Exam study planner

Test in 13 days. Today already knows what you do tonight.

One notebook per subject, with the exam date on it. Each day Today gives you a short plan: the reviews due, the next lesson, and how many pages a day gets you there with a day to spare.

The Today page in VisualNote: a pink banner for a Pharmacology test on Wednesday October 28 with 13 days left and a progress bar, then a plan of 3 things in about 21 minutes: a review of 15 questions, a new lesson on the heart, and a practice exam

How the plan comes together

  1. A notebook for each subject

    Biology, History, Chemistry. Add the exam date when the teacher announces it, and paste your notes in as the classes go.

  2. Open Today

    The nearest exam sits on top with the days left and a pace in pages a day. Under it: reviews due, the lesson you left halfway, the next one.

  3. A practice Exam a week out

    Seven days before the test, Today adds the Exam: 5 open questions from Noty, each answer marked out of 10.

The VisualNote Home: a box asking what you are learning today, a Today banner with 9 things to review in about 8 minutes, and a shelf of notebooks for Biology, Chemistry, Physics and History
Notebooks

Every subject on one shelf, each with its own date

Your Home shows a notebook per subject, in its own colour. Inside, every note gets a lesson, and the notebook keeps the exam date. Notes you are not sure about yet can stay outside any notebook until you file them.

The end of an Exam in VisualNote: Noty celebrating, 7.5 out of 10 and passed, a mark for each topic with Errors and alpha at 5.5 in red, and a note that one topic comes back tomorrow in Today
The Exam

The dress rehearsal, a week before the real one

When the test is 7 days away, or when you finish every lesson in a notebook, Today adds a practice Exam. Five open questions, typed or said out loud, no notes, about 10 minutes. Each answer gets a mark, what you got right and what is missing. Topics under 6 come back as reviews in Today.

Streak and rest days

Sunday off does not cost you the streak

A day counts when you study something: a lesson, a review, a quiz or a chat on your notes. Pick up to 3 rest days a week and they never break the streak. If you want a nudge, a reminder comes at the hour you choose (18:00 unless you change it), only when something is due or an exam is close, and never after you have already studied that day.

What the free plan gives you

On the free plan you get Today with the exam countdown and the daily pace, reviews (up to 18 a day), the streak with up to 3 rest days a week, and 1 Exam a day. Your first lesson is whole, and every other lesson opens on its first step. Plus opens every lesson, adds checkpoints, a streak freeze each month and a vacation pause.

Questions students ask

How do I make a study schedule for my exams?

Make a notebook for each subject and add the exam date. Today takes the nearest exam in the next 60 days and shows the days left and how many pages a day to cover, keeping the last day for review. You do not write the schedule yourself: you open Today and do what is on it.

How do I know what to study today?

Today lists it in order: reviews that are due, a lesson you left unfinished, the next lesson or checkpoint, pages you added and have not studied yet, and quizzes you have not answered. Each item shows roughly how many minutes it takes. If you had a class, you can add those notes from the same page.

When should I start practicing for the exam?

A practice Exam shows up in Today 7 days before the exam date, or earlier if you finish every lesson in the notebook. It is 5 open questions, about 10 minutes, no notes. The pass mark is 6 out of 10, and anything under it comes back as a review.

Will it remind me to study?

Only if you turn it on. You get an email or a phone notification at the hour you pick, 18:00 by default. It comes only when something is due or an exam is near, and never on a day you already studied.

Is the study planner free?

Yes. Today, the exam countdown, reviews, the streak and rest days are free, and so is 1 Exam a day. Plus is $13.99 a month or $79.99 a year and opens every lesson whole, checkpoints, a monthly streak freeze and a vacation pause.
