Organizing revision
Build a revision plan that actually holds up
A good revision plan isn't about filling every day. It's about knowing what to do, when to do it, and how to adjust without panicking when a subject takes longer than expected.

Short answer
To organize your revision, start by listing your exams, the workload of each course, your constraints and the priority subjects. Then plan realistic blocks, with breaks and room to adjust.
The simple method in 5 steps
The classic trap is starting by drawing a perfect week. The right order is the reverse: exams first, then the workload, then the blocks. Your plan should reflect the real difficulty of your courses, not just your urge to be productive.
- Write down every exam date and deadline.
- Estimate each course's workload: chapters, exercises, past papers, summary sheets.
- Rank subjects by priority and difficulty.
- Save your best slots for the tasks that demand the most energy.
- Keep a safety margin for the unexpected.
Why your plan must stay measurable
A vague plan like "revise law" doesn't tell you whether you're moving forward. A useful plan contains observable actions: redo 20 questions, reread a chapter, correct a past paper, finish a summary sheet or explain a concept without looking at the course.
Measuring your time doesn't replace the quality of the work, but it quickly reveals the gaps. If you thought you'd finish a chapter in 1 hour and it takes 3, you can rebalance before the night before the exam.

Frequently asked questions
Direct answers to help you choose a method and a tool without spending an evening comparing them.
How long before exams should you make your plan?
As early as possible, ideally as soon as the dates are known. Even an imperfect plan three weeks out beats a perfect plan the night before.
Do you have to plan every hour of the day?
No. Mainly plan the important blocks, the breaks and the margins. A plan that's too tight breaks at the first surprise.
How do I know if my plan is realistic?
Time a few sessions per subject. If the real time always exceeds your estimate, cut the number of tasks or add slots.
