Make a free study plan up to your exam
by Miles Corran · November 12, 2026
Knowing what to study is half the problem. The other half is fitting it into the weeks you have left. The new study planner does the fitting for you.
How it works
Pick your exam, enter the date and tick the days of the week you can study. The planner lays out a day-by-day plan up to the day before your exam:
- Learning days. New decks are spread across the first part of the plan, in the order the course teaches them and balanced so no day is much heavier than the others.
- Spaced reviews. Each deck comes back 1, 3, 7, 14 and 30 days after you learn it, the same gaps Braineos uses for every review. Here's why reviews are spaced this way.
- Mixed review. The final stretch is review of everything, so the early units are as fresh as the late ones on exam day.
If the time is short, the plan says so and fits several decks into each day rather than pretending there's room to spare.
Exams with their own plan
Each of these uses a tutor's full set of decks, in course order:
- AP Biology, with Ms. Fern's decks
- AP US History, with Mr. Chronicle's decks
- AP Psychology, with Mira's decks. They don't cover psychological disorders and treatment yet, so the page tells you to plan extra time for that unit.
- GCSE Biology (AQA), with Ms. Ada Linnaeus's decks. They cover topics 1 to 4 and the required practicals so far; the page tells you to plan extra time for topics 5 to 7.
Studying for something else? On the planner page you can pick up to 30 public decks and get a plan for those instead.
Keep the plan
You don't need an account to make a plan, and the link to it holds your exam date and study days, so you can bookmark it or send it to a study partner.
Press Start this plan to save it to your free account. Your home page then shows how many days are left and today's step: the decks to learn, a review day, or mixed review. If you miss a day, it shows how far behind the plan you are and links straight to the next deck. Cards you've already studied keep coming back in your due list as usual.
