Build a revision timetable you can actually use.

How to use the revision timetable builder

Enter one subject per line, choose your total focused revision hours and pick the days you can use. The builder divides that time into whole sessions, spreads them across your selected days and rotates through the subjects in the order you enter them.

The result is a balanced starting point, not a personalised learning recommendation. It does not know your paper dates, homework load or topic gaps. If a paper is close or a teacher has identified a priority, move the relevant sessions before using the plan.

• Keep homework already assigned separate so time is not counted twice.
• Choose days that fit school, travel and other commitments.
• Use a session length that fits the task; allow breaks outside the focused minutes.
• Print the plan or download a CSV, then write a clear task against each slot.

What the numbers mean

A budget of six hours is 360 focused minutes. With 25-minute sessions, the builder can schedule fourteen full sessions, totalling 350 minutes, and leaves ten minutes unallocated. It reports that remainder rather than stretching a session or pretending the full budget has been used.

If you enter more subjects than there are sessions, some subjects will receive no slot. The result flags them. Increase the number of sessions, reduce the subject list for this week or plan a rotation across two weeks. Keep the trade-off visible.

Make the week fit around school

Start with fixed commitments. A Tuesday with a late club and a long bus journey may be a poor place for a demanding written task. A quieter weekend block may suit a longer question set.

This simple builder treats selected days as equally available. Adjust the result if your evenings have different capacities. Pace’s app adds exam setup, an ongoing weekly budget and daily revision tracking; the website tool deliberately stays a quick, local starting point.

Write tasks you can begin

Change “Maths” into “retry the simultaneous-equation questions I missed”. Change “English” into “plan a response on how the writer presents conflict, then check the assessment criteria”. The output you are aiming for should be understandable before the timer starts.

Keep correction time inside the session. Finishing a practice question without checking it leaves the next action unclear. Record the error you want to revisit and give it another small slot later.

Review once a week, then stop planning

At the end of the week, compare the timetable with what actually happened. Keep useful sessions, shrink tasks that repeatedly overrun and move work that clashes with school commitments.

A timetable is a working draft. Rebuilding it every evening can become another way to delay starting. Make one manageable adjustment and choose the next task.
