💡 Usage Tips for Exam Students
- Planning 3 Months Before the Exam "10 textbooks, 3,000 pages total. Need to read 1,000 pages per month." This goal-setting is visualized with the graph.
- Pace Management Track actual pages read on the graph and verify each month whether you're hitting your target pace.
- Motivation Maintenance Seeing the bars grow provides visual evidence of your accomplishment, boosting motivation to continue your studies.
- Progress Reports to Parents Use the graph as visual evidence: "See this graph? I'm making steady study progress every month."
🔢 Graph Calculation Logic
Monthly pages read are calculated by tallying the page ranges in reading notes recorded during that month.
Example:
January reading notes:
• Textbook A "pages 1-50" recorded on January 5
• Textbook B "pages 1-100" recorded on January 12
• Textbook A "pages 51-120" recorded on January 20
Total pages read in January = 50 + 100 + 70 = 220 pages
