A free exam countdown planner that maps out the final 8–12 weeks before your exams day by day, so every subject gets the right share of attention and no topic gets forgotten.
The final stretch before exams is where grades are won or lost. A countdown planner forces you to answer the uncomfortable question: which topics will I actually cover, and when? Without that, the strongest topics keep getting revised (because they feel easier) and the weakest get ignored.
Print this planner, fix it to the wall, and tick off each session as you go. The visible progress is motivating, and the visible gaps are honest.

Frequently asked questions
When should I start using a countdown planner?
Roughly 12 weeks out is ideal. Earlier than that and the plan becomes unrealistic; later than 8 weeks and you're triaging rather than planning.
What should I do in the final week?
Light, high-quality recall only — flashcards, past mistakes review, short exam-style questions. No new content. Sleep, food and exercise matter more than one more session at this point.
What if I fall behind the plan?
Redraw the plan rather than working through the night. A realistic, smaller plan you actually finish beats a perfect plan you abandon.
