Study Hours Planner

For CBSE/State board exams, most toppers study 6–10 hours per day in the last 2 months before exams. Quality matters more than quantity. Focus, active recall (testing yourself), and spaced repetition are more effective than passive reading. This planner helps you identify how many hours are actually needed given your specific subjects and chapters.

Ideally yes, especially for difficult subjects. Spaced repetition research shows that reviewing material across multiple short sessions is more effective than one long session. However, if your daily total is high, you can alternate difficult subjects across days while reviewing easy ones daily.

With very few days remaining, focus only on the most important topics — high-weightage chapters that are more likely to appear in the exam. Use previous year question papers to identify the most frequently tested topics and prioritize those.

Add 20–25% extra to each subject's chapter count to account for revision rounds. For example, if a subject has 10 chapters, enter 12–13 chapters to include time for one full revision cycle before the exam.

For subjects like Organic Chemistry or Advanced Mathematics, 2 hours per chapter is a minimum estimate for a first pass understanding. Problem-solving subjects may need 3–4 hours per chapter if you are starting from scratch. Adjust the difficulty factor mentally based on your current preparation level.
