About this exam countdown planner
This free printable exam countdown planner works backwards from test day across twelve weeks, so you can spread your revision sensibly instead of cramming at the end. For each week you note the subject or topic to cover, the key areas to focus on, and tick when you have revised and practised it — then rate how exam-ready you feel using the five-star confidence key. Print one per exam, or save it as a PDF.
How to use it
- Fill in the exam name, date and how many weeks you have left.
- Work backwards, assigning topics to weeks — hardest and highest-weighted first.
- Tick Revised and Practised as you go, and update your confidence rating.
- Keep the final week light — consolidate and rest rather than learning new material.
Planning the countdown in advance turns a daunting exam into a series of small, manageable weekly targets.
