From a target grade to a daily plan, automatically
Tell Lumo your exam date and the grade you're aiming for; it builds a day-by-day study schedule from your own notes, tracks your progress, and re-plans when life gets in the way.

Everyone knows the advice: don't cram, start early, study a little each day. The hard part isn't believing it — it's turning a distant exam date into what do I actually do today. That translation is where most study plans die. Lumo's Exam Planner does it for you.
Tell it three things
You give the Planner the essentials:
- The exam — its type (quiz, test, midterm, final), and its date.
- Your target grade — in whatever system you use: marks, percentage, letter, GPA, or a custom scale.
- How much time you can give it each day.
From there it works backwards from your own notes.
It builds the plan from your material
This is the key difference from a generic study timetable. The Planner reads the notes you've already made in Lumo, breaks the material into daily tasks, and spreads them across the days you have left — heavier where the material is dense, lighter where it's thin. It calculates the required daily study time to hit your target and tells you if that's realistic given the time you offered.
Every day you open a short, concrete checklist: review these notes, drill this deck, take this quiz. No staring at a wall of "study biology."
It self-heals when you miss a day
Real study weeks have bad days. Miss a session and a static plan just becomes a guilt trip. Lumo's Planner re-balances automatically — a missed task doesn't vanish, it's redistributed across the days that remain, and the required daily time updates so you always know where you stand. Move the exam date and the whole schedule re-plans instantly.
A live dashboard, and gentle nudges
The Exams Dashboard shows every upcoming exam with a live countdown, your target, your progress, and whether you're on track or slipping. Reminders arrive in-app and by email at the times you scheduled — so the plan reaches you instead of waiting to be checked.
Planning, not prediction
One honest note: the Planner paces your revision from your own notes and deadlines. It doesn't claim to predict your actual exam grade — the target is a readiness goal that shapes the schedule, not a forecast. What it guarantees is that you'll arrive at the exam having covered the material on a sane timeline.
