64-Day Study Tracker

The Aug 18 – Oct 20 plan, day by day. Each day carries its own topics and objectives out of CFP-Study-Plan-2026 — log what you actually did and the plan's own targets tell you whether you're on pace. Saves on this device first and syncs to your others, so it works offline too.

The daily shape

Weekday — 5 hours	What you do
0:00 – 0:15	Formula sheet + annual limits. Every single day, no exceptions.
0:15 – 1:30	Topic block A — the first one or two topics listed for today. KB study guide plus the matching Kaplan slides.
1:30 – 1:40	Break. Actually take it.
1:40 – 2:55	Topic block B — the rest of today's topics.
2:55 – 3:05	Break.
3:05 – 4:20	50 practice questions on today's topics. From Phase 2 on, timed at 90 seconds each.
4:20 – 5:00	Review every miss. Write the actual cause — not "careless." The real reason.

Saturday, 6 hrs: 100 questions plus consolidation — no new topics. Sunday, 4 hrs: the deliberately lighter day, 80 questions and a sweep of the week's misses. Mock days replace the shape entirely at 7 hours.

Standing dailies, on top of the shape: 10 math questions, 15 min on the CFP Standards, 15 min on annual limits, 15 min on mnemonics — 45 minutes plus the maths, every day. The limits block absorbs the plan's own 0:00–0:15 habit; the 10 math questions are extra and don't count toward the day's question target.

Module coverage map

All 54 modules across the six books, and the days each is covered — read straight off the plan's own module refs. Nothing is orphaned.

Non-negotiables

The error log is the engine. Every miss gets a written cause — the actual reason, not "careless." Re-attempt at 7 days and 21 days.
Ten minutes of formula sheet and annual limits, every day, all 64 days. The cheapest habit in the plan and the one most often dropped.
90 seconds per question from Phase 2 onward. 170 questions across two 3-hour blocks is 2:07 each with no slack — time pressure is a real failure mode, not a detail.
Sunday is the lighter day, by design — 4 hours against the weekday 5. Retention over 64 days depends on it. It is part of the plan, not a concession.
Keep the question bank builder running. The bank holds 422 today; at 50–100 attempts a day you exhaust it inside a week. Build toward 1,500 before Labor Day.

Every day, topic, objective and target on this page comes from CFP-Study-Plan-2026.docx (revised August 18, 2026) in advising/cfp-study/ — 64 days, 310 hours, 3,750 questions, which is exactly what the day table sums to. The plan ends Tue Oct 20; exam-facts.md cites a CFP Board testing window of October 29 – November 5 and the seat date is not yet confirmed, so the countdown runs to the end of the plan, not to an assumed exam day.
