Study Timetable Generator

Add your subjects, how hard they feel and your exam dates — get a balanced day-by-day study plan with breaks, revision days and exam countdowns, ready to tick off and print.

Class 5–12 Exam countdown Revision days Printable

To make a study timetable, list your subjects with how hard each feels and its exam date, then set your daily study hours. Time is shared by weight: difficulty × (1 + 3 ÷ (1 + days left ÷ 3)). A hard subject with its exam in 3 days scores 5, an easy one 30 days away about 1.3.

Time per subject

How the plan shares your hours — weighted by difficulty and how close each exam is.

Study tips that actually work

Small habits that make every study session count.

Test yourself

Close the book and write or say what you remember. Recalling beats re-reading.

Solve past papers

Practise previous years’ papers with a timer to learn the pattern and pace.

Hard subject first

Your mind is freshest in the first session — use it for the toughest topic.

Phone out of reach

Keep it in another room. Even a silent phone on the desk pulls your attention.

Real breaks

Stand up, stretch, drink water. Skip scrolling — it doesn’t rest your brain.

One-page summaries

Make a formula sheet or mind map per chapter for quick revision days.

Fix your mistakes

Keep a mistakes notebook and re-solve those questions before the exam.

Sleep is study

Teens need 8–10 hours. Memory is strengthened while you sleep — no all-nighters.

Plan smarter, not longer

How your study plan is built

The generator shares your available time fairly, gives tough subjects and near exams more sessions, and protects the day before every exam for revision.

Add subjects

Type each subject, choose how difficult it feels and add the exam date if you know it.

Set your time

Hours for school days and weekends, start times, session length and breaks.

Get the plan

See every day with times and a focus for each session, or switch to the weekly grid.

Tick, print, repeat

Tick off sessions as you finish them, regenerate for a fresh order, and print it for your desk.

Weighted, not equal

Each day, a subject’s share of sessions depends on its weight:

weight = difficulty × (1 + 3 ÷ (1 + days left ÷ 3))

Difficulty is 1 for easy, 1.5 for medium and 2 for hard. A hard subject with its exam 3 days away weighs 2 × 2.5 = 5, while an easy one 30 days away weighs about 1.3.

A revision day before every exam

The day before an exam is kept only for that subject: revise notes, solve a timed sample paper, check mistakes and go over formulas and diagrams. On an exam day you get a lighter plan for the next subject.

Mix subjects, space practice

Switching subjects between sessions (interleaving) and coming back to a topic after a gap (spaced practice) help you remember for longer. That is why the plan avoids the same subject twice in a row.

Breaks are part of the plan

Attention drops after 30–50 minutes of hard focus. A 5–15 minute break between sessions — water, a stretch, fresh air — helps you return sharper.

Make each session count: run every slot with the Focus Timer, and check your exam readiness with the Marks & Grade Calculator.
Questions & answers

Study Timetable Generator — your questions

How do I make a study timetable for Class 10 boards?

List all your subjects with their exam dates, mark the two or three that feel hardest, and set honest study hours for school days and weekends. The plan then gives harder subjects and nearer exams more sessions, keeps the day before each paper free for revision, and runs right up to your last exam.

How many hours a day should I study for board exams?

Quality matters more than the total. Four to five focused hours on a school day and six to seven on a weekend is a realistic target for most Class 10 and 12 students, split into sessions of 30 to 60 minutes with short breaks. Teenagers also need 8 to 10 hours of sleep, because memory is consolidated while you sleep.

Should I study one subject for a long time or switch between them?

Switch. Mixing subjects between sessions, called interleaving, and returning to a topic after a gap, called spaced practice, both help you remember for longer than a single long block on one chapter. This is why the generator avoids placing the same subject in two sessions in a row.

How long should a study session be, and how long a break?

Attention drops after about 30 to 50 minutes of hard focus, so pick a session length in that range — 25, 30, 45, 60 or 90 minutes are all available here. Follow it with a real break of 5 to 15 minutes: stand up, stretch, drink water. Scrolling on a phone does not rest your brain.

What should I do on the day before an exam?

Keep it for that subject only. Go through your own notes rather than the whole textbook, solve one timed sample paper, re-check the questions you got wrong earlier, and go over formulas and labelled diagrams. The plan reserves that day automatically and gives you a lighter load on an exam day itself.

How does the timetable decide which subject gets more time?

Each subject is given a weight of difficulty × (1 + 3 ÷ (1 + days left ÷ 3)), where difficulty is 1 for easy, 1.5 for medium and 2 for hard. A hard subject with its exam 3 days away weighs 2 × 2.5 = 5, while an easy subject 30 days away weighs about 1.3, so it gets fewer sessions today.

Can I make a timetable if I do not have my exam dates yet?

Yes. Leave the exam dates blank and choose a plan length of one, two, three or four weeks instead. You then get a balanced weekly routine based only on difficulty and your available hours, which you can regenerate for a different arrangement and print for your desk.
