Entrance Exams with AI: A Plan, Practice, and Mistake Analysis

I'm pasting in the exact official information about the entrance exam,
which I downloaded from the [exam provider / faculty] website:

[paste text]

Turn this into a clear reference card:
1. What's being tested (subjects, test sections, question types)
2. How many minutes per section
3. Scoring: total points, whether points are deducted for wrong
   answers, whether there's a passing threshold
4. Deadlines and what I need to submit by when
5. What I'm allowed to bring (calculator, formula sheets, drawing tools)

Strict rule: use ONLY information from the pasted text. Anything not
in there, mark as "NOT IN SOURCE — needs to be looked up" and don't
fill it in from your own knowledge, even if you think you know it.

I'm preparing for [a national entrance exam for a four-year program /
a college admissions test for program X]. The date is [date], today
is [date].

My baseline from the practice test:
[list points by topic, e.g. geometry 4/12, word problems 6/10,
spelling 8/10, reading comprehension 5/12]

I can realistically give [4] hours a week to prep, except for
[a period when I have zero time, e.g. ski trip Feb 10–17].

Build me a week-by-week plan from today to the exam date:
- what topic I practice each week (specific, not "math")
- how much time to give each topic based on how many points
  I'm losing on it
- when I sit a full practice test (schedule these regularly)
- what should be done by the end of each week so I can tell
  I kept up

Leave the last two weeks before the date for review and calm —
don't schedule any new material into them. Output as a table:
week, date, topic, deliverable.

Here's my weekly prep plan for the entrance exam:
[paste the week from the table]

Break it down into concrete blocks by day. My schedule:
[when I have clubs/activities, when I get home from school,
when I have practice/training]

Conditions:
- no block longer than 45 minutes
- every block has a clear start and end: what I'll do and how
  I'll know it's done (e.g. "10 area problems, checked against
  the answer key")
- one block a week is set aside for revisiting old mistakes
- schedule nothing on [day], that's a day off

For each block, write one sentence on why it's there.

I have [12] weeks left before my exam and [8] official past tests
available ([subject/subjects]).

Schedule when to take each one so that:
- the first one happens this week as a baseline measurement
- the tests are spread out evenly, not stacked at the end
- the last two are ones I've never seen before, and fall in
  the final three weeks before the date
- there's always at least a week between tests to practice
  whatever showed up as a weakness on the previous one

For each test, tell me what to write down afterward and how
I'll know I'm improving. Output as a dated list.

I just took a practice entrance exam ([subject]). Here's my
breakdown, question by question:

[for every wrong answer, write: question number, what it was about,
my answer, the correct answer per the key, how confident I was
(sure/guessed/no idea), and whatever I remember going through
my head]

Sort all my mistakes into four categories:
A) KNOWLEDGE — I don't know this material
B) CARELESSNESS — I knew it and made a slip
C) TIME — I didn't get there, or rushed it
D) MISREADING — I calculated something other than what was asked

Output as a table: question | topic | category | why you think so.
Below the table, write:
1. How many points I lost in each category
2. Which category is my biggest hole
3. Three specific things to do over the next two weeks — ranked
   by how many points each one is likely to recover

Where my descriptions aren't enough to classify something, ask
a follow-up question instead of guessing.

Here's my mistake log from the last [6] weeks — every mistake
from practice tests and drills:

[paste the log: date, question, topic, mistake category,
what I did about it]

Analyze it:
1. Which types of mistakes keep recurring (same topic or same
   kind of slip across more than one test)
2. Which ones I've actually fixed — they showed up early on
   and haven't come back
3. Where I keep making the same mistake even though I already
   logged it — and what to do differently this time
4. A recommendation for the next two weeks: what to practice
   and in what order

Be specific and don't go easy on me. If the log shows I haven't
moved at all on some topic, say so.

I couldn't solve this entrance-exam question. I'm [a 9th grader /
a senior], and I generally struggle with [topic].

The question:
[copy the question exactly; for geometry, attach the image too]

My attempt and where I got stuck:
[what I tried, where it stopped making sense]

Explain it to me this way:
1. First tell me the key word or piece of information in the
   question I should have noticed, and how to recognize this
   type of question
2. Then a step-by-step method — for EVERY step, explain why it's
   done (not just what's being calculated)
3. Flag the step where people most often mess this up
4. Finally: how I can check my answer a different way

Don't use terms we haven't covered in school, and if you do,
explain them. Keep it simple.

Here's a question from an official entrance exam that I couldn't
solve:

[question]

Create 5 problems of the same type and similar difficulty for
me to practice. Do this:
- vary the numbers and context, but drill the same skill
- make the first two a bit easier, the last two a bit harder
- for each problem, give: the question, the correct answer,
  and the complete method
- for each, note what slip is easiest to make on it

Then check each problem yourself: solve it again from scratch,
independently of your first method, and tell me whether you get
the same result. Where the results disagree, throw the problem
out and tell me.

I keep losing points on these issues in [subject] tests:
[e.g. subject-verb agreement, commonly confused homophones,
capitalization rules, identifying parts of a sentence]

Prepare an exercise set for me:
1. For each issue, first a short explanation of the rule in plain
   language, with a trick for remembering it and where the most
   common trap is
2. Then 10 fill-in-the-blank sentences for the first issue, 10 for
   the second, etc. — make the sentences ordinary, not artificial,
   and include some where the rule doesn't apply straightforwardly
3. Put the correct answers all the way at the end, not next to
   individual sentences, so I can do it honestly
4. For each answer, add one sentence on why

Don't use examples that look like they're from an elementary
school textbook.

This is a question from an aptitude test where I got stuck or
it took me way too long:

[copy the question and all the answer choices]

My answer was [X], the correct one is [Y] (per the official key).

Break it down for me this way:
1. What type of question this is and how to spot it at a glance
2. The fastest method — and how much time it should take
3. Exactly where I probably went wrong, given that I answered [X]
4. How to quickly eliminate answer choices without fully solving
   the question
5. One rule I should take away from this question for next time

Don't talk vaguely about "logical thinking" — I want a concrete
method.

I'm taking [exam name]. The [subject] test runs [X] minutes and has
[Y] questions worth [Z] points total. Wrong answers [do / don't]
lose points.

My practice test results by topic:
[list where I'm strong and where I'm weak, and how much time
I typically run short by]

Suggest a time strategy:
1. A minute budget: how much time per section, including a
   buffer for checking
2. What order to go through the questions based on what I'm
   good at
3. When it makes sense to walk away from a question — a specific
   signal, not "when it's not working"
4. What to do with whatever minutes are left at the end
5. What to do with questions I don't get to — given whether wrong
   answers lose points

For each point, write one sentence on why. At the end, give me
a 5-bullet strategy card I can memorize.

I'm a parent. My kid is in [9th grade / their final year of high
school] and preparing for [exam]. [X] weeks remain.

Our situation at home: [describe it — e.g. my kid studies in
bursts, is anxious, refuses help, or on the contrary wants me
to quiz them every evening]

Advise me on:
1. What I can concretely do to help their prep go better —
   practical things, not general advice about "being supportive"
2. What I should avoid, even with good intentions
3. How to ask about practice test results without it turning into
   a fight — suggest three specific sentences
4. How to tell the difference between ordinary nervousness and
   a situation where we need outside help (a school counselor,
   a doctor)

Keep it short and practical.
