Questions
How does the free-time finder work?
Optionally sketch a typical day — sleep, classes or work, and everything else — and it shows the free hours left in a day. Then enter how many of those hours you'll realistically study and whether you take a rest day, and it works out your weekly study capacity: hours a day multiplied by your study days. It's the same capacity figure StudyRise uses inside the app.
What is my weekly study capacity?
It's the honest number of study hours you have in a week at your pace — your study hours a day times the number of days you study. If you also enter what you've already studied this week, it shows what's left. It is deliberately modest: it's the time you actually have, not an aspirational maximum.
What are the persona presets for?
They fill a realistic study-hours-a-day number for common situations — an MBBS clinical year (about 2 hours), university with a part-time job (about 3), or full-time exam prep (about 6). They're a starting point you can change; the point is to plan from an honest number rather than an optimistic one.
Do I need an account to use it?
No. The free-time finder is free and needs no signup. Inside StudyRise this capacity feeds your real plan and readiness signal — so the app knows whether your available time is enough to cover the syllabus in time — but you never have to sign up to use this tool.
