How the timetable is worked out
- Each priority level has a weight: Very High 5, High 4, Medium 3, Low 2, Very Low 1.
- For each day of the week, only the subjects you marked free that day are scheduled. A subject with no days ticked counts as free every day.
- That day's hours are split between those subjects in proportion to their weights, so a Very High subject gets five times the time of a Very Low one on the same day.
- Every block is rounded to the nearest 15 minutes. If rounding leaves the day a few minutes over or under, the highest-priority subject that day takes up the difference, so each day adds up to exactly the hours you entered.
Worked example
Say you have 6 hours a day, with Physics at Very High, Maths at High and Chemistry at Medium, and Chemistry coaching takes up your Saturdays. On a normal weekday the weights add up to 5 + 4 + 3 = 12, so each subject gets its weight out of 12:
| Subject | Priority (weight) | Share | Time |
|---|---|---|---|
| Physics | Very High (5) | 5/12 | 2h 30m |
| Maths | High (4) | 4/12 | 2h |
| Chemistry | Medium (3) | 3/12 | 1h 30m |
On Saturday only Physics and Maths are free, so the same 6 hours are split 5 : 4 between them instead. Physics works out to 3h 20m and Maths to 2h 40m, which round to the nearest quarter hour:
| Subject | Priority (weight) | Share | Time |
|---|---|---|---|
| Physics | Very High (5) | 5/9 | 3h 15m |
| Maths | High (4) | 4/9 | 2h 45m |
Choosing priorities
- Rank by marks at stake, then by weakness.A high-weightage subject you're weak in deserves Very High. A subject you're already strong in can drop a level even if it carries a lot of marks.
- Keep the spread honest. If every subject is Very High, the split is even and the priorities stop doing anything. Use at least two different levels.
- Use free days for fixed commitments. Untick a subject on the days coaching, school or a part-time job already covers it, rather than lowering its priority for the whole week.
- Enter the hours you will actually study. A realistic 4 hours you keep beats an 8-hour plan you abandon by Wednesday. Raise it once the first week holds.
