Exam preparation reminder on WhatsApp
Updated .
An exam preparation reminder on WhatsApp is a daily nudge to study at a set time, plus countdown messages as the exam gets closer. With Mindie, send "every day at 6pm until 10 December remind me to revise for 1 hour" and it arrives every evening until the exam, then stops.
Most revision problems are timing problems. The syllabus looks manageable a month out, and suddenly it's three days away with half the topics untouched.

A daily study slot
Countdown to the exam
The night before
What to set
- A daily study slot at the same time each day, ending on the exam date.
- Countdown reminders two weeks and one week out, to check where you are.
- The night before, to pack the admit card, ID, pens and anything else you need.
Why revision gets left late
- The exam feels far away until it suddenly isn't.
- No fixed time. "I'll study tonight" competes with everything else that happens tonight.
- Big topics feel too big. Without a list, it's hard to see progress.
Habits that help
- Keep a topics list. Ask Mindie to keep a revision list, and tick topics off as you finish them.
- Same time, every day. A consistent slot is easier to keep than a long session now and then.
- Pack the night before. A forgotten admit card can end the day before it starts.
How Mindie handles it
Send the daily reminder with an end date, and the one-off countdown reminders with their dates. Mindie confirms each one and messages you on schedule. Ask "what topics are left on my revision list?" whenever you plan a session.
What Mindie doesn't do
- It doesn't teach or quiz you. It keeps the schedule and the list.
- It doesn't message parents or teachers.
Questions
Can the daily study reminder stop after the exam?
Yes. Add "until 10 December" and Mindie stops the daily reminders after that date.
Can I keep a list of topics to revise?
Yes. Ask Mindie to keep a list of topics, tick them off as you finish, and ask for what's left.
Can a parent set reminders for their child?
Mindie only messages the person whose chat it is. A student can have their own account, or a parent can set reminders for themselves to check in.
Can I set a different topic for each day?
Yes. Send each day's topic as its own reminder, or a voice note listing the plan, and Mindie sets them after checking with you.
Can I set a countdown to the exam date?
There's no countdown screen, but you can set reminders at 30 days, 7 days and the night before.
This page explains how to set the reminder with Mindie. It isn't financial, legal or medical advice; check dates and doses with the people who set them. Checked on 31 October 2026.
