About Revision Schedule Calculator

Total available hours are days times hours per day; dividing by topic count gives the time each topic can get, and dividing again by a 30 minute pass shows how many complete sweeps fit. Most revision plans allocate one pass when the evidence favours several shorter ones, so knowing how many passes the calendar allows changes how you plan.

Formulas

Available time

total hours = days until exam x revision hours per day

Per topic

minutes per topic = total hours x 60 / number of topics

Assumptions and limits

  • The result is derived only from the 3 inputs listed above. Anything not among them is not part of the calculation.
  • In particular, this calculator does not take inflation, tax, fees or charges or compounding frequency into account.
  • Figures are rounded for display to 2 decimal places, so totals built from several rounded parts can differ slightly from the unrounded arithmetic.

How these calculators are built and tested is described on the Methodology page. If a figure looks wrong, please report it.
