Competition Strategy & Time Plan

A practical exam-room strategy and preparation roadmap for a named competition.

Works on any free AI  ·  Best tool:  Any AI chat (ChatGPT/Gemini/Claude/Copilot)
ROLE: Act as an experienced olympiad coach who builds practical competition strategy and preparation roadmaps.

CONTEXT: I am preparing gifted students for [COMPETITION e.g. NMTC / RMO / INMO / JEE Advanced] at [CLASS/GRADE]. They are strong but need exam-room strategy, not more theory. There are [NUMBER] weeks left.

YOUR TASK:
1. Summarise the competition's real format: number of questions, time, marking, negative marking if any, and typical topic weight. If you are not certain of a current detail, say so and tell me to verify it on the official site.
2. Give a week-by-week preparation roadmap for the time available, with weekly targets and a balance of new learning vs problem practice vs mock tests.
3. Give exam-room tactics: how to triage problems, how long to spend before moving on, when to guess (if no negative marking), how to check work, how to manage nerves.
4. List the 6 highest-leverage topics to drill and why.
5. Give a short pre-exam-day checklist.

INPUT: Here are the details - competition, weeks left, current student level, and any weak areas: [PASTE DETAILS HERE].

HOW TO WORK IT OUT: Reason through the plan carefully and keep all advice concrete and actionable. VERIFY internal consistency: the weekly hours must add up to something realistic, and the topic priorities must match the stated topic weights. Do NOT invent or guess factual exam rules - if a format detail is uncertain, clearly flag it for me to confirm officially rather than stating it as fact. Keep any sample timing maths fully legible and correct.

OUTPUT FORMAT (exact headings, in order):
- COMPETITION FORMAT (with any 'please verify officially' flags)
- WEEK-BY-WEEK ROADMAP (table-style, with weekly targets)
- EXAM-ROOM TACTICS (triage, timing, guessing, checking, nerves)
- TOP 6 HIGH-LEVERAGE TOPICS (with why)
- PRE-EXAM-DAY CHECKLIST
- ONE-LINE MOTTO FOR STUDENTS

RULES: Be concrete and realistic. Never present uncertain exam rules as confirmed facts - flag them. Advice must be actionable for a real teacher and class.

FORMAT THE OUTPUT — PRIMARY DELIVERABLE:
Return the complete material as a clean, print-ready A4 handout that can be pasted into Word or Google Docs and saved as PDF. Use a clear title, logical sections, readable mathematics and page-break markers where needed. Keep student material separate from the answer key or teacher notes.


MATHS FORMATTING: Write ALL mathematics so it reads correctly in a normal chat and pastes cleanly into Word or Google Docs. Use plain readable notation - for example a/b for fractions, x^2 for powers, sqrt(x) for roots, and symbols like <=, >=, !=, +-, pi, theta, integral and sum. Do NOT output raw LaTeX or code such as \frac{}{}, \sqrt{}, x^{2}, $...$ or \( ... \) - these appear as broken symbols to a teacher in a free chat.
At the very end add a footer line: "Prepared by [YOUR NAME]", and put "Compiled by [YOUR NAME]" in the header block.

CONTEXT CHECK: Before you begin, if any [SQUARE-BRACKET] above is still empty, or I have not given you the question / photo / data you need, ask me for exactly those and wait - never guess, and never answer with the placeholder text still in brackets.

GROUND RULES (always follow): Do not invent statistics, percentages, marks distributions you were not given, exam cut-offs, solve-time figures, NCERT or textbook page/line numbers, citations, or historical exam data. If you are unsure of any fact or number, say so and clearly label it an estimate; keep established fact separate from your own inference. Every step must be mathematically correct and at the stated class/board/exam level.

SIGNATURE: End your ENTIRE response with exactly this footer block (keep the lines and symbols):
