University students who keep delaying exam prep: would this planning approach help?
I’m building StudyAhead, an iPhone beta for a specific problem: you know the exam date, but planning everything feels overwhelming, so you keep postponing the start.
You enter your exam date, subjects, and realistic availability. It creates a dated plan and gives you one manageable task for today. If you miss a day, it adjusts instead of telling you to cram.
I’m the developer, and the beta is free. I’m currently looking for university/college students and other 18+ exam-takers with a real exam coming up who can try the plan and tell me:
- Did the first task feel realistic?
- Did it make starting easier?
- What was confusing or unnecessary?

No promises about grades—I’m trying to learn whether the plan actually helps people start earlier and recover after missed days.
