Steps
Write down every subject you are studying and the date of each exam or deadline. Put the closest deadline at the top of the list.
Mark the hours you cannot study: school, work, meals, sleep, travel and family time. These are fixed blocks you plan around, not against.
Count the free hours left in a normal week. Be honest about how many you will really use, and leave at least one free evening.
Give each subject a share of the free hours based on how close its exam is and how weak you feel in it. Weak or soon subjects get more time.
Place study sessions into the free blocks, keeping each one between 30 and 60 minutes. Shorter sessions are easier to start and repeat.
Add a short break after each session and one weekly review slot to catch up on anything you missed.
Write the timetable where you will see it, such as a wall poster or phone calendar, and set reminders for each session.
Try it for one week, then move or drop the sessions you skipped. A plan you follow beats a perfect plan you ignore.
Tips and common mistakes
Plan for about 80 percent of your free time, not all of it, so one bad day does not ruin the whole week.
Study the hardest subject when your energy is highest, usually in the morning or right after school.
Keep your phone in another room during sessions to cut down on scrolling.
Review the timetable every Sunday and adjust it before the week starts.
Questions
How many hours should I study each day?
Most students manage well with two to four focused hours on school days and more on weekends. Pick a number you can repeat daily rather than a high number you will quit.
What if I keep missing sessions?
Your plan is probably too packed. Cut one or two sessions, shorten the rest to 30 minutes, and keep the same start time each day so it becomes a habit.
Should I study one subject per day or mix them?
Mixing two or three subjects in a day keeps you fresh and helps memory. Give the subject with the nearest exam the most slots.
