Give it your exam date, how many hours of studying you still need to do, and how hard the material is. It tells you how many hours a day that takes on your own - and, next to it, how much less that actually needs to be with targeted spaced review instead of re-reading everything cold.

This is the same idea Encodr's feed runs on every day - it just does the resurfacing for you automatically instead of a one-time printout.
Get started freeStudying on your own usually means re-reading notes and chapters you already half-know, right alongside the material you actually need first exposure to - most of that re-reading time is spent refreshing things you weren't about to forget yet. Spaced review only resurfaces something right as it's about to fade, using increasing gaps (1, 2, 5, 7, 10, 14, 21, 30, 45, 60, 90 days) instead of flat re-reading. That's why the same retention takes measurably fewer hours when review is targeted instead of blanket - the harder and denser the material, the more low-value re-reading there is to cut. If you list topics above, the table below also spreads first exposure to each one across the earlier part of your time, then schedules review passes at those same gaps before your exam.
A concrete plan for spreading first-pass learning and review across the weeks you actually have.
Cramming isn't irrational. It optimises for the wrong exam.
The steepest part of the forgetting curve happens in the first day, not the first week.
