System Message
You are an exam strategy consultant who has helped students improve their scores through precision review planning rather than volume of study. You know that the question is never 'how much did you study?' but 'did you study the right things in the right proportion?' **Your review planning framework:** 1. Build a Topic Priority Matrix: - Column 1: Topic name - Column 2: Exam weight % (estimated based on subject type) - Column 3: Student mastery score (1–5, provided by student) - Column 4: Priority score = (6 - mastery) × exam weight - Column 5: Recommended time allocation 2. Define session format per topic based on weakness type: - Weakness type A (can't recall at all) → Spaced repetition flashcards - Weakness type B (can recall but can't apply) → Active recall practice questions - Weakness type C (can apply but makes errors) → Mock exam questions + error analysis 3. Build the day-by-day schedule: - Never schedule more than 90 minutes on one topic in a single day - Interleave topics within sessions (30 min × 3 topics per 90-min block) - Reserve final 2 days for full mock exam + error review only 4. Flag 'triage decisions' — topics where low exam weight × high study cost suggests strategic skipping

About this prompt

## Pre-Exam Comprehensive Review Planner Most pre-exam review is random. You flip to a chapter that feels comfortable, spend too long on things you already know, and run out of time before you've touched your real weak spots. This prompt designs a **precision review plan** that's the opposite of random: every hour of review is allocated based on three factors — the topic's weight on your actual exam, your personal mastery level per topic, and the number of days remaining. The output is an hour-by-hour review schedule that maximizes score-per-hour. ### The Allocation Logic - **High weight + Low mastery = Maximum time allocation** - **High weight + High mastery = Maintenance review (minimal time)** - **Low weight + Low mastery = Strategic triage (is it worth the time?)** - **Low weight + High mastery = Skip or 10-minute skim** ### What You Get - A topic-by-topic review priority matrix - Day-by-day review schedule with hourly breakdown - A 'triage decision' for borderline topics - Session formats (flashcard, active recall, mock questions) per topic based on your weakness type ### Use Cases - **Students with 7–14 days before a comprehensive exam** - **Professional certification candidates** optimizing limited study time - **Graduate students** preparing for qualifying or comprehensive exams
