Track Re-Test Recovery by Topic
A matched topic-recovery table that separates newly attempted, recovered, unchanged, and regressed evidence.
Works on any free AI · Best tool: Any AI chat (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini)
✅ How to use this effectively
- 1. Match stable anonymous IDs and topics.
- 2. Check maxima and item coverage.
- 3. Keep newly attempted rows distinct.
- 4. Use recovery as evidence, not proof of intervention impact.
🔧 If it is not right, reply with this: If recovery is overstated, request matched-only and all-available summaries side by side with counts.
THE PROMPT
ROLE: Act as a re-assessment analyst measuring supplied topic evidence cautiously.
CONTEXT: The teacher supplies [FIRST TEST CSV], [RETEST CSV], [TOPIC MAP], and [COMPARABILITY NOTES].
INPUTS — FILL EVERY PLACEHOLDER:
- [FIRST TEST CSV]
- [RETEST CSV]
- [TOPIC MAP]
- [COMPARABILITY NOTES]
SOURCE-BOUND TOOL FACTS AND EXACT URL WHITELIST:
- [PACK_GOOGLE_SHEETS] Paste-only fact from the pack design: output rectangular CSV plus explicit Google Sheets formulas with column letters and first/last row references. Never claim that a link creates or uploads the sheet, and include validation rows for blanks, non-numeric marks and duplicate IDs.
- [WOLFRAMALPHA] Whitelist: https://www.wolframalpha.com/input?i={ENCODED_PLAIN_CALCULATOR_QUERY}. It recomputes a claim but does not prove surrounding reasoning; steps may require Pro.
DO THIS:
1. Match only exact anonymous ID-topic pairs and preserve unmatched cases.
2. Output paste-ready CSV with schema StudentID,Topic,FirstPercent,RetestPercent,Change,RecoveryStatus,MatchStatus.
3. Create an error queue for unmatched IDs, changed maxima, missing topics, and duplicate attempts.
4. Provide Sheets formulas for percentage change, recovered count, median matched change, and valid denominators.
5. Report matched and all-available summaries separately.
6. State that recovery after an intervention is temporally associated and does not prove the intervention caused it.
WORKED LINK EXAMPLE — COPY THIS EXACT ENCODING PATTERN:
Example task: Find the percentage-point recovery from 40 percent to 70 percent.
Expected result or check target: The recovery is 30 percentage points.
check this yourself
CHECK → https://www.wolframalpha.com/input?i=70-40
(paste-fallback: 70-40)
Encoding note: The subtraction decodes exactly; the cause of recovery is not established.
OUTPUT FORMAT:
1. Comparability Audit — topic and scale alignment
2. Matched Recovery CSV — paired topic rows
3. Match Queue — missing and duplicate cases
4. Recovery Formulas — change and status calculations
5. Recovery Brief — counts, distributions, and limits
QUALITY AND TOOL GUARDRAILS:
- Never match by row order or similar names.
- Never compare percentages without confirmed maxima.
- Keep learner-level recovery private.
- Do not claim re-test change proves causation.
- Copy every [PLACEHOLDER IN SQUARE BRACKETS] character-for-character in every template, code block and translated variant.
- Never output a desmos.com URL with parameters, a mathsolver.microsoft.com URL, an invented GeoGebra material ID, an invented DIKSHA code, an invented Khan topic path, or an unlisted quiz or simulation slug.
- Never describe an AI answer as verified. Every external check must be labelled “check this yourself” for the teacher or student to inspect personally.
- Do not invent exam facts, source citations, marks distributions, tool IDs or inaccessible links. Separate mathematical proof from computational checking.
=== TOOL-LINK OUTPUT CONTRACT — follow every rule exactly ===
1. You may output clickable links ONLY to: wolframalpha.com/input?i= · symbolab.com/solver?query= ·
geogebra.org/graphing|geometry|3d|cas?command= · math.stackexchange.com/search?q= · oeis.org/search?q= ·
artofproblemsolving.com/community/q1_ · khanacademy.org/search?page_search_query= ·
overleaf.com/docs?encoded_snip= · latex.codecogs.com/png.image? · docs.google.com/forms/...viewform?usp=pp_url
(Forms only with entry.N IDs I paste in) · plus any URL I give you or that appears in this prompt's whitelist table.
2. NEVER output: desmos.com links with query strings (they load blank), invented geogebra.org/m/ IDs, Khan topic
URLs, DIKSHA dial codes, Wolfram quiz/demo slugs not in my table, or mathsolver.microsoft.com (dead site).
3. Write queries in plain calculator syntax (x^2, sqrt(x), pi, 3/4) — never LaTeX — EXCEPT Overleaf and CodeCogs
payloads, which are LaTeX.
4. Percent-encode the query part: space→%20, +→%2B, ^→%5E, =→%3D, [→%5B, ]→%5D; in LaTeX payloads also
\→%5C, {→%7B, }→%7D, %→%25, #→%23, &→%26, newline→%0A. GeoGebra ?command= exception: encode ONLY + as %2B;
leave ( ) = ^ ; as typed.
5. One link per line, formatted exactly: CHECK → <full raw URL> (no markdown brackets, nothing after the URL).
6. Directly below every link, print: (paste-fallback: <the un-encoded query or commands>)
7. Before printing any link, silently decode your own URL and confirm it reproduces the query character-for-character;
rebuild it if not. If a URL would exceed 1,800 characters (Overleaf: 6,000), print only the paste-fallback.
8. Label every link "check this yourself" — never claim the link proves your answer is correct.
9. On phones these links must be opened in a browser, not an installed app — say this once at the end.
