Hours Per Day

hours_per_day = total_hours / days_available

Pomodoro Sessions (25 min)

sessions_needed = ceil(total_hours * 60 / 25)

How It Works

How to Plan Study Time

Estimate total hours by dividing pages by your study pace, then multiply by the number of review passes for thorough learning.

Formula

Total Hours = (Pages / Pages Per Hour) x Review Passes

Daily Requirement = Total Hours / Days Available

Worked Example

200 pages at 15 pages/hour, 2 review passes, 14 days available.

total_pages = 200pages_per_hour = 15review_passes = 2days_available = 14
  1. 01Single pass = 200 / 15 = 13.3 hours
  2. 02With 2 passes = 13.3 x 2 = 26.7 hours
  3. 03Daily requirement = 26.7 / 14 = 1.9 hours/day
  4. 04Pomodoro sessions = ceil(26.7 x 60 / 25) = 65 sessions
