The problem in their words
Students fall behind, through illness, missed weeks of classes, or fixating on whichever subject has the first test, and then face a pile of material with a fixed deadline. New lectures and readings keep arriving every week while the backlog sits there. They ask how to plan the time left, like having "a week for an exam" or 16 days for many "very long" chapters.

“I get so fixated on one subject (it's always the subject that has the first test), that I fall behind on the other subjects.”

“But every week there is another 8 hours of video lectures (and physical lectures) we need to study...and 5 more articles to read.”

If you tested it
A headline for the page: “Turn what you missed into a day-by-day plan before your exam”
Test first: The riskiest assumption is that behind students will enter their backlog and deadline to get a plan, shown by visitors completing a short intake form on the page.
- Build a one-page site with the headline, a short form for missed topics and deadline, and an email field to receive the plan.
- Answer catch-up and exam-planning posts in study communities like these, linking the page where it fits the question asked.
- Count yes if a meaningful share of visitors fill in their backlog and deadline and leave an email to get their plan.

Edit it to make it yours, then see who's asking this week. If you want, Ghostlaunch builds the page and runs the 7-day test.
