Final Exams with AI: A Year-Long Plan from September to Study Leave

I'm planning my prep for my final exams and I want a schedule
built backward from my exam dates.

Dates (verified with my school):
- standardized tests: [date]
- essay exam: [date]
- oral exams: [week from-to]
- reading list submission: [date]
- last week of classes before study leave: [date]

My subjects: [native language, English, geography, social studies]
Number of topics: [native language 25, English 20,
geography 20, social studies 15]
Reading list: [20] books, [6] read so far
Today is [date].

Realistic time available for prep: [8] hours a week, [15]
hours a week during school breaks. Zero hours during these
periods: [ski trip, prom, college entrance exams on ...].

Build me a month-by-month schedule from today to exam day:
1. What should be done by the end of each month (a checkable
   output, not "study social studies").
2. How many topics a week that works out to, and whether it
   fits my available time.
3. Where the slack is for getting sick or falling behind.
4. Leave the last [4] weeks before each test free for review,
   not new topics.
5. List 6 milestones that would show the plan is slipping,
   and what to do if that happens.

If it doesn't fit my available time, say so directly and
suggest what to cut. Don't sugarcoat it.

I'm in the middle of my final-exam prep according to my
year-long plan. This week the plan has me covering: [topics /
tasks].

Status: last week I didn't get to [what], and this week I also
have [a math test on Wednesday, practice on Tuesday and
Thursday].
Free time: [list days and hours].

Plan me a concrete week:
- what I'm doing on which day and for how many minutes,
- what the top priority is if only three of the six blocks
  actually happen,
- where to fit in review of older topics (not just new
  material),
- leave one block for catching up on what I missed last week.

For each block, write a concrete action, not a topic — so
"go through topic 7 and recite it out loud," not "study
social studies."

Here's my list of final-exam topics for [subject], with my own
rating of where I stand on each one (1 = I know it and could
talk about it for 10 minutes, 2 = I know something but have
gaps, 3 = I barely know anything):

[paste the topics with ratings]

Turn this into a working plan:
1. Order the topics by the sequence I should study them in.
   Account for the fact that some build on others — a topic
   that's a prerequisite for another one comes first.
2. For each one, estimate how many hours of prep it needs
   based on my rating.
3. Flag topics that can be combined into a single study block
   because they overlap.
4. Flag topics that can mostly be learned by rote, and the
   ones where I need to understand the underlying connections
   — for each group, say which method to use to study them.
5. Add up the total estimated hours and compare it against the
   fact that I have [22] weeks at [8] hours each before the
   exam.

If the total doesn't add up, tell me what to do about it —
which topics to consciously shortchange, and why those specific
ones.

I'm working through exam topic [number and name] for [subject].
I'm attaching my source material: [class notes / a textbook
chapter / my notes].

[paste the material]

Build me the following FROM IT (don't add anything from your
own knowledge, and if the material doesn't cover something,
write TODO: what to look up):

1. AN OUTLINE for 10 minutes of speaking: 5-7 points in the
   order they should come up at the exam, with one sentence
   per point on what I should say there.
2. 10 FACTS I need to know precisely (dates, names, terms,
   numbers), in the format question;answer.
3. 3 CONNECTIONS to other topics on my list: [list of topics].
4. 3 FOLLOW-UP QUESTIONS I'll most likely get asked at the
   exam if I answer following that outline.
5. One sentence to open the topic with and one to close it.

I sat a practice standardized test in [subject] under real
conditions, [xx] minutes, scoring [xx] points out of [xx].

Here's the list of problems I got wrong or left blank. For
each one I've noted: problem number, the question, my answer,
the correct answer, and a note on what was going through my
head.

[paste the list]

Analyze EVERY mistake and sort it into one of these categories:
A) KNOWLEDGE — I didn't know the material or mixed it up
B) CARELESSNESS — I knew it, but the answer is wrong (missed
   a word in the question, a typo, a copying error, answered
   a different question than asked)
C) STRATEGY — a timing mistake: I ran out of time, got stuck,
   left something blank that I could have guessed at
D) THE QUESTION — I didn't understand what the problem was
   actually asking for

Then tell me:
1. What percentage of mistakes falls into each category.
2. For category A: which specific topics I need to study more,
   ranked by how many points they cost me.
3. For category B: what specific habit while taking the test
   would eliminate it (what to do differently, step by step).
4. For category C: how to budget my time on the next test.
5. For category D: what these questions have in common and
   how to read them.
6. One sentence: what I should focus on most next month.

Don't be polite about it, I want it straight.

I'm taking a standardized test in [subject]. The test has [xx]
problems worth [xx] points, [xx] minutes. Structure: [e.g. 10
closed-answer problems, 5 open-answer, 3 long-text problems].

From past tests I know: I run out of time on the last [4]
problems, I spend [15] minutes reading the long text and then
have to rush.

Suggest a test-taking strategy:
1. What order to solve the problems in, and why that order.
2. A maximum number of minutes per section, with checkpoints
   ("by the halfway mark I need to be at problem number X").
3. When to abandon a problem and come back to it later — how
   to tell when that's the right call.
4. What to do with problems I don't know: when to guess, when
   to leave it blank (account for whether wrong answers get
   penalized: [yes/no]).
5. The last 5 minutes: exactly what to check.

