Study timetable generator

A week of study sessions built from your subjects and the hours you have, rotated so no day repeats the same order.

How this is calculated

The subjects are shuffled from the seed, then each day takes the next block of hours from that order, wrapping round at the end of the list and starting the following day one subject further on. The page prints a table of days against one-hour blocks and adds the hours up.

  • This is a rotation, not a study plan with priorities. It does not know which subject needs more time, when the examinations fall or how long your attention lasts; it arranges the hours you enter into a rotation that starts each day one subject later, and it reports a week that has fewer blocks than subjects, because then some subjects cannot appear at all.
  • An hour is a block, not a promise. A block that contains a break, a revision or a past paper is still one hour here, and the page counts the time you allotted rather than the time that will actually be productive.

A rotation, and what it does not know

The subjects are supplied in your order, shuffled from a seed that changes when you press Generate again, and each day starts one subject further on. A day with more blocks than subjects wraps round the list, so a subject can appear twice in a day; a day with fewer blocks takes the first of that day’s rotation. The table prints days against one-hour blocks, and the weekly line adds the blocks up.

It arranges the hours you enter into a rotation that starts each day one subject later, and reports a week that has fewer blocks than subjects, because then some subjects cannot appear at all. An hour here is an allotted block, not a promise of productive time, and a block that contains a break or a past paper still counts as one.

Questions readers ask

Why does a subject appear twice in one day?

Because the day has more blocks than there are subjects. The rotation wraps round the list, which is what keeps every subject in the week when the hours are long. Reduce the hours or add a subject if the repetition is unwanted.

Does Generate again change the week?

Yes. Each press moves the shuffles to a new starting point, so the arrangement changes. The arithmetic and the totals do not.
