What you will get

Ten exam-style questions from easy to hard, asked one at a time: five short answers, three problem-solving and two long answers, each marked with a model answer and an explanation of where marks were won or lost.

Why it works

Exam practice works when it feels like the real thing, so the prompt makes the AI an examiner, mixes short, problem-solving and long questions, and asks them one at a time. Marking out of a set number with a model answer shows exactly where marks are won and lost. Answering without notes first, as the tip says, turns it into a true test rather than reading answers.

Common mistake

It asks all ten questions at once.

Fix: Repeat “one question at a time, and wait for my answer”. If the list appears, reply “only question 1”.

Also watch for

The questions do not match your syllabus. Name the exam board and the chapter, and paste two real past questions as a style sample.
You look at the model answer before trying. Follow the tip and answer without notes first. Write your full answer, then ask for the mark.

Try a variation: weak spots

After the ten, ask “list the three question types where I lost most marks and give me five more of the first type”. Practise your weakest type first.
