Type in your subjects, exam dates and the hours you really have, and get a week-by-week revision timetable with timed past papers in the last fortnight, topic revision before that, and a rest day before every paper.
Enter each subject and the date of its first exam (the confirmed 2026 VCE dates are pre-filled for English and Methods; General Maths is 30 October 2026, Specialist is 9 November 2026; get other subjects from the VCAA timetable). Set how many hours you can study on a weekday and on a weekend day. The plan works backwards from each exam: timed past papers in the last two weeks, topic revision before that, a rest day before each paper.
The plan is generated in your browser from three rules that match how examiners and cognitive scientists say revision should run. Rule one: work backwards. Each subject's last fourteen days are reserved for timed practice under exam conditions, because the skill an exam tests is producing answers at speed with no notes, and that skill only improves by rehearsing it. Before the fourteen-day mark the plan schedules topic revision, and more than five weeks out it schedules foundation work, which is where a student rebuilds notes on a weak topic and works mixed questions on it. Rule two: closer exams get more hours. Every day the planner weights each remaining subject by how soon its exam is and shares the available hours accordingly, in half-hour blocks, never fewer than two subjects when you have three or more hours. Rule three: rest before a paper. The day before any exam is a rest day with one short recap, and the day of an exam has at most a light recap of something else. Sleep the night before is worth more than the extra paper.
Students often expect a revision timetable to block a whole day per subject: Monday Methods, Tuesday Chemistry, and so on. The research on memory says the opposite works better. Spaced practice means returning to a topic after a gap rather than in one long sitting; each return, when you have partly forgotten, forces retrieval, and retrieval is what strengthens the memory. Cramming feels productive because the material is fluent while it is in front of you, but the fluency fades within days. Interleaving means mixing subjects, or mixing topics within a subject, in a single session. It is harder in the moment and scores lower on the day's practice, and it produces clearly better results on a delayed test, because you have to identify which method a problem needs instead of applying the same method thirty times. That is exactly what an exam asks of you. So the planner deliberately splits a three-hour evening into two or three subjects and rotates the topic it suggests, and it will move a subject you feel finished with back into the plan a week later.
Three hours on a school day and five on a weekend day, the defaults above, is a heavy but common load for a Year 12 student in Term 4 once classes finish. A Year 11 student with school still running should set one to two weekday hours. Whatever the number, protect it: the plan is only useful if the hours happen, and a plan that assumes six hours a night and delivers two is worse than no plan because it produces guilt instead of practice. If you cannot judge which topics are weak enough to deserve the foundation blocks, the free Skills Check gives a topic-by-topic report in fifteen minutes, and a tutor will phone to talk through the result.
Once classes finish, three to four focused hours on a weekday and five on a weekend day is a common and sustainable load. Focused means timed blocks with the phone in another room; six distracted hours are worth less than three clean ones.
No. Split each day between two or three subjects (interleaving) and return to each subject every few days (spacing). It feels harder and it produces better exam performance.
Untimed sections can start as soon as you have covered a topic. Full timed papers under exam conditions belong in the last two weeks before each exam; the planner reserves that window automatically.
Very little: a short recap of your error log and formula sheet or quote bank, pack your bag, check the exam time on your school's advice slip, and sleep.
