This free study plan generator builds a week-by-week plan for your AI certification exam: pick the exam, the weeks until your test date and the hours you can give it each week. Your time is split by the exam’s published domain weights, and the last week is kept for review.
Most study plans fail in the same two ways: they spread time evenly over topics that are not weighted evenly, and they leave no room at the end to rehearse. This one fixes both.

Build your exam study plan
Pick your exam, how long you have and how many hours a week you can give it. The plan splits your time across the exam's real domain weights and keeps the last week for review.
A plan you can only see on this page is a plan you will lose. Send it to yourself and tick the weeks off as you go.
Sending it also signs you up for the HOW TO // AI newsletter. One email a week, unsubscribe any time.

How to use it
- Choose your exam from the list. It covers AI certifications from AWS, Microsoft, Google Cloud, NVIDIA, Anthropic and others.
- Enter the weeks until your exam (1 to 52) and the hours a week you can really give it (1 to 40).
- Read the plan: each week lists the domains to study and the hours for each.
- Email it to yourself or print it, so you can tick the weeks off as you go.
How the plan is built
- Time follows the blueprint. Each domain gets a share of your hours in proportion to its weight on the exam, so the biggest-scoring areas get the most time.
- The last week is rehearsal. Re-drill what you got wrong, then sit one practice run at full exam length so the clock is not a surprise.
- It warns you when the plan is thin. If your total hours fall well short of what we usually suggest for that exam, it says so rather than pretending.
- No weights, no guessing. Where a vendor does not publish domain weights, the plan says so and splits your time evenly.
Use it with free practice
A plan only works if you find out what you actually know. Every exam here has free practice questions with explanations. Work through the questions for the domain you studied that week, then let the wrong answers set your next session. For a day-by-day version, see our study plans for AWS AI Practitioner, AI-901, AI-103 and the Claude Associate exam.

Frequently asked questions
How does the plan decide what to study when?
It splits your available hours across the exam's published domains in proportion to their weight. If a domain is 30% of the exam, it gets roughly 30% of your study time, and the last week is always review plus one timed run.
Where do the domain weights come from?
From each vendor's own exam guide, the same source our practice pages and study guides use. Where a vendor does not publish weights, the plan says so and splits your time evenly.
How many hours should I plan for?
It depends on the exam and your background. The tool shows the total we usually suggest for each exam and warns you if your schedule is tight, so you can add hours or move the date.
Is it free, and do I need an account?
It is free and there is no sign-up. The plan is built in your browser; emailing it to yourself is optional.
Can I print my study plan?
Yes. The print button lays the plan out on a single clean page.
