How it is calculated
Total hours = days × daily hours. New study = total × (1 − buffer/100). Hours per topic = new study ÷ topics.
A worked example
14 days at 2 hours gives 28 hours. A 25% buffer leaves 21 hours for seven topics: 3 hours per topic.
Before using your result
An arithmetic allocation, not a scientifically personalised method. Give difficult topics more time, rest and adjust after measuring your progress. It does not guarantee passing.
How to enter reliable inputs
Pre-filled values are examples only. Replace every input and check its unit before calculating: a unit error can change the result substantially. Use decimals where needed and ensure you have not left a zero where a real value is required.
When comparing scenarios, change one input at a time and save both summaries. This shows which variable explains the difference. Downloaded summaries contain your inputs and results, but do not replace professional or official documentation.
