Help Me Prepare for a Test

Use your own notes and study material to build a focused revision plan, practise active recall and turn mistakes into useful follow-up practice.

Step 01

Build my revision plan

Build a Test Revision Plan From My Material

Build a realistic revision plan from the material you actually need to learn, your available time and the topics that need the most attention.

Help me build a focused revision plan for a test using the material I provide. My context: - Subject: [SUBJECT] - Test or assessment: [TEST TYPE, IF KNOWN] - Test date: [DATE, IF KNOWN] - Time I can realistically revise: [TIME AVAILABLE] - Topics I already feel confident about: [OPTIONAL] - Topics I find difficult: [OPTIONAL] I will paste or attach my notes, syllabus, textbook pages, topic list or other study material. Your task: 1. Identify the topics and skills the supplied material suggests I need to know. 2. Group overlapping material so the plan is not repetitive. 3. Prioritise what to revise using: - importance in the supplied material; - my stated confidence; - dependencies, where one topic needs to be understood before another. 4. Build a realistic revision sequence using the time I have available. 5. For each revision block, tell me: - what to focus on; - what I should be able to do by the end; - one suitable activity, such as active recall, practice questions or explaining the idea aloud. 6. Include short review points so I revisit difficult material rather than seeing it only once. 7. Finish with a compact priority list: Fix first / Review next / Maintain. Important: - Base the plan on the material and constraints I give you. - Do not invent syllabus requirements that are not supported by my material. - If my available time is too limited to cover everything properly, say so and prioritise rather than pretending it all fits. - Keep the plan practical. Do not fill every hour of my day. Study material: [PASTE OR ATTACH MATERIAL]

Step 02

Create active recall questions

Turn My Notes Into Active Recall Questions

Turn your own notes into active-recall questions that make you retrieve, explain and apply what you have learned instead of simply rereading it.

Turn the study notes or learning material I provide into active-recall questions. My context: - Subject: [SUBJECT] - My age/year/grade or learning level: [LEVEL] - Assessment type, if relevant: [OPTIONAL] Use my material as the source. Create questions that make me retrieve the information rather than recognise it from a list. Build the question set in three groups: 1. Recall - key facts, terms, formulas, dates, definitions or steps. 2. Explain - questions that make me explain why, how, cause and effect, relationships or meaning in my own words. 3. Apply - short scenarios, comparisons, examples or calculations where the subject supports them. For each question: - keep the wording clear and appropriate to my level; - make sure it can be answered from the supplied material; - avoid trivial wording changes that test the same fact repeatedly. Do not show the answers in the main question list. After the questions, add a separate section called "Answer guide" containing concise answers or marking points so I can check myself later. Important: - Do not add facts that are not supported by my material. - If part of the material is unclear, flag it instead of turning it into a confident question. - Favour useful coverage over producing a huge number of questions.

Step 03

Test me one question at a time

Test Me One Question at a Time

Practise from your own study material one question at a time, with feedback after each answer and difficulty that adapts to how you are doing.

Test me on the study material I provide, one question at a time. My context: - Subject: [SUBJECT] - My level: [AGE / YEAR / GRADE / COURSE LEVEL] - What I want to practise most: [OPTIONAL] Rules for the practice: 1. Base every question on the material I provide. 2. Ask only one question at a time and wait for my answer. 3. Do not reveal the answer before I attempt it. 4. After I answer, tell me briefly: - what I got right; - what is missing or inaccurate; - the corrected or stronger answer, if needed. 5. Then ask the next question. 6. Adjust the difficulty based on my answers: do not keep giving easy questions if I am secure, and do not jump ahead when I am struggling with a foundation. 7. Mix recall, explanation and application where appropriate to the subject. 8. Keep track of repeated weaknesses. After [NUMBER OF QUESTIONS, OR 10 IF I DO NOT SPECIFY] questions, stop and summarise: - Strong areas - Areas to revisit - The 3 most useful things to practise next If the supplied material does not contain enough information to judge one of my answers, say so rather than guessing.

Step 04

Turn mistakes into new practice

Turn My Mistakes Into New Practice Questions

Turn the mistakes you have already made into fresh, targeted practice so you work on the underlying weakness rather than repeat the same questions.

Create new practice questions from the mistakes I have made. I will give you some combination of: - questions I attempted; - my answers; - corrections, marks or feedback; - the source material I am studying. My context: - Subject: [SUBJECT] - Level: [AGE / YEAR / GRADE / COURSE LEVEL] First, identify the underlying weaknesses shown by the evidence. Group similar mistakes together rather than treating every wrong answer as a separate problem. Then create a small targeted practice set that: - tests the same knowledge or skill in a different way; - does not simply copy or lightly reword the original questions; - includes an easier foundation question where I seem confused; - includes a standard question at my expected level; - includes a slightly different application question where appropriate. Do not show the answers beside the questions. After the practice set, add a separate answer guide with: - the correct answer or marking points; - a short explanation of what the question was testing; - the mistake I should avoid repeating. Rules: - Base the diagnosis and practice on the evidence I provide. - Do not invent weaknesses merely to create more questions. - If one mistake looks careless rather than conceptual, say so. - Keep the set focused; quality matters more than volume.
