AI prompts for exam revision and practice

Revision works when you pull facts out of your memory, not when you read them again. An AI assistant can ask you questions without tiring, which makes it a handy revision partner. Give it the text of your own chapter so that the questions match what you will actually be examined on.

The prompts

Quiz me

Quiz me on the text below. Ask one question at a time and wait for my answer. Tell me whether I was right, give the correct answer from the text in one line, and then ask the next. Mix easy and hard questions. After ten questions, tell me my score and which parts I should read again.

[PASTE THE TEXT FROM YOUR BOOK OR NOTES]

Replace the parts in [CAPITALS] first, or after pasting.

Make flashcards

Make [NUMBER] flashcards from the text below. Format each as "Q:" on one line and "A:" on the next. One fact per card. Use the wording of the text for definitions, formulas and dates. Do not add facts that are not in the text.

[PASTE THE TEXT]

Replace the parts in [CAPITALS] first, or after pasting.

Practice questions by type

From the text below, set a practice paper for class [CLASS] [SUBJECT]: five one-mark questions, three short-answer questions and two long-answer questions. Do not give the answers now. I will ask for them after I have tried.

[PASTE THE TEXT]

Replace the parts in [CAPITALS] first, or after pasting.

Check my answer

Here is a question, the relevant text from my book, and my answer. Compare my answer with the text. Tell me what is correct, what is missing and what is wrong. Then show how I could improve it. Do not simply write a model answer.

Question: [THE QUESTION]
Text from my book: [PASTE IT]
My answer: [PASTE YOUR ANSWER]

Replace the parts in [CAPITALS] first, or after pasting.

A revision timetable

Make a revision timetable for me.

Exam dates: [SUBJECT AND DATE FOR EACH]
Days left: [NUMBER]
Hours I can study each day: [NUMBER, AND WHEN]
Subjects or chapters I find hardest: [LIST]

Give harder subjects more time and earlier slots. Include short breaks, one lighter day a week and a final revision before each paper. Show it as a table by day.

Replace the parts in [CAPITALS] first, or after pasting.

Memory aids

I need to remember this list in order: [THE LIST]. Suggest three memory aids: a sentence made from the first letters, a short story linking the items, and a way of grouping them. Keep them simple, and in [ENGLISH / HINDI].

How to adapt these prompts

Paste your own material. Questions made from your textbook match your exam. Questions from the assistant's general knowledge may not.
Name the question styles your paper uses, such as multiple choice, fill in the blanks, assertion and reason, or numerical problems.
Raise the difficulty. After a round, say "Now ask harder questions that need two facts to answer".
Revise weak areas. Tell it "I got the questions on [TOPIC] wrong, ask five more on that".
For numericals, ask it to show each step, and check the arithmetic yourself. Assistants make calculation slips.
Adjust the timetable. If the plan is unrealistic, say so: "I cannot study after nine at night" and ask for a new one.

Use past papers too

An assistant does not know the pattern, marking scheme or weightage of your examination unless you give it, and it should not be trusted to recall them. For those, use the official syllabus, sample papers and past papers from your board or university. Practise with the real papers under timed conditions as well.

When the assistant marks your answer, treat its opinion as a second reading, not a grade. It may accept a wrong answer or reject a right one that is worded differently. Where it matters, check with the book or ask your teacher.
