About the study timetable generator
What is a study timetable generator?
A study timetable generator turns your subjects and your free time into a weekly plan. Instead of deciding each evening what to revise, you follow a schedule that already covers every subject and fits the time you have. Students who study to a timetable tend to cover more subjects evenly and avoid the last-minute panic that comes from neglecting one until the exam is close.
This free study timetable generator lets you list your subjects and the hours per week each needs, add your free time by ticking days and setting from and to times, and choose a session length and a break. It then builds a weekly timetable and tells you whether everything fits. Print it, download CSV or export it to your calendar. It runs in your browser with no account.
How to generate your timetable
- List your subjects and the hours per week each should get. Give more to difficult subjects or those with exams soon.
- Add your free time: tick the days and set a from and to time. Add more than one set if your days differ.
- Choose a session length and a break between sessions.
- Read the message about whether everything fits.
- Print the timetable, download CSV or export it to your calendar.
Setting realistic study hours
Add up your free time honestly. Subtract time for meals, exercise, travel and rest. If the timetable shows that everything does not fit, you have three choices: reduce the hours for some subjects, increase your available time or prioritise. Planning more study than you can do is worse than planning a little less and keeping to it.
Focus gets harder after long sessions. Many students find forty-five to sixty minutes of work followed by a short break is sustainable. The session length and break settings let you experiment and adjust.
Study techniques to put in the slots
- Active recall: close your notes and write down everything you remember, then check.
- Spaced practice: return to each topic several times over weeks rather than once.
- Past papers: practise under timed conditions as exams approach.
- Mixing subjects: alternate subjects within a day to keep concentration up.
- Review: spend the end of each week revisiting the toughest topics.
Planning around exams
Work backwards from the exam dates. Give extra hours to subjects with early exams, and plan the last week for revision and practice rather than new material. Mark your exam dates using the monthly planner, break each subject into topics using the goal planner and use the 90-day planner if you are preparing for a term or a big test.
Looking after yourself
A timetable should include rest. Leave at least one free evening and part of the weekend, and keep regular sleep and meal times. Exercise and short breaks help concentration. If you feel overwhelmed, talk to a teacher, tutor or student support service. A good timetable supports your wellbeing and does not replace it.
A worked example
A student has three subjects: maths needing six hours a week, history four and chemistry five. Free time is weekday evenings from 18:00 to 21:00 and Saturday morning from 09:00 to 12:00, which gives eighteen hours. With sixty-minute sessions and ten-minute breaks the tool can show that fifteen hours fit but all of them would use every free evening. The student decides to trim chemistry to four hours and keep one evening free. Making that trade-off on paper in advance is far easier than discovering the problem in the middle of exam week.
Print, CSV and calendar export
Print the timetable and put it above your desk. Download CSV to adjust in a spreadsheet. Export an ICS file to add study sessions to Google, Apple or Outlook calendar, where you can receive reminders. Times are exported as local times and appear at the same clock time on your devices.
