Your plan isn't a fixed document — it's a living schedule you'll reorder, reshape, and edit as your prep changes. The Plan screen (the /plan route) gives you four views of the same tasks, so you can pick the altitude that matches the decision you're making: today's next task, this week's status, or the whole road to exam day.
List view
List is the day-to-day workhorse: every task grouped by phase, with a filter bar and sort dropdown so you can find your next task in seconds. A phase summary strip at the top shows how each phase is progressing and lets you jump straight to it. Use List when you're deciding what to work on next.
- Scan the phase summary strip to see how Phase 1, 2, and 3 are progressing, and tap a phase to jump to it.
- Narrow the list with the filter bar — All, Not started, In progress, or Completed, each showing a live count.
- Reorder with the sort dropdown: Manual, Due date, Subject, or Hours.
Kanban board
Kanban — labelled Board in the toggle — shows the same tasks as drag-and-drop columns organised by status. It's the fastest way to update several tasks at once at the end of a study day: drag, drop, done. Nothing new to learn if you've used any board tool before.
- Switch the view toggle to Board.
- Drag a task card between columns to change its status.
- Drop a card into Completed to mark it done.
Timeline view
Timeline is the big picture: your entire prep window laid out week by week, with a lane for mock exams and a lane per subject. It exists so you can see trouble coming — a heavy week, or new material scheduled too close to exam day — before you live through it.
- Read each lane: one for mock exams, one per subject, with markers for tasks, milestones, and SR-due dates (SR is spaced repetition — StudyRise's scheduled-review system).
- Watch for the amber glow on unusually heavy weeks — that's your cue to rebalance before the week arrives.
- Note the two lines: the dashed line is your "stop learning new material" cutoff, and the red line is exam day itself.
Sprint view
A fourth view, Sprint, appears in the toggle only after you've activated a Revision Sprint — a tighter, weakness-weighted revision schedule for your final month. You activate it from a Dashboard nudge that appears within 28 days of your exam, not from the Plan screen. The full walkthrough lives in the Revision Sprint guide.
The task detail drawer
Every task in List, Kanban, or Timeline is clickable, and clicking opens the task detail drawer — the single place where you edit a task's details. This is how you reshape your schedule when life happens: push a due date, trim the hours, move a task to another phase, or mark it complete.
- Click any task in List, Kanban, or Timeline to open the drawer.
- Edit its due date, estimated hours, phase, subject, or question target.
- Work through its step-by-step checklist to track progress inside the task.
- Mark it complete with a specific date — useful when you finished it yesterday but are logging it today.
