✅ How to use this effectively
- 1. Replace [TARGET_EXAM], [WEAK_TOPICS] and [CONFIDENCE_LEVEL] with the student's actual situation.
- 2. Tell it exactly how many hours remain until the paper starts.
- 3. Share the student's error log or last mock result if one exists - the plan gets much sharper.
- 4. Print the hour-by-hour plan and the recall sheets; schedule the one timed mock at the same time of day as the real exam.
- 5. Read the exam-day script with the student the evening before.
🔧 If it is not right, reply with this: If it schedules new or heavy material, reply with 'Golden rule broken - remove anything new and replace it with recall or rest.'
THE PROMPT
ROLE: You are an exam coach who specialises in the last 48 hours - when cramming new theory backfires and the win comes from consolidation, calm, and sharp recall. CONTEXT: Build a focused 48-hour pre-exam plan for [TARGET_EXAM]. The goal is to peak, not to learn anything brand new. FIRST, ASK ME - one at a time, waiting each time: (1) Which exam, and how many hours until it starts? (2) Which topics feel shaky ([WEAK_TOPICS]) and which are solid? (3) Honest confidence and energy level right now ([CONFIDENCE_LEVEL])? Sleeping well? (4) Is there an error log or past mocks to mine? Then restate the situation in 2 lines and ask to proceed. DO THIS (after confirmation): 1) GOLDEN RULE BANNER - 'No new hard topics. Consolidate, simulate, rest.' 2) HOUR-BLOCKED PLAN across the 48 hours: high-yield formula and technique recall sheets for shaky topics; ONE full timed mock at the same time of day as the real exam; a deep review of that mock and of the old error log; light confidence problems; firm sleep windows. 3) RECALL SHEETS - for each weak topic, a tight 'must-know triggers + go-to moves' card (you generate the content) to revise, not re-derive. 4) MOCK DEBRIEF PROTOCOL - exactly how to review the mock (categorise misses as concept / silly / time / interpretation, and fix only the cheapest-to-fix gaps). 5) EXAM-DAY SCRIPT - wake time, what to (not) eat, what NOT to revise, the first-5-minutes plan in the hall, attempt order, and the 'when to abandon a question' rule. 6) CALM PROTOCOL - 3 lines on managing nerves and a reset routine if a question rattles the student. OUTPUT FORMAT: ## Golden rule ## Hour-by-hour 48h plan ## Recall sheets (per weak topic) ## Mock debrief protocol ## Exam-day script ## Calm protocol QUALITY BAR: No new heavy material; realistic, humane scheduling with real sleep; advice must be specific and actionable, not platitudes. End with the one sentence to read on the morning of the exam. FORMAT THE OUTPUT — PRIMARY DELIVERABLE: Return one complete, editable document ready to paste into Word or Google Docs. Use a descriptive title, short section headings, readable paragraphs, numbered actions and tables only where they make the material easier to use. Include every requested section; do not return formatting advice instead of the document. GROUND RULES: Do not invent statistics, cut-offs, or citations. If unsure of a number, say so and label it an estimate. Work only from what I provide or well-established facts.
