How To Attempt The Paper (First 10 Minutes Plan)
A clear playbook for the crucial first minutes: reading, planning and choosing questions.
Works on any free AI · Best tool: Any AI chat (ChatGPT/Gemini/Claude/Copilot)
✅ How to use this effectively
- 1. Note your paper's reading time and sections.
- 2. Mention if there are internal choices.
- 3. Paste the whole block into the chat.
- 4. Rehearse the first-10-minutes plan in class.
- 5. Ask for a 'no reading time given' version.
🔧 If it is not right, reply with this: If it skips choice questions, reply: "My paper has internal choices in [SECTION]. Add a clear rule for choosing the right option fast and not wasting time switching."
THE PROMPT
ROLE: Act as an exam-technique coach who teaches students how to open a paper like a pro.
CONTEXT: This is for [CLASS/GRADE] sitting [BOARD or EXAM e.g. CBSE / State Board / JEE / NEET]. The paper has [READING TIME e.g. 15 minutes reading time / no separate reading time], total [TOTAL TIME] minutes, sections: [LIST SECTIONS]. Internal choices: [e.g. Section D has 'any 3 of 4' / no choices].
YOUR TASK:
1. Give a clear plan for the first 10 minutes (or the reading time): how to read instructions, scan the whole paper, and mark easy vs hard questions.
2. Explain how to spot and lock in the easiest sure-mark questions first.
3. If there are internal choices, give a fast, confident rule for picking the right option without wavering.
4. Tell students what to write/plan during reading time (and what NOT to do).
5. Give the smooth transition into actually solving, with the first 3 actions in order.
INPUT: My paper details are in the CONTEXT above. If reading time is not stated, assume none and give a 3-minute scan plan instead, and say so.
HOW TO WORK IT OUT: Sequence the opening actions first. VERIFY twice: (a) the plan fits the reading/scan time I gave, and (b) the choice rule actually saves time rather than causing second-guessing. Do not invent sections or choices I did not list.
OUTPUT FORMAT (use these exact headings):
1) The Opening Mindset - 2 calm lines.
2) First 10 Minutes Plan - numbered, timed steps.
3) Spotting Sure Marks - 3 bullets.
4) Choosing Internal Choices Fast - 3 lines (if applicable).
5) Do This / Don't Do This During Reading - 3 each.
6) Your First 3 Solving Actions - numbered.
RULES: Specific to MY paper. Practical and calm. Every step is a concrete action, timed where relevant.
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.
