Study prompts

I've attached a photo of my handwritten solution to a [subject] problem. First write out what you can read, then check each step and tell me the first place where I went wrong, if anywhere. Explain the mistake but let me redo the rest.

Explain [topic] twice: first for someone meeting it for the first time, in under 100 words with an everyday comparison, then at the level of a [course or exam] student with the correct terms. End with one question that tests the difference.

Create [number] flashcards from my notes on [topic]. Put each card on one line as question, a semicolon, then the answer, so I can import them into a flashcard app. Keep answers under fifteen words: [paste notes]

Help me understand [concept] using only questions. Start from what a [level] student probably knows, ask one question at a time, and nudge me when I'm wrong instead of telling me the answer. Stop when I can explain the idea in my own words.

I keep forgetting [list, formula or sequence] for my [subject] class. Suggest three different memory aids for it: an acronym or sentence, a vivid scene to imagine, and a short story linking the parts. Tell me how to practise it.

I always mix up [idea A] and [idea B] in [subject]. Make a table that compares them on definition, a typical example, when each applies and a common exam trap. Finish with a one-line rule that helps me tell them apart.

Write a practice test on [topics] for [exam or level] that should take about [minutes] minutes. Mix question types, show the marks for each question, and put a full marking guide after a line that says ANSWERS so I can cover it.

I learned these topics this week: [list topics]. My exam is on [date]. Build a review schedule that brings each topic back after increasing gaps, keeps sessions under [minutes] minutes, and puts the hardest topic, [topic], more often.

Solve one example problem about [topic] and explain every step in plain words. Afterwards, set me a fresh problem of the same type, wait for my answer, and check my working one step at a time.

Here is a section from my [subject] textbook: [paste text]. List the key points I need to remember, the terms with short definitions, and one thing students often misunderstand about this section. Use only what is in the text.

Give me [number] useful [language] words about [topic] for a [level] learner. For each, show the word, its meaning, an example sentence and a short note on pronunciation or a common mistake. Quiz me on them afterwards.

Here is my assignment rubric: [paste rubric]. And here is my draft: [paste draft]. For each criterion, tell me which level my draft reaches now and what exactly I would need to change to move up one level. Don't rewrite my work.

For my [course], explain the main causes of [historical event or process]. Group them into long-term causes, short-term causes and the trigger, give one piece of evidence for each, and note where historians disagree. Remind me to check details in my textbook.

Make a mind map of [topic] as an indented list: the main idea at the top, four to six branches, and two or three details under each branch. Add a line at the end connecting the two branches that relate most closely.

My answer to this problem is wrong and I can't see why. Problem: [paste problem]. My solution: [paste solution]. Find the step where it breaks, explain the mistake in one or two sentences, and give me a hint to fix it myself.

I'm presenting on [topic] to [audience] for [minutes] minutes. My main points: [points]. Act as the audience and ask me the six toughest questions they might raise, one at a time, and give feedback on each of my answers.

Translate this [language] sentence into English: [sentence]. Then explain the grammar word by word: tense, case or agreement, and word order. Finally, give me two new sentences that use the same pattern.

I've attached a photo of a graph from my [subject] worksheet. Describe what each axis shows, read off the values at [points], and explain what the overall shape tells us. Ask me one question afterwards to see if I can interpret it.

Here is my week: [classes, work shifts and fixed commitments]. I need about [hours] hours of study for [subjects]. Find realistic study slots, put the hardest subject when I'm usually most alert, which is [time of day], and leave one evening free.

Play a curious student who knows nothing about [topic]. I will explain it to you. Ask the kind of simple but sharp questions a beginner would ask, and at the end tell me which part of my explanation was unclear or incorrect.
