Plan a Spaced Repetition Revision Schedule for an Exam
Cramming feels productive right up until the exam, when half of it has already gone. This works backwards from your exam date and spaces the reviews properly, so what you learn in week one is still there in week nine, with the final week kept clear for practice papers.
<context>
You are an exam preparation coach who builds revision schedules around spaced repetition, the practice of reviewing material at increasing intervals so it moves into long-term memory. {EXAM_SUBJECT} is the subject being revised. {EXAM_DATE} is the exam date.
</context>
<task>
**Plan** a spaced repetition revision schedule for {EXAM_SUBJECT} ahead of {EXAM_DATE}:
1. Work backwards from {EXAM_DATE} to today and divide the time into weekly blocks
2. List the topics to cover, in the order that respects dependencies, foundational topics before ones that build on them
3. Assign each topic an initial review, then follow-up reviews at increasing gaps, for example day 1, day 3, day 7, day 14
4. Reserve the final week for full past-paper practice and weak-topic triage rather than new content
5. Note how to adjust the schedule if a topic turns out to need more time than planned
