How to use this calculator

  • Enter the total number of exam topics.
  • Enter how many topics are already reviewed.
  • Add days remaining until the exam.
  • Enter the estimated minutes needed per topic.

What the result means

The result shows the daily revision pace required to finish before the exam. A high daily topic count means the student should prioritize weak or high-value topics first.

Topics per day = remaining topics ÷ days until exam. Daily revision time = topics per day × minutes per topic.

Difficult topics may require more time than the average minutes entered. Add a review buffer before the final exam day.

Example calculation

If 40 topics are required, 12 are reviewed, and 14 days remain, the student needs 2 topics per day. At 25 minutes per topic, that is about 50 minutes daily.

Tips for better results

  • Review weak topics before already-mastered topics.
  • Leave the final day for mixed practice and error review.
  • Use short daily revision blocks for better retention.
