STAT Success Cohort · Week 7 Tool

Final Exam Triage.

You will not study everything. The work is choosing what to study, with eyes open. This tool calculates a priority order from your topic weights and your honest confidence, and produces a study allocation for the time you actually have. Takes 20 to 30 minutes. Auto-saves as you go.

How to use this tool

Section 1, enter the days until your final and the hours per day you can realistically study. Section 2, list each topic on your final, its weight on the exam, and your honest confidence. Section 3, click Calculate to see your priority order and study hours per topic. Section 4, review your day-by-day plan. Print or download the result.

01

How much time do you have?

Be honest about hours per day. Optimistic estimates produce plans you cannot actually execute, and that is one of the most expensive mistakes you can make this week.

Total available study hours 42
02

What is on your final?

Add each topic that will appear on your final. Estimate its weight (the syllabus may show this; if not, estimate from past exams). Rate your honest confidence using the four-level scale your team has been using since Week 3.

Total weight assigned: 0% Aim for roughly 100%.
03

Your priority order

The calculation is simple: high-weight topics you do not yet know are highest priority. Low-weight topics you already know well are lowest priority, even if they feel safer to study. Click Calculate when your topics list is complete.

Add topics in Section 2 first, then click Calculate.
04

Your day-by-day plan

A simple distribution of your highest-priority topics across the days you have remaining. Use this as a starting point, not a contract. Adjust based on your team's feedback in the live session.
