How to use the Weekly Planner

Weekly study timetable 2025 A4 preview with days Monday to Sunday and hourly slots
  1. Block immovable stuff first — classes, commute, meals, sleep, sports. (Protect sleep: 7–8h.)
  2. Add 2–3 study cycles per subject — use 25/5 on heavy theory days, 50/10 for essays/projects.
  3. Theme your days — e.g., Mon–Chemistry, Tue–History, Wed–Maths, Thu–Languages, Fri–Catch-up.
  4. Buffers > burnout — leave at least 2× 30-minute buffers mid-afternoon/evening for spillover.
  5. Daily “Done” rule — highlight one hard win (past paper/quiz) to build momentum.

How to use the 6-Week Exam Countdown

Exam countdown 6-week planner with daily tick boxes and weekly focus goals
  1. Write the exam date + subject + target grade (top row).
  2. Set “Top 3” weekly focus goals — e.g., finish Ch.1–2 notes; 3× past-paper sections; flashcards for formulas.
  3. Daily ticks — tick a box if you complete one meaningful block (past paper / essay section / 3×25m Pomodoros).
  4. Review day — short weekly reset: what worked, what moves, where to get help.
  5. Protect rest — plan one lighter day to keep energy high.
