Study Calendar

Your Study Calendar gives you a clear picture of everything you have planned — study blocks, practice sessions, and upcoming tests and exams — laid out on a time grid so you can see your day or week at a glance and plan new study time without double-booking yourself.

Opening the Calendar

Select Calendar from the sidebar (desktop) or the bottom navigation bar (mobile). The calendar opens on today.

You can also open it from your dashboard:

  • View calendar → in the red conflict alert opens the calendar on today. It doesn't jump to the day of the conflict. Look for items with a red border, and use Next → to check the weeks ahead. To list all your conflicts at once, use the Conflicts only filter on the Study Blocks or Practice Sessions page.
  • + Schedule a study block on the Up Next card opens the calendar on today with the new study block form already open. See Creating a Study Block from the Calendar.

To jump directly to a specific date, use a link in this format:

/calendar?date=2026-06-15

Understanding the Grid

The calendar shows a scrollable time grid starting from 06:00 each day. Events are colour-coded so you can tell what kind of item you're looking at instantly.

Colour Item type Draggable?
Green Study block ✅ Yes — drag to reschedule (except Not Done and Completed blocks)
Teal Practice session ✅ Yes — drag to reschedule
Amber Test / exam ❌ No — edit from Tests & Exams page

If an item has a red pulsing left border, it conflicts with a family activity set by your parent. See Schedule Conflicts below.

Switching Between Week and Day View

By default the calendar opens in week view on desktop and day view on mobile.

  • To switch to a single-day close-up, select Day in the top-right of the toolbar.
  • To go back to the seven-day overview, select Week.

On a phone or tablet (portrait), the calendar always stays in day view — the week grid is too narrow to read comfortably at that width.

Use the three buttons at the top-left of the toolbar:

Button What it does
← Prev Go to the previous week (or day)
Today Jump back to the current week (or today)
Next → Go to the next week (or day)

The date range shown in the toolbar updates as you navigate.

Creating a Study Block from the Calendar

The fastest way to add a study block is to tap or click directly on the time slot when you want to study.

  1. Tap an empty slot on the grid. The quick-create form opens with the start time already filled in.
  2. Select a subject from the dropdown.
  3. Adjust the start and end times if needed. Times snap to the nearest five minutes.
  4. Add an optional note (e.g. "Chapter 4 only").
  5. Select Create Study Block.

The form closes and the new block appears on the grid, titled after its subject (for example, "Maths Study"). There's no page reload.

You can also use the + Study Block button at the top of the page, or the green floating + button at the bottom-right on mobile, to open the same form. The start is then set to the current time (rounded to five minutes), and the end to one hour later.

On your dashboard, + Schedule a study block (shown on the Up Next card when nothing is planned for the next 24 hours) takes you here and opens the same form straight away.

While the form is open, the Tab key moves only between the fields and buttons of the form. Press Escape, or select Cancel or the close button, to close it without saving.

No subjects yet? You need at least one subject before you can create a study block. Head to Subjects to add one first, then come back to the calendar.

Rescheduling a Study Block or Practice Session

Drag any study block or practice session to a different time slot and release it. The new time is saved automatically.

  • To make a block longer or shorter, drag the bottom edge of the event up or down. The end time updates when you release.
  • Tests and exams cannot be moved on the calendar. To change their time, go to the Tests & Exams page.
  • Study blocks marked Not Done or Completed cannot be moved or resized. Their date and times are locked, so the calendar doesn't let you pick them up. On a computer, the pointer stays a normal arrow over them, the same as over a test or exam. You can still select one to open its details panel.
  • A Not Done block's times can't be changed in the edit panel on the Study Blocks page either. You can still mark it as completed there: select the block, then Edit → (see Not Done blocks).
  • If a move can't be saved for any other reason, the event snaps back to where it was. Nothing is changed. This also happens if a block was marked Completed, or turned Not Done, after you opened the calendar. Refresh the page and the block shows as locked.
  • Practice sessions can always be moved and resized, whatever their status. Moving one changes only its date and times; the title, subject, instrument, notes and status stay the same.

Viewing and Deleting Events

Tap or click any event to open a details panel on the right (desktop) or from the bottom of the screen (mobile). The panel shows:

  • Event title and subject
  • Date and time (including duration)
  • Status
  • Notes (if any)
  • Instrument (for practice sessions)
  • Location (for tests/exams)

To delete a study block or practice session:

  1. Open the details panel.
  2. Select Delete.
  3. Confirm the deletion.

To edit the full details of a study block or practice session, use the Edit → button:

  • for a study block, it opens the Study Blocks page with the edit panel for that block already open;
  • for a practice session, it opens the Practice Sessions page with the edit panel for that session already open.

Deleting is permanent. There is no undo for deleted study items.

Schedule Conflicts

A schedule conflict means one of your study items overlaps with a family activity set by your parent or guardian. Conflicts are flagged with a red pulsing border and a 🔴 indicator in the details panel.

To resolve a conflict:

  1. Drag the study block or practice session to a free time slot.
  2. Refresh the page. The conflict indicator is gone once the calendar loads your events again.

PlanStudyBoost checks for conflicts every time you create, edit, move, resize or delete a study block or practice session, on the calendar or on the Study Blocks and Practice Sessions pages. The result is saved straight away:

  • A new study block you create on the calendar shows its conflict marker as soon as it appears on the grid.
  • After you move or resize an item, refresh the page to see the updated marker.
  • If an item lands on a family activity, you also get a conflict notification.

You will also see a conflict alert strip at the top of your dashboard when you have unresolved conflicts.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why can't I move a test or exam?
Tests and exams are fixed events — they represent a real scheduled commitment. To change the date or time, go to Tests & Exams and edit the item there.

Why can't I move some of my study blocks?
Study blocks marked Completed or Not Done are locked: their date and times are a record of when the block was planned, so they stay put. You can still select one to see its details or delete it. See Rescheduling above.

I created a block but it's not showing.
Check that you're viewing the right week. Use the Today button to snap back to the current week, then navigate to the date you intended.

The calendar is showing the wrong timezone.
Your study items are stored in the app's timezone. Timezone personalisation per student profile is planned for a future release. If you notice consistent offset errors, contact your administrator.

Can my parent see my study blocks?
Yes — if your parent has a linked account, they can see your study schedule alongside family activities on their family calendar view.
