How to make a revision timetable that works
The maker does these five steps for you. They are worth knowing if you would rather make one by hand.
- Count the daysWork back from the first exam or mock. Four to six weeks is plenty for mocks; for the summer exams, start lightly in January and properly from Easter.
- Be honest about timeOne to two hours on a school day and three or four on a weekend day is realistic for most Year 11s. A timetable that gets followed beats a perfect one that doesn’t.
- Rank your subjectsGive the most time to the subjects you are least confident in, not the ones you enjoy. The maker gives weak subjects three times the time of strong ones.
- Mix it upSpread each subject across the week rather than one subject a day, and rotate between learning, practice questions and recall. Spacing and switching help memory.
- Finish with past papersSave the last fortnight for exam questions under timed conditions. They show what the marks are really for.
Example GCSE revision timetable for Year 11 mocks
One week from a Year 11 plan four weeks before November mocks: eight subjects, an hour and a half on school days and three hours at weekends, with Maths and Chemistry marked as the least confident.

Year 11, mocks and A-Level revision timetables
Year 11 revision timetable
Year 11 is about balance: eight to ten subjects, coursework and school. Keep school-day sessions short, use weekends for the subjects that need the most time, and keep one evening free. Revisit each subject at least twice a week so nothing goes cold.
Mock exam revision timetable
Mocks are practice for the real thing, so the timetable should be too. Start four to six weeks out, cover every subject, and use the results afterwards to decide what goes first in the spring. Our guide to revising for GCSE Maths mocks goes further.
A-Level revision timetable
With three or four subjects, A-Level revision goes deeper rather than wider. Longer sessions of 60 minutes suit most students, with weekend days of five or six hours in the run-up to exams, and plenty of past paper practice in the final weeks.

FAQs
Is the revision timetable maker free?
Yes, completely. Make as many timetables as you like and print them. If you want a copy by email, we ask for a name and email address so we can send it.
How many hours a day should you revise for GCSEs?
Most Year 11s manage one to two hours on a school day and three to four on a weekend day, in sessions of 30 to 60 minutes with short breaks. More than that tends to mean tired, low-quality revision. Start with what is realistic; a timetable that gets followed beats an ambitious one that doesn’t.
When should you start revising for mocks?
Four to six weeks before the first mock paper is enough for most students, starting gently. For the summer exams, a light timetable from January and a fuller one from Easter works well. The maker plans up to six months ahead.
How does it decide how much time each subject gets?
You mark each subject as not confident, OK or confident. Subjects you are least sure of get three times the time of your strongest ones, and two times for the ones in between. Sessions are spread so no subject is studied twice in a row, and the last fortnight switches to past paper questions.
Does it work for A-Level?
Yes. Choose A-Level at the top, pick your subjects, and give your weekly hours. A-Level students usually revise for longer, so the weekend can go up to eight hours.
Can I get a blank revision timetable to fill in by hand?
Yes. Scroll down to the blank weekly timetable and press print. It prints one clean week, Monday to Sunday, ready to fill in.
What happens to our details?
Nothing is sent anywhere unless you ask for a copy by email. Then we save the timetable with a private link, email it to you, and may follow up once about how revision is going. See our privacy policy.
