Enter your topics and exam date to get a spaced repetition revision plan, then add it to your calendar. Free, no signup.
Pick your exam date, then list your topics with the day you first studied each one (or plan to).
The planner spaces your reviews with the SM-2 algorithm: one day after learning, then about a week later, then at steadily longer gaps, with a final review the day before the exam.
Add the schedule to Google, Apple or Outlook Calendar with the .ics file, or print it.
For reviews that adapt to how well you actually remember, put your topics on flashcards in Space Repeat.
Say you learn photosynthesis today and your exam is six weeks away. Here is the schedule the planner builds for it:
The gaps keep growing because each successful review makes the memory last longer before it fades. That's the forgetting curve at work, and it's why 5 short sessions spread over six weeks beat a long cram the night before.
Cramming makes material feel familiar for a day or two, then most of it is gone. Reviewing at increasing intervals does the opposite: every review lands right as you're starting to forget, and that small effort to remember is what moves the material into long-term memory.
This planner uses SM-2, the algorithm behind most spaced repetition apps. If you're curious how it picks each interval, see how spaced repetition algorithms work. For turning a schedule into a daily habit, read how to build a study plan with spaced repetition.
One limit to keep in mind: a topic is a lot of facts, and you won't remember all of them equally well. Spaced repetition works best per fact, which is what flashcards are for. You can make them from your notes with the free flashcard maker.
With the SM-2 spaced repetition algorithm, the same one Space Repeat uses: you review a topic one day after first studying it, then about six days later, then at steadily longer gaps. A final review is added the day before your exam.
Download the .ics file and open it, or import it in Google Calendar (Settings, Import & export), Apple Calendar (File, Import) or Outlook. Each review day becomes an all-day event listing the topics to review.
Each topic's schedule starts from the day you first studied it, so topics you learned earlier come up for review sooner.
This planner assumes every review goes well. Space Repeat schedules each flashcard individually and adjusts the next review based on how well you actually remembered it.
