Exam Countdown
"Three weeks" sounds like plenty. "Ninety Pomodoros" sounds like a plan. Enter your exam date and this free planner turns the time you have left into focused 25-minute sessions, so you can see what fits before the big day — and start the first one right here with the timer above.

The link keeps your exam name, date and plan, so you can bookmark it, pin it in your study group chat or send it to classmates who sit the same exam. Nothing is stored on a server — everything lives in the link.
How to use your Pomodoro budget
- Count backwards. Reserve the last two study days for past papers and light review, not new material.
- Split by topic. Divide the total by the number of chapters — if a chapter gets fewer than three Pomodoros, start sooner or cut scope now, not the night before.
- Mix in active recall. End every second Pomodoro with five minutes of questions from memory; it beats re-reading.
- Protect breaks. Six honest Pomodoros a day beat ten distracted ones. Use the break to stand up, drink water, look away from the screen.
Study with others
Revising for the same exam as friends? Join the always-open Study Hall (focus :00–:50 every hour) or make a synced session for your group with the study together timer. Long reading days work well with the 50 / 10 study timer; if starting is the hard part, try the ADHD-friendly timer or a short 15-minute sprint.
Questions
Why count in Pomodoros instead of hours?
Hours hide breaks and distractions. A Pomodoro is 25 minutes of real focus, so counting them shows what you can actually get done — and ticking them off is far more motivating than watching a calendar.
Can teachers share one countdown with a class?
Yes. Set the exam name and date, copy the link and post it in your class page or LMS. In the lesson itself, the classroom timer has a projector mode for group revision sessions.
Is it free?
Yes — no ads, no sign-up and nothing to install. It works on phones, tablets and laptops.
