What makes this different from a study schedule
Study schedules assume you have enough time for everything. Finals mode assumes you do not. It triages: which exams can still change your letter grade, which ones are already locked in, and which ones to skip if you are behind. No fantasy 14-hour study days. No color-coded calendar that falls apart by Tuesday. Just the math on what matters most and a review plan scoped to the hours you actually have.
Already behind? Start here.
If you missed weeks of class, finals mode still works. Grade Predictor shows the minimum score needed on each exam to pass, to hold your current grade, or to reach your target. Sometimes the answer is “this exam cannot save you, focus on the other one.” That clarity is worth more than another hour of panic.
Recovery-first means no guilt trip for falling behind. You get the numbers, the realistic options, and one clear next move. That is it.
Works with everything you have already set up
If you have already uploaded syllabi, Grade Predictor and your task list are ready. If you are starting fresh, upload one syllabus and finals mode activates in under a minute. Your grade weights, deadlines, and current scores feed directly into the triage calculation so you see exactly which exam deserves your next hour of study time.
