Exam countdown timer

Study smarter in the run-up

A countdown is useful, but a schedule is better. Work backwards from the exam date and use spaced repetition so you review each topic right before you forget — not on the night before.

How to plan your prep backwards from the exam date

A countdown only helps if it changes your weekly schedule. Start by listing every topic in the syllabus, then work backwards from the exam date to assign each one to a specific week. Reserve the final two weeks for full-length mock tests and targeted revision of your weakest areas. Feed your weekly topics into NeverCram's spaced repetition so you review them at the moments you'd otherwise forget — not the night before the exam.
