Set up your countdown to begin.
Days in the ticking display are 24-hour periods.
Links include the displayed setup, names and dates. Edits need a new link. Calendar files contain 30-minute markers, not automatic reminders.
How to use the exam countdown
Set the exam time and zone, enter your own estimate of study hours still needed, and select the weekdays you can study. Add unavailable dates and optionally reserve the last few calendar days before the exam for revision.
The estimate divides remaining hours by selected study dates before the revision window. The exam date is excluded. Including today counts it as a whole study date, even if some of it has passed. Revision days are reserved, not included in the hours-per-day estimate. Change remaining hours as you make progress.
Is the hours-per-day figure a study recommendation?
It is arithmetic based on your own workload estimate and available dates. It does not predict a grade or establish how much study you need. If no selected dates remain, the tool explains that instead of dividing by zero.
How does this countdown keep time?
It uses TimeCubby's server-time synchronization and advances locally between checks. The synchronization status tells you when NTP is unavailable or the connection is stale. Time-zone conversion uses your browser's time-zone rules; keep the browser updated. A one-time event link preserves its exact instant. Holiday, recurring and New Year setups calculate their next dates from the rules you chose.
Will I receive a reminder?
No email or push reminder is sent. An optional sound can play when a visible, open page crosses a target. It cannot be relied on when the browser is closed, the device sleeps or sound is blocked. Calendar export creates 30-minute markers; review their duration and reminder settings in your calendar. Recurring exports contain only the previewed dates.
