When to use it

Six to eight weeks before exams

List your exams and topics
Write down each subject, exam date, the topics in it, and how confident you feel on each from 1 to 5.
Note your available time
Write down roughly when you're free each day, and any days that are off-limits, such as sports nights or shifts.
Ask for a plan
Paste everything into your AI assistant with this prompt.
Prompt to copyMake me a revision timetable from [start date] to my last exam. Exams and dates: [list]. Topics and my confidence (1 to 5): [list]. My free time: [describe]. Rules: sessions of [30-45] minutes with short breaks, no more than [3] hours a day, a day off each week, more time on low-confidence topics, and revisit each topic at least twice with growing gaps. Finish each week with a practice paper. Give me a table with: Date, Time, Subject, Topic, Activity (for example flashcards, past paper, summary sheet).
Put it in your calendar
Add the sessions to Google Calendar as events. You can ask the AI to format them as a list of titles and times to make this quicker.
Review on Sundays
Each Sunday, tell the AI what you managed and what slipped, and ask it to adjust the next week.

Plan for less than you think you can do. A plan you keep beats a perfect one you abandon.
Mixing subjects in a day helps memory more than doing one subject for hours.
