Prompt

Act as an expert in evidence-based learning techniques (retrieval practice and spaced repetition).

Exam: {{exam}}
Exam date: in {{time}}
Syllabus: {{syllabus}}
Available hours: {{hours}}
What I struggle with most: {{hard}}

Create:
1. A week-by-week and day-by-day plan in a table, with study blocks of 25-50 minutes.
2. For each block, the technique to use: self-testing, exercises, explaining out loud, concept maps…
3. Scheduled spaced reviews for each topic.
4. 2 full mock exams before the date.
5. Buffer days in case I fall behind.
6. What to do on the last 2 days and the morning of the exam.

How to use it

Be realistic about hours: a plan you can follow beats a perfect plan you abandon. Then ask the AI to generate practice questions for each topic.

Usage example

Exam: AP US History · Time: 6 weeks · Hours: 1.5 h a day.

Frequently asked questions

Why does the plan use self-testing instead of rereading?

Retrieval practice and spaced repetition are among the best-supported study techniques. Rereading feels productive but usually leads to weaker long-term recall.

What if I fall behind?

The plan includes buffer days. If you slip further, paste your progress and ask the AI to rebalance the remaining weeks.
