescheduling.

FAQs

Which plan style should I pick?

Choose Balanced for most learners. Use Intensive when the exam is close and you can study more often. Pick Spaced when you have several weeks and want longer gaps for stronger recall.

How should I estimate current mastery?

Use recent quizzes or practice sets. Convert accuracy to a percent, then adjust for confidence under time. If you score 14/20 reliably, enter 70%. Update weekly after new practice.

What does importance change?

Importance scales how many repetitions a topic receives. Higher values prioritize high‑yield chapters, weak areas, or heavily tested skills. Keep 1 for minor items and 3–5 for core sections.

Why do some sessions shift to later days?

The planner respects your daily minutes cap. If a day becomes overloaded, sessions move to the next chosen study day. This keeps the plan realistic while preserving the general spacing pattern.

Can I plan for multiple subjects together?

Yes. Add each subject area as a topic or group of topics. Use notes to label the subject and resources. If subjects have different exam dates, create separate plans for cleaner pacing.

How often should I rebuild the schedule?

Rebuild every 7–10 days or after major mock tests. Update mastery, tweak importance, and re-run. The exported table will reflect your latest strengths and focus areas.