Write it as a checklist I can read right before the test that
fits on half a page.

Act as my examiner for my final exam in [subject] and quiz me
on topic [number and name]. We're talking by voice.

How this should go:
1. Give me the topic prompt and let me talk. Don't interrupt
   me until I finish or get stuck for more than 10 seconds.
2. If I get stuck, prompt me only with a question, never with
   the answer.
3. Once I'm done talking, ask me 3 follow-up questions of the
   kind that actually get asked at this exam — from easier to
   more uncomfortable.
4. Then give me feedback in four parts:
   - what I got right,
   - what I left out that should have been mentioned,
   - what I said wrong or imprecisely,
   - how I spoke (structure, pace, filler words).
5. Finally, suggest what I should study more on this topic.

Don't give me a grade — the exam board decides that, not you.
Be factual and rigorous, but not mocking.

I'm preparing for my oral exam in [native language / literature],
on the work [author, title], which I've read. Here are my own
notes:

[paste your notes: the plot in your own words, the characters,
what struck you, how the book affected you]

Help me turn these into exam prep following this structure:
1. Context within the author's body of work and era — from my
   notes; where something's missing, write TODO and what to
   look up in the textbook.
2. Theme, motifs, setting, structure, narrator, characters.
3. Literary devices I can point to during the analysis.
4. 5 questions I'm most likely to get asked about this work.
5. Three sentences of my own personal assessment that don't
   sound like they're copied from the internet.

Don't fill in information about the plot or characters from
your own knowledge. When something's missing from my notes,
write TODO so I can look it up in the book myself.

I'm training for my oral exam in [English], level [B1/B2].
Have a conversation with me on topic [topic from the list]
following the structure of the exam: [describe the parts —
e.g. picture description, individual presentation, interaction].

Rules:
- speak to me [in English], but at a pace that matches the
  exam,
- correct me only at the end of each part, not mid-sentence,
- at the end, give me: 5 mistakes I keep repeating, 10 words
  and phrases I needed and didn't know, and one piece of
  advice on structuring my answers,
- if I don't know how to say something, prompt me with a
  different phrasing, not a translation into my own language.

Write the final feedback in [your own language].

I'm training for the essay portion of my final exam. Give me
[3] practice prompts in the exam's format: a title, a form/genre,
a description of the situation, and a length of [xx] words.

Make the topics varied and matched to different forms:
[narrative, character sketch, opinion piece, report, open
letter, feature article].

For each prompt, ask me these questions and wait for my answers
before giving me the next one:
1. Which form is this, and how did you tell?
2. Who's the audience, and what tone does that call for?
3. What's your 4-point outline?

Once I answer, evaluate it: whether I identified the right form,
whether the outline fits the required length, and what you'd
change about it.
Don't write any text for me, not even a sample.

I'm attaching my practice essay for the prompt [prompt], form
[form], length [xx] words, written by hand in [90] minutes
with no aids.

[paste the text or a photo]

Evaluate it as an experienced language teacher would, using the
criteria the actual essay exam is graded on:
1. Addressing the topic and prompt — does the text match what
   was actually asked for?
2. Sticking to the form — is this really [form], or did it
   drift into something else? Where exactly?
3. Composition — do the introduction, body, and conclusion
   work? Where does the text lose momentum?
4. Argument and ideas — what's load-bearing and what's filler?
5. Language and style — repeated words, overlong sentences,
   an inconsistent tone.
6. Spelling and punctuation — list the errors, citing the
   location and the rule I broke.

Don't rewrite the text for me and don't suggest replacement
wording.
For every criticism, tell me what to do differently NEXT TIME,
so I can figure it out myself.
At the end: three things I did well.

I have oral exams in [subject(s)] in [6] days.
Here's the state of my topics:

Know it and have recited it out loud: [topic numbers]
In progress, have the outline, haven't said it out loud: [numbers]
Barely anything: [numbers]

I can do [7] hours a day, but I know my attention drops off
after [4] hours.

Build me a plan for these 6 days:
1. Lay out the days in blocks, including breaks and sleep —
   plan for 8 hours of sleep, not 5.
2. The priority is reciting in-progress topics out loud, not
   reading new ones.
3. Tell me bluntly which topics I should give up on, and
   justify it.
4. Plan the last day before the exam differently from the
   rest: what to do in the morning, what in the afternoon,
   and when to stop.
5. Plan the morning of the exam: when to get up, what to
   review, and what not to.

Don't plan any late-night studying for me. If the plan only
works with all-nighters, that means something has to be cut
— tell me what.

I have my final exams in [3] weeks and I'm not handling it
well mentally: [describe what's going on — insomnia, panic
before tests, procrastination, dread of studying, comparing
yourself to classmates].

My daily routine right now: [wake up, study from-to, sleep
from-to, eat, exercise, phone use].

Give me concrete advice:
1. What's the main problem in my routine and what to change
   first.
2. How to structure my day so studying fits and there's still
   room for sleep and movement.
3. Three concrete techniques for acute nervousness right before
   the exam that I can use at my desk or in the hallway.
4. How to tell the difference between normal pre-exam stress
   and a state where I should talk to an adult or a
   professional.

On point 4, be specific and don't try to reassure me at all
costs.
