A5 study planner inserts for exams, assignments and weekly focus

This A5 study planner is a set of undated inserts for A5 ring binders, Half Letter binders and discbound planners, with 20 pages arranged as two-page spreads. The download holds an A5 PDF and a Half Letter PDF, and if you only have regular paper, print-and-cut A4 and US Letter files fit two pages on each sheet.

The files arrive as an instant download. Nothing is shipped.

How the A5 study planner keeps your semester calm

Begin the term by writing down three goals and mapping out your subjects, teachers and class times. After that, each week has a dedicated spread where you set study hours and a few tasks for every day. Up to 29 assignments fit in the tracker, each with a due date and boxes for started and done, and one big project can be broken into smaller steps.

When exams approach, you have a schedule, a 30 day countdown and a topic list where each subject gets a red, amber or green rating. A weighted grade table shows the score you need on the final, and the focus spread breaks a study day into 25 minute blocks. Since it is undated, reprint the weekly, focus and Cornell spreads for every week of the year.

Who this student planner is for

• High school and college students carrying a compact A5 or half letter binder in their bag
• Anyone entering exam season who wants a countdown, a topic list and a steady plan
• Working adults studying for a course, a certificate or a license exam
• Homeschool families who enjoy a simple weekly study routine on paper

Design, size and printing

• Minimal, elegant look: white pages with soft blush pink touches that use little ink
• Wide margins so a home printer never trims your writing space
• Portrait pages sized A5 (148 x 210 mm) and Half Letter (5.5 x 8.5 in), with sheets for A4 and US Letter that you print and cut
• Undated, ready for any term, semester or exam season
• Margins swap sides from page to page: 14 mm binding space on the left of odd pages and on the right of even ones, 8 mm outside
• Lines spaced 6.5 mm or more and type no smaller than 8.5 pt, so small pages stay comfortable
• Print-and-cut sheets have a dashed middle line and cut ticks: one cut, two pages
• Keep it in a binder or on a clipboard, or have it spiral bound at a print shop
• Spreads print best double-sided from the A5 or Half Letter file, flipped on the long edge

Good to know

• The planner is a set of print ready PDFs, not a hyperlinked digital planner. If you like, import it into most note taking apps and write on it there.
• It is a digital product, so no physical item is sent.
• Printed colors may vary a little from your screen.
• Personal use license. Please keep the files to yourself and do not resell or redistribute them.
• Digital files cannot be returned. If a file does not open or print correctly, email us and we will help right away.
• Ring spacing is different from brand to brand, so the pages carry no punch marks. Use your own A5 6-hole punch, junior punch or disc punch along the wide inner margin.
• The grade tracker is a basic fill-in table. Your school's or teacher's grading rules always take priority.
