Free revision timetable generator
Free TutorAura tool · no sign-up · Updated
Add your subjects, their exam dates and how confident you feel about each, choose how many sessions you can do on weekdays and at weekends, and the generator builds a day-by-day revision timetable. It gives weaker subjects more sessions, spreads each subject over the weeks, mixes subjects within each day, and puts a final review the day before each exam. Print it or download it for Excel or Google Sheets.
How the timetable is built
- Spacing: each subject comes back every few days rather than in one block, because spreading practice over time improves long-term memory (Cepeda et al., 2006).
- Mixing: two or three subjects a day, so you switch topics and keep fresh.
- Priorities: subjects you marked "weak" and exams that are closer get more sessions.
- Last-minute review: the day before each exam starts with that subject.
- Rest: choose a rest day; days with an exam have at most one other session.
Each session is about 45 minutes, with a short break between sessions.
What to do in each session
A timetable only works if the sessions are effective. Swap rereading and highlighting for:
- Test yourself: flashcards, blank-page recall or past-paper questions. See active recall.
- Mark your answers and note what you got wrong.
- Fix the gaps: relearn the topic, then try similar questions.
For GCSE students, our GCSE revision timetable guide explains how to plan the months before exams.
Make it your own
The generator gives a starting point. Move sessions around clubs, work and family time, and swap subjects if a topic needs more attention. Review the plan at the end of each week: what got done, what didn't, and what's coming up. A plan you follow most of the time beats a perfect one you abandon.
A sample week
For a student with Maths (weak), Biology (okay) and History (strong), with two sessions on weekdays and four at weekends, a week might look like this:
| Day | Sessions |
|---|---|
| Mon | Maths, Biology |
| Tue | History, Maths |
| Wed | Biology, Maths |
| Thu | Maths, History |
| Fri | Biology, Maths |
| Sat | Maths, Biology, History, Maths |
| Sun | Rest |
Maths appears most because it's weakest, but every subject comes back several times a week.
Why spacing and mixing work
The timetable spreads each subject across the weeks instead of blocking it, and mixes subjects within each day. Spreading study out (spaced practice) is one of the best-supported ways to remember more for longer, and coming back to a subject after a gap makes you recall it, which strengthens memory further. See spaced repetition and the best study techniques.
Frequently asked questions
Is the revision timetable generator free?
Yes, with no sign-up. Your timetable is created in your browser; nothing is sent to us.
How many sessions a day should I plan?
During term, one or two on school days and three or four at weekends is realistic for many students. In holidays you can do more. Include a rest day.
Can I use it for A levels or university exams?
Yes. It works for any set of exams with dates, up to 15 subjects and 6 months ahead.
