Estimate your study requirements before exams. Enter the number of topics, the days until the exam and the hours you can study per day to get your total study time, the hours per topic and a recommended daily schedule.
Enter how many topics you need to cover, how many days are left until your exam, and how many hours you can realistically study each day. The calculator works out your total available study time, the hours to dedicate per topic and a suggested daily schedule.

A study time calculator breaks the run-up to an exam into a realistic plan — total hours available, time per topic, and a daily schedule that builds in revision without burning out.
The schedule reserves time for spaced review of earlier topics as well as covering new material.
Quality beats quantity. Most students study effectively for 2–4 focused hours per day; beyond that, retention drops. Take regular short breaks.
Use the per-topic figure as a baseline, then allocate more time to weaker or higher-weighted topics. Reserve time for active recall and past papers.
