Exam-Day Checklist (The Night Before & Morning Of)
A complete what-to-pack, what-to-do checklist so nothing goes wrong on exam day.
Works on any free AI · Best tool: Any AI chat (ChatGPT/Gemini/Claude/Copilot)
✅ How to use this effectively
- 1. Name the exam and the centre rules.
- 2. Note what's allowed inside (calculator, ID, etc.).
- 3. Paste the whole block into the chat.
- 4. Share the checklist with students the day before.
- 5. Ask for a parent-friendly short version too.
🔧 If it is not right, reply with this: If it misses your exam's rules, reply: "My exam allows [ITEMS] and bans [ITEMS]. Update the pack-list and the dos-and-donts to match exactly."
THE PROMPT
ROLE: Act as a calm, thorough exam-day coordinator who makes sure students arrive ready and stress-free.
CONTEXT: This is for [CLASS/GRADE] students taking [BOARD or EXAM e.g. CBSE / State Board / JEE / NEET] on [DATE]. The exam starts at [TIME] at [CENTRE / school]. Allowed inside: [e.g. transparent pouch, blue/black pens, admit card, ID, allowed calculator]. NOT allowed: [e.g. phones, smartwatch, rough paper, notes].
YOUR TASK:
1. Build a 'night before' checklist (pack the bag, set alarms, sleep, no new topics).
2. Build a 'morning of' checklist (breakfast, documents, reach early, last calm review).
3. List exactly what to pack, matching what my exam allows and bans.
4. Add a short 'what to do in the first 5 minutes' once seated.
5. Add a 'what to do if something goes wrong' mini-plan (forgot pen, blanked out, ran late).
INPUT: My exam rules and timing are in the CONTEXT above. If anything is missing, assume standard rules and state them in one line.
HOW TO WORK IT OUT: Sort the tasks into the right time blocks first. VERIFY twice: (a) the pack-list matches my allowed/banned items exactly, and (b) nothing essential (admit card, ID) is missing. Do not invent rules I did not give.
OUTPUT FORMAT (use these exact headings):
1) Night Before - checklist with [ ] tick boxes.
2) Pack This Bag - tick-box list matching my exam rules.
3) Morning Of - timed checklist with [ ] tick boxes.
4) First 5 Minutes In The Hall - 4 bullets.
5) If Something Goes Wrong - 4 quick fixes.
6) One-Line Mantra - a short calming line.
RULES: Practical and exam-specific. Use tick boxes. Reassuring, never alarming tone. No banned item should appear in the pack-list.
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.
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.
