Exam Revision Schedule Builder

Example prompt: "I've got five A-level exams in May and June. Here's the list of subjects, topics per subject, exam dates, and the times I'm available to study. Build me a revision timetable that covers every topic at least twice before the exam, weights harder topics more heavily, and blocks the sessions onto my Google Calendar."

How to automate revision scheduling with GloriaMundo

The Problem

Building a revision timetable is the first thing students are told to do and the last thing they actually manage. The planning itself is tedious — listing every topic for every subject, working out how many hours you have before each exam, deciding which topics need more time, and blocking sessions onto a calendar in a way that does not front-load one subject and starve the others. Most students either draw up an overly ambitious timetable they abandon by week two, or never plan properly and end up cramming whichever subject's exam is next. Tutors helping multiple students run into the same problem at scale.

How GloriaMundo Solves It

We build a workflow that takes the student's exam list (subjects, dates, and topics per subject), their available study windows per day, and any preferences — topics they struggle with, subjects they want to prioritise, rest days they want to protect. A code step calculates the time budget per subject based on how many days remain before each exam and how many topics each subject has. An LLM step allocates topics to study sessions across the available windows, aiming to cover each topic at least twice before its exam, with a heavier weighting on topics flagged as weaker. It interleaves subjects to avoid a full day on one topic and leaves buffer time before each exam for past-paper practice. An integration step writes each study block onto the student's Google Calendar with the subject and topic in the title. Glass Box preview shows the full schedule before any calendar events are created, so the student can swap slots around or extend sessions for topics they want to focus on.

Example Workflow Steps

  1. Trigger (manual): Student provides exam dates, topics per subject, available study windows, and any topic priorities.
  2. Step 1 (code): Calculate a time budget per subject based on days remaining and topic count, weighting for flagged weak topics.
  3. Step 2 (llm): Allocate specific topics to specific sessions — aiming for at least two passes per topic, interleaving subjects, and leaving buffer time for past papers before each exam.
  4. Step 3 (integration): Create calendar events on Google Calendar for each study block, with the subject and topic in the event title and key resources in the description.

Integrations Used

  • Google Calendar — destination for every scheduled revision block
  • Google Sheets — optional source for the topic list and exam dates if the student keeps them in a sheet

Who This Is For

Students preparing for GCSEs, A-levels, university finals, or professional qualifications such as ACCA and CFA. Also useful for tutors and learning mentors who help multiple students plan their revision and want a consistent, evidence-sensitive starting point rather than drawing up timetables by hand.

Time & Cost Saved

Building a realistic, topic-by-topic revision schedule from scratch takes 2–3 hours if done properly, and most students skip it or do it badly. This workflow produces a full schedule in a couple of minutes and removes the excuse for not having a plan. For tutors supporting several students, the savings compound — an hour saved per student across a cohort of twenty is a full week of planning time reclaimed. The workflow uses code, LLM, and integration steps, costing a few credits per schedule generated.
