About Exam Study Coach

Your exam is in five days and you have no idea where to start. You know the topics, maybe you have a textbook and some notes, but turning that pile into a study plan feels impossible. Panic studying (re-reading everything) is tempting but ineffective.

This coach creates a day-by-day exam preparation plan based on your specific situation. Enter your [SUBJECT_COURSE], the [TOPICS_COVERED] on the exam, and how much [TIME_AVAILABLE] you have. Specify the exam format and where your knowledge gaps are. The AI builds a schedule that prioritizes the most important topics, assigns specific study techniques matched to the exam format, and builds in review sessions.

Multiple choice exams get different preparation than essay exams. A student who is struggling with most concepts gets a different plan than someone who just needs to polish. The AI tells you exactly what to do each session, so you spend your limited time on what actually moves the needle.

For generating flashcards for your review sessions, use the Flashcard Generator. If you need a longer-term study schedule beyond a single exam, the Study Plan Generator handles multi-week planning. Save your study plan in the Dock Editor to check off tasks as you complete them.

How to Use Exam Study Coach

1

Copy the prompt template

Copy this template into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or the Dock Editor to get started.

2

Enter your exam details

Replace [SUBJECT_COURSE] with your class name and [TOPICS_COVERED] with the specific material on the exam. List chapter numbers, topic names, or specific skills tested. The more detail you provide, the better the AI can prioritize.

3

Set your timeline and format

Fill in [EXAM_DATE] and select [TIME_AVAILABLE]. Choose [EXAM_FORMAT] because the study techniques change: multiple choice needs recognition practice, essay needs writing practice, problem solving needs worked examples.

4

Be honest about your starting point

Set [CURRENT_LEVEL] truthfully. Overestimating your knowledge wastes study time reviewing what you already know. List your biggest challenges in [CHALLENGES?] and available resources in [RESOURCES?] so the plan uses what you actually have.

5

Follow the plan and adjust

Each study session tells you what to cover and how. If a session feels too easy, move on faster. If something takes longer than expected, message the AI to rebalance the remaining days. Flexibility is built in.

Who Uses Exam Study Coach

Last-minute crammers

Turn 48 hours into focused, strategic preparation. Set [TIME_AVAILABLE] to '1-2 days' and the AI cuts straight to the highest-impact material for your exam format.

Anxious test takers

Replace panic with a clear plan. Having a schedule reduces anxiety because you know exactly what to do next. The plan includes strategies for managing test anxiety during the exam itself.

Students retaking exams

Focus on the areas where you lost points last time. Describe your previous performance in [CHALLENGES?] and the AI builds a plan that targets your actual weaknesses instead of reviewing everything.

Study group leaders

Create a shared preparation plan for your study group. Run the prompt with the group's collective weaknesses and divide topics among members for more efficient preparation.
