The Board Exam Revision Calendar in Excel puts a full year of revision sessions, mock tests, pre-boards and board papers into one macro-enabled workbook. This board exam revision calendar ships with 100 sample events dated 5 January to 31 December 2026, spread over 7 subject and room locations, and shows them on five linked pages: Annual View, Monthly View, Daily View, This Month and Events.
🌍 Built by NextGenTemplates, the store behind more than 7,000 Excel, Google Sheets and Power BI templates for teachers, coaching centres and small teams that prefer a one-time file to a monthly subscription.
✅ Instant download · One-time payment · No subscription · No per-user fees · Lifetime access
⚠️ Requirements: desktop Microsoft Excel for Windows with macros enabled. The entry form, record buttons and the Daily View refresh are VBA macros, so Excel for the web, Mac, iPad and phones cannot run them.
🔑 Key Features of the Board Exam Revision Calendar
📅 Annual View for the whole year. All twelve months of 2026 sit on one page, and every date that holds a revision event is shaded, so a teacher or student can spot crowded weeks before the board papers begin. Sundays are greyed out.
🗓️ Monthly View with the event name in each day. Pick a month and a year from the two selectors and the grid writes in the name of every event that month, for example Physics Revision Session 1 on 8 January and Weekly Mock Test 1 on 27 January.
📋 Daily View for any date range. Set a Start Date and an End Date with the calendar pickers, press refresh and the sheet lists ID, date, day, event name, time, location and description for that window.
📈 This Month Summary. Four cards count Events This Month, Active Days, Locations Used and events in the Next 7 Days. Two tables break the month down by day of week and by the top 5 locations, and a list shows every event in the month.
🧾 Events sheet with Add, Update and Delete buttons. All 100 records live in one table with seven columns, so every view reads from the same source.
✍️ Data entry form. Date and time pickers, the weekday filled in automatically, plus Event Name, Location and Description boxes with Submit and Reset.
🎨 Setting sheet. Change the year, the starting month, the week start day, the two highlighted weekdays, event highlighting on or off, and five colour themes (Default, Blue, Red, Black, Orange).
🏠 Home menu. Five large buttons jump to Annual View, Monthly View, Daily View, This Month and Events, and every page carries a home icon to come back.

📚 The Sample Revision Year
The 100 fictional events follow a typical school board cycle so you can see how a real plan looks before you replace it:
- 📘 January: revision timetable launch, subject revision sessions, a formula sheet handout, a weekly mock test and a doubt clearing clinic.
- 📝 February to March: pre-board papers in Mathematics and Science, then seven board papers from English on 26 February to Physics on 24 March, each with quick revision around it.
- 📊 April to July: answer key reviews, result preparation, provisional results, re-evaluation help, a compartment exam briefing and bridge sessions for the new session.
- 🧪 August to December: monthly mock tests, half-yearly revision and exams in September, intensive revision, sample paper marathons and a winter break revision plan.
Locations double as subject rooms: Study Hall (26 events), Physics (16), Mathematics (14), Library (13), Chemistry (12), English (10) and Biology (9). Every date has at most one event and every weekday label matches its date. The dates are samples, not an official board date sheet, so always copy your own board’s published timetable into the Events sheet.

👥 Who This Template Is For, and Who It’s Not For
✅ Good fit: Class 10 and Class 12 teachers, exam coordinators, coaching and tuition centres, and parents or students who want one yearly plan for revision sessions, mock tests and board papers.
❌ Not a fit: anyone who needs student-level marks, attendance, syllabus completion percentages, automatic reminders or a shared online calendar. This is a planning workbook, not a learning management system.
