Forty-five minutes matches how lessons are timetabled, which makes it a natural revision unit: your notes are already organized in chunks this size. It opens at 45:00; change that with the chips under the dial.
Worth knowing
- Forty-five minutes is the length your timetable already trains you for.
- Suits extended writing and long multi-step problems.
- If attention goes at thirty, use two shorter blocks instead of pushing on.
Getting the most from the 45 minute study timer
- Choose the length before you open the bookDeciding mid-session is how study time leaks away. Pick it now and the only remaining question is which topic.
- Close everything that is not the subjectOne tab, one book, phone in another room. The block is short enough that nothing needs answering inside it.
- Recall before you re-readSay or write what you remember first, then check. Re-reading feels productive and is the weakest way to revise.

Questions people ask
Is 45 minutes too long to study without a break?
It is about the upper limit of comfortable sustained attention for most people. If your mind wanders at thirty, use two shorter blocks instead of pushing through.
Is the 45 minute study timer free to use?
Yes, with no account and no limit. Nothing about your session is stored on a server.
Should I study in one block or several?
Several, with breaks. Spacing the same total time across a week produces better recall than one long sitting.
