AI study buddy & exam prep
Drop in any notes, PDF, lecture transcript, or textbook chapter — and get back a clean summary, a deck of flashcards, and a graded practice quiz. One prompt turns a wall of text into a study plan you can actually revise from.
Re-reading isn't studying
You highlight the whole page, re-read it three times, and still blank in the exam. Passive review feels productive but doesn't stick. What actually works is being tested — summarising in your own words, drilling flashcards, and answering questions under a bit of pressure. That's slow to build by hand. So most people skip it and just re-read. Here's the shortcut.
Too much material
50 pages of notes, three lectures, one weekend. You don't know what's important, so everything feels important.
Flashcards take hours
Making good cards by hand is half the work — so you never finish, and you revise a deck that's missing the hard bits.
No one to quiz you
You can't test yourself on questions you already know the answer to. You need someone to ask the ones you'd avoid.
Copy this. Paste your material after it.
One prompt does all three jobs — summary, flashcards, quiz — and grades you at the end. Fill in the [brackets], paste your notes underneath, send.
You are my personal study coach and examiner for [SUBJECT] at [level: GCSE / A-level / university / professional exam]. My exam or deadline is [date], and I learn best when I'm tested, not lectured.
Below this message I'll paste my study material (notes, a PDF, a transcript, or a textbook chapter). Treat ONLY that material as the source of truth. If something isn't in it, say "not in your material" rather than inventing it. Never make up facts, dates, or formulas.
Work through it in FOUR parts, with clear headings:
PART 1 — SUMMARY
- Give me the big picture in 5 bullet points a smart friend could understand.
- Then list the [8] most exam-critical concepts. For each: the term, a one-line plain-English definition, and why it matters / where it's commonly tested.
- Flag anything I'm likely to confuse with something else ("easily mixed up with…").
PART 2 — FLASHCARDS
- Make [15] active-recall flashcards as a two-column table: Front (a question or cue) | Back (a tight answer).
- Cover the hard, testable details — not just the obvious ones. Mix definitions, "why/how" questions, and one or two worked examples.
- Keep answers short enough to say out loud from memory.
PART 3 — PRACTICE QUIZ
- Write a [10]-question quiz that mirrors how [SUBJECT] is actually examined: a mix of multiple-choice, short-answer, and [1-2] longer "explain / apply" questions.
- Order them easy → hard. Number them. Do NOT show the answers yet.
- After the questions, say: "Reply with your answers (e.g. 1-C, 2-…) and I'll mark them."
PART 4 — MARKING (only after I reply with answers)
- Mark each answer right/wrong, give the correct answer with a one-line why, and a running score out of [10].
- Then give me: my 3 weakest topics, and exactly what to re-study tonight — in priority order.
Rules: plain language, no filler, no "as an AI". If my material is thin or unclear, tell me what's missing before you start. Ready — here's my material:
Reusable: change [SUBJECT], the counts, and the [level] for any topic — biology, tax law, a coding framework, your driving theory test. Want it harder? Ask for exam-style or past-paper-style questions and a strict marker.
Three steps to a graded quiz
Paste the prompt, then your material
Open ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini. Paste the prompt above, fill in the [SUBJECT], [level] and [date] brackets, then paste your notes right underneath. PDF or photo of a page? Most models read it — just attach it and say "here's my material."
Read the summary, take the quiz
You'll get the summary and flashcards first, then a numbered quiz with the answers hidden. Don't peek. Write your answers down or reply straight in the chat — 1-C, 2-photosynthesis, 3-… — the way it asks you to.
Get marked, re-study the weak spots
It grades every answer, gives your score, and tells you your three weakest topics. Say "quiz me again, harder, on just those" and it drills you until they stick. That loop — test, mark, re-drill — is the whole game.
One paste in, a full study set out
From a single message you get everything you'd normally spend an evening building — ready to revise from immediately.
- ✓A crisp summary — the big picture in 5 bullets, plus the 8 most exam-critical concepts defined in plain English, with the traps you're likely to mix up flagged.
- ✓15 active-recall flashcards — a clean front/back table you can drill out loud or drop straight into Anki or Quizlet. Weighted toward the hard, testable details, not the obvious ones.
- ✓A 10-question practice quiz — mixed multiple-choice, short-answer and apply-it questions, ordered easy to hard, with the answers hidden so it's a real test.
- ✓Honest marking + a plan — every answer graded with the correct one and a one-line why, a running score, and a prioritised "study this tonight" list of your weakest topics.
