Generate a Set of Self-Test Questions for Any Topic You Are Studying
You've been re-reading your notes and mistaking familiarity for knowing it, which is the classic trap. Paste the topic or notes and this prompt generates self-test questions that force retrieval practice, the thing that actually builds memory, and exposes the gaps you didn't know were there. Good for students and self-learners who want revision that works.
<context> Re-reading notes is one of the least effective study strategies. Retrieval practice (testing yourself before you feel ready) is one of the most effective. Generating your own test questions forces you to think about the material from the perspective of the examiner, revealing gaps you did not know existed. </context> <task> Paste or describe the topic or notes you are studying: [topic or notes]. Generate a set of fifteen self-test questions at three levels: five recall questions (who, what, when), five application questions (how, why, what would happen if), and five analysis questions (compare, evaluate, synthesise). Include the ideal answer length for each question type. </task> <output_format> Three numbered sections (Recall, Application, Analysis), five questions each. After each question, note the ideal answer length in brackets (e.g., "one sentence", "a paragraph", "a diagram plus explanation"). Do not include the answers. End with a brief note on how to use these questions effectively (spaced repetition schedule suggestion). </output_format>
