Exam countdown & revision planner
Enter your exam date to see exactly how long is left, which revision phase you should be in, and how many past papers a week it takes to clear your target — for any subject, any session.
The pacing target is simply subjects × papers each — a rough plan, not a rule. Adjust to how many papers exist for your syllabus.

Revision phases as the exam nears
Good revision changes shape as time runs out. With months to go, the priority is understanding every topic. Inside two months, you start layering past papers on top of that knowledge. In the final weeks it becomes almost entirely timed papers, strict marking, and fixing your weakest spots — not new content. The planner tells you which phase your date puts you in and roughly how many papers a week keeps you on track.
The real gains come from marking each paper honestly against the scheme. For the method, see how to revise with past papers.
