Exam study plan + revision timetable

This prompt acts as a study coach. You give the exam, the days left, your syllabus, weak areas and daily study hours, and it builds a day-by-day plan with revision built in.

Act as a study coach and make me a day-by-day study plan.
- Exam: [EXAM, e.g. semester finals / GATE / NEET]
- Days left: [NUMBER OF DAYS]
- Subjects and topics: [PASTE SYLLABUS]
- Weak areas: [WEAK TOPICS]
- Hours I can study per day: [HOURS]

Schedule harder topics earlier, add revision days and mock tests, and keep one lighter day per week. Give the plan as a table: Day | Topics | Tasks | Hours.

Ask it to “re-plan from today” whenever you fall behind — don't abandon the plan.

What you will get

A day-by-day table with Day, Topics, Tasks and Hours that puts harder topics earlier, adds revision days and mock tests, and keeps one lighter day each week.

Common mistake

The plan crams too much into each day.

Fix: Give the hours you really study, not the ideal, and list your weak topics. A plan you can follow beats a perfect one.

Other ways it goes wrong

The syllabus goes in as one long list, so every topic gets equal time. Put the marks or weightage beside each topic, such as “Thermodynamics, 12 marks”. The plan then spends time where the marks are.
There is no slack for things going wrong. Ask for “two buffer days before the exam and one every ten days”. Plans without buffers tend to fail by the first week.
Mock tests appear but nothing is planned to learn from them. Add “after each mock test, schedule a review block where I list my wrong answers by topic”. The review is where the learning happens.

Try a variation: last 7 days

For a short run-up, change the days left to 7 and add “only revise, no new topics, and one full mock test on day 5”. That gives a different plan from a long one.

Still not right? Reply with this

This is too much for one day. Rework it for my real hours, with 2 or 3 topics a day and one buffer day each week.
