reading week
Pre-exam study period
Reading week is a scheduled break from classes at universities, typically falling in the middle of a term, intended to give students time to catch up on coursework, prepare for exams, or complete assignments.
In practice, many students treat it as a vacation: I'm going skiing during reading week.
The timing and name vary by institution—some call it spring break or study week.
