Make a revision timetable

Can AI make a revision timetable?

Yes. Give ChatGPT, Gemini or Claude your exam dates, weakest subjects and the hours you can realistically revise, and ask for a week-by-week table of short sessions with breaks, mixed subjects and practice-paper days. Review it every Sunday and ask the AI to adjust it for anything you missed.

Copy-and-paste prompt

Swap the bits in [square brackets] for your own details.

Make me a revision timetable. Exams: [subject – date, for each]. I'm weakest at [subjects]. I can revise [hours] on weekdays and [hours] at weekends, but not [busy times]. Use 30–45 minute sessions with breaks, mix subjects, add practice-paper days before each exam, and leave one evening a week free. Show it as a table by week.

How to do it

  1. Open ChatGPT, Gemini or Claude and start a new chat.
  2. Copy the prompt below and replace everything in [square brackets] with your details.
  3. Ask it to put the timetable in a table you can print or copy into a calendar.
  4. Review it each Sunday and ask the AI to adjust for what you missed.

What a good answer looks like

Illustrative example written by the AI My Day team to show the kind of answer you can expect. It is not a captured tool output, and real results vary.

Week 1 (from Mon 2 March) Mon 17:00 Maths – algebra (40m) · 17:50 History – flashcards (30m) Tue 17:00 Biology – cells practice Qs (40m) · 17:50 Maths – past-paper Q1–5 Wed — free evening — Thu 17:00 English – essay plan (45m) … Sat 10:00 Maths practice paper (timed) Sun – review week and adjust

Recommended tools

All three can turn exam dates and free time into a balanced, realistic timetable.

Top tips

  • Build in rest – an unrealistic timetable gets abandoned.
  • Use active revision (practice questions, flashcards), not just re-reading.

Frequently asked questions

How long should revision sessions be?
