1. Start with your exam dates
List each subject and its exam date. Subjects with earlier exams have less time available, so they may need to appear sooner and more often in your plan.
2. Rate your confidence
Give weaker subjects more time instead of dividing every hour equally. A subject you already know well may need maintenance sessions; a weak or high-priority subject may need longer or more frequent sessions.
3. Decide when you can actually study
Mark the days you are available before assigning sessions. A timetable that assumes seven perfect study days every week is usually less useful than one built around your real commitments.
4. Choose manageable session lengths
Use session lengths you can repeat consistently and include breaks. The exact length can vary by person and subject; the important part is creating a plan you can realistically follow.
5. Rebalance as exams get closer
Your timetable does not have to stay fixed. Move time toward approaching exams, difficult topics and subjects where practice shows you still have gaps.

Our Revision Timetable Maker uses exam dates, confidence, priority, available study days and weekly hours to produce a suggested schedule. You can also use the Study Hours Calculator first if you want to work out a realistic workload.
