How to calculate your daily study time
The quick way to work out a study time is to divide the hours you need by the days you have, then add a share for review. Add the review hours to the total first, then divide: daily study time = (total hours + review hours) / days. The calculator above goes one step further. It splits the hours you can give each day between your subjects by difficulty and priority, then adds breaks, a session length and a day-by-day schedule.
Worked examples
- Exam in a month: 60 hours of study in 30 days is 60 / 30 = 2 hours a day.
- With review: 90 hours of study and 18 hours of review in 45 days is (90 + 18) / 45 = 108 / 45 = 2.4 hours a day, which is 2 hours 24 minutes.
- Lost some days: 120 hours of study plus 24 hours of review in 40 days is 144 / 40 = 3.6 hours a day. If 5 days go missing, 144 / 35 is about 4.11 hours a day, roughly 4 hours 7 minutes. Five lost days add about 31 minutes to every remaining day.
- Weekly and monthly totals: 2.5 hours a day is 2.5 x 7 = 17.5 hours a week and 2.5 x 30 = 75 hours over 30 days.
- How the same 100 hours spread out: 20 days is 5 hours a day, 25 days is 4 hours, 50 days is 2 hours and 100 days is 1 hour.
How the calculator splits your day between subjects
Each subject gets a weight equal to its difficulty times its priority (both from 1 to 5). A subject's share of your daily hours is its weight divided by the sum of all weights. The Study Hours box you type for each subject is replaced by this split, so it does not change the result.
- Maths: difficulty 4, priority 5, weight 4 x 5 = 20. History: difficulty 2, priority 3, weight 2 x 3 = 6. The weights add up to 26.
- With 6 study hours a day, Maths gets 20 / 26 x 6 = 4.62 hours and History gets 6 / 26 x 6 = 1.38 hours. Together that is the full 6 hours.
How breaks and session length are worked out
The calculator assumes about 50 minutes of work in front of each break. The number of breaks is the study minutes divided by (50 + your break length), rounded down. The session length is the study time left after the breaks, divided by the number of breaks. For 8 hours a day with 15-minute breaks: 8 x 60 = 480 minutes, 480 / 65 = 7.38, so 7 breaks. The breaks take 7 x 15 = 105 minutes, leaving 375 minutes, and 375 / 7 = 53.6, so a session of 53 minutes. At 80% study efficiency that day is worth 8 x 0.8 = 6.4 focused hours.
Formulas Used
Daily study time
DST = (T / D) + (R / D)T is the total study hours, R the review hours and D the days available. This is the same as (T + R) / D. For T = 90, R = 18 and D = 45 it gives 2 + 0.4 = 2.4 hours a day.
Share of the day for each subject
Subject hours = (Difficulty x Priority) / (sum of all Difficulty x Priority) x Daily study hoursHarder and higher-priority subjects get a bigger slice of the day. Maths with weight 20 and History with weight 6 share 6 hours as 4.62 and 1.38 hours.
Breaks and session length
Breaks = floor(study minutes / (50 + break minutes)); Session = floor((study minutes - breaks x break minutes) / breaks)For 480 study minutes and 15-minute breaks that is 7 breaks and a 53-minute session.
Variables Explained
T (Total Study Time)
This is the amount of time you're gonna have to work in order to master your target. Like, if you're preparing for an exam, you're gonna have to work 50 hours. It just varies depending on the material you're gonna have to study.
D (Days Available)
Number of days you have left before you finish. If you have 30 days, D is 30. The larger the number of days, the fewer you study daily. It's basic arithmetic, bro.
R (Review/Break Time)
This is like your down time. You know, breaks or learning things over. Like 10 hours of review in 30 days means a bit more time each day to not fry your brain.
DST (Daily Study Time)
The amount this thing informs you of once you hit calculate. It's sort of your work for the day, but to learn. So, if you need 60 hours in 30 days without taking any days off, you're at 2 hours a day.
Important Notes
This calculator is only taking an educated guess, okay?
How much you actually study will differ based on whether you learn slowly or quickly, and how much you already possess knowledge about.
It is pleasant, but talk to instructors or something for personal suggestions. It's more like not the actual expert but a tool for planning.
