Review Time Calculator
Enter your total available hours and rate your weakness per subject (1 = strong, 5 = very weak). The calculator returns an hours-per-subject allocation biased toward the topics that need more time.
Rate your weakness per subject
Hours per subject
200 total hours
Biased by your weakness ratings. Re-rate after each mock — the allocation should drift toward whichever subject keeps dragging your weighted average.
Your allocation
| Subject | Weakness | Hours | % of total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mathematics | 3 / 5 | 50h | 25% |
| Science | 3 / 5 | 50h | 25% |
| Language Proficiency | 3 / 5 | 50h | 25% |
| Reading Comprehension | 3 / 5 | 50h | 25% |

Frequently asked questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the weakness score work?
Rate each subject 1–5 — 1 means you're already comfortable, 5 means it's your weakest. Higher-weakness subjects get a bigger slice of your total hour budget. Subjects tied at the same weakness get equal time.
Is equal-hours-per-subject ever right?
Rarely — except for first-time takers with no clear weakness pattern. Once you've taken a mock or two, your weakness pattern is visible. Time reallocated toward the weakest 2–3 subjects almost always lifts your weighted average faster than equal splits.
What if my total budget seems impossibly tight?
Reduce breadth before reducing depth. Skip low-weight subjects or compress Foundation Phase — don't try to cover everything at insufficient depth. Super Tutor automates this kind of compression based on your mock results.
Does this include mock time?
Yes — bundle mock-test time into the subject with the lowest subtest score on that mock. If your full-length mocks take 4 hours each and you want 6 mocks, carve out 24 hours of the budget before allocating the rest.
