Free Study Timetable Generator: Build Your Exam Plan in Minutes

StudyFromNotes

Tell the generator your subjects, how many topics are left in each, how many hours you can study each day, and when your exam is. It builds a balanced day-by-day timetable with study sessions, revision days, mock tests and rest days. Free forever, no account needed, nothing is uploaded anywhere.

Planning starts today and runs up to the day before your exam.
Be honest. A plan you can follow beats an ambitious one you abandon.

Tip: falling behind is normal. Do not rebuild the whole plan. Move missed topics into your next revision day and carry on.

How the study timetable generator works

Most study plans fail for one simple reason: they are built on hope instead of arithmetic. This generator starts from the numbers you actually have, your topics, your hours and your days, and turns them into a schedule that fits.

  1. Enter your subjects and topics left. Count chapters, modules or syllabus sections you have not finished yet, for each subject.
  2. Set your real daily hours. Include only focused study time, not time spent commuting, eating or scrolling.
  3. Reserve revision and mock days. The generator places revision days after you finish new topics, and mock tests right at the end, when they help most.
  4. Generate and print. You get a day-by-day plan with dates, subjects, topics and hours. Print it or save it as a PDF and stick it where you will see it.

Worked example: 4 subjects, 30 days, 4 hours a day

Suppose you have 30 days before your exams, 4 study hours a day, and four subjects with topics left: Maths (12), Physics (9), Chemistry (9) and English (6). You reserve 4 revision days and 2 mock days, with one rest day per week.

BlockDaysWhat happens
Study blockDay 1 to 2036 topics spread across 20 study days, roughly 2 topics a day, with harder subjects getting slightly more sessions
Rest daysDay 7, 14, 21, 28Full rest. No guilt, no catch-up.
Revision4 daysEach day revisits all four subjects: weak topics, formulas, flashcards and past paper questions
Mocks2 daysFull timed mock papers under exam conditions, then an error review

Notice the order matters. New topics first, then revision, then mocks. Doing a mock before you have covered the syllabus only tells you what you already know you have not studied.

Tips for actually sticking to your timetable

  • Plan tomorrow tonight. Decide the exact topics before you sleep, so you start studying instead of deciding.
  • Protect the first hour. Do the hardest subject in your first session of the day, when focus is highest.
  • Use revision days for repair, not new learning. If a topic keeps sliding, that is a signal you need help with it, not more hours alone with it.
  • Keep one buffer. If you finish a day early, bank the time. Do not pull tomorrow’s topics forward, or you will burn out by week two.
  • Track completion, not hours. A ticked-off topic list motivates more than a timesheet.

Frequently asked questions

Is the study timetable generator really free?

Yes, completely free, with no account, no email signup and no limits on how many timetables you generate.

Do I need to create an account?

No. Everything runs in your browser. Your subjects and plan are never sent to a server, so there is nothing to sign up for.

Can I print my timetable?

Yes. Click Print / Save as PDF and use your browser’s print dialog. The printed version is a clean one-page-friendly layout with just your plan.

How are topics distributed across days?

The generator calculates your total study hours, works out the average time per topic, and spreads each subject’s topics across your study days in proportion to how much is left. Subjects with more topics left automatically get more sessions.

What should I do if I fall behind?

Do not rebuild the plan from scratch. Move the missed topics into your next revision day, or swap them with a lower-priority topic later in the plan. A plan you adjust is a plan that survives.

Does it work for GCSEs, A-Levels, university exams and professional exams?

Yes. The generator does not care which exam you are preparing for. It works with any list of subjects and any exam date, from school exams to university semesters to professional qualifications like ACCA or CPA.
