Exam Study Plan

When you set an exam date, RemNote works out how much practice you need to do before exam day. The study plan page shows you that schedule and how well you're keeping to it.

Written by Victor He

After you create an exam, RemNote takes the flashcards in your exam, calculates how much practice you need between now and exam day, and spreads it across the weeks you have left. The exam study plan page is where that schedule becomes visible: what you still need to learn, what is due for review, and whether you are keeping up.

To open it, click one of your exams in the Flashcard Home.

Tracking your progress

The very first thing you see is a progress bar, which shows how far along you are toward being ready for the exam.

To change the schedule as you go, click Edit Plan in the upper-right corner. If you want to learn more what each setting changes and why the schedule looks the way it does, read Understanding the Exam Scheduler.

Learning and reviewing your flashcards

From the study plan you can start practicing either kind of flashcard:

  • flashcards you have already learned that are due for review

  • new flashcards you have not started learning yet

Keeping the two apart matters when your material is still growing. If you generate flashcards with AI partway through the study period, or add more of your own, you can learn those on their own, or combine them with the flashcards you are already reviewing and practice everything together.

Whenever you add flashcards or generate new content inside an exam, a message appears telling you that the exam now contains content that is not yet in your schedule. Add those flashcards to your schedule from the message, or click Other Options to adjust the schedule and learn them at a different time.

Study plan views

When you scroll to the bottom of the page, you can browse your schedule in three ways:

  • Weekly View: How many flashcards you need to learn and how many reviews are due this week and in the weeks ahead, so you always know how much each week holds.

    Every week also breaks down by document, so you can see exactly what is left to learn and to review for each lecture or document in the exam, and pick which one to start on.

  • Monthly View: A calendar view of the total flashcards and reviews due across the month.

  • Graph View: How many flashcards will appear in your queue over time. This view also splits your progress into the phases of your plan, such as the initial learning period and the final review period before the exam.

Note: Hover over or tap any bar to read explanations, or read Preparing for an Exam to learn what each study period means.
