Formula
Daily Pages = (Total Pages × 1.2) / Days Remaining
Multiply total pages by 1.2 to build in a 20% review buffer on top of first-pass reading, then divide by the number of days remaining until the exam to get a daily page target. Comparing that daily page target against your stated reading speed and available hours per day shows whether the plan is realistic or whether you need to start earlier, study longer each day, or cut scope. This mirrors how students actually study for cumulative finals, licensing exams, and standardized tests, where later material must be revisited rather than read only once.
Worked Examples
Example 1: Exam in 2 weeks
Problem:300 pages, 14 days, 3 hrs/day, 15 pages/hr
Solution:360 pages (with review)/14 = 26 pages/day = 1.7 hrs/day
Result:26 pages/day (feasible)
Example 2: Tight Timeline for a Dense Textbook
Problem:A nursing student has 180 pages of pharmacology to cover in 6 days, can study 2 hours per day, and reads dense clinical material at about 10 pages per hour.
Solution:With 20% added for review: 180 × 1.2 = 216 effective pages\nDaily target: 216 / 6 = 36 pages/day\nTime needed: 36 / 10 pages per hour = 3.6 hrs/day
Result:36 pages/day requires 3.6 hrs/day — not feasible at 2 hrs/day; the student needs to either extend the timeline, skim lower-yield sections, or add a 7th study day.
