What the result means

The result tests whether your goal is realistic within the time remaining and required daily study load.

Score gap = target score − current score. Required study hours = score gap ÷ estimated score gain per hour.

Score gain per hour is an estimate. Use past study data or teacher feedback for a better value.

Example calculation

A score gap of 18 points at 0.4 points per hour requires about 45 study hours, or 1.5 hours per day for 30 days.

Tips for better results

  • Use short daily sessions instead of cramming.
  • Track score gain from practice tests.
  • Spend more time on weak topics.
  • Add review days before the exam.
