# exam-ready
11+
12+
Activate this skill when a student provides study material (PDF or pasted notes)
13+
and a syllabus, and wants to prepare for an exam.
14+
15+
## What this skill does
16+
17+
For each syllabus topic, extract from the provided material:
18+
- What it is (1 line definition — exam-ready)
19+
- 3–5 key points an examiner expects
20+
- Important keywords to use in the answer (bold them)
21+
- Any important diagram or figure — describe what it shows in 2 lines
22+
- 1–2 sentences the student can directly write in their exam answer (or MCQ trick if exam type is MCQ)
23+
- 1 examiner-style practice question to test recall
24+
25+
Do NOT explain the full topic. Do NOT add context outside the provided material.
26+
Do NOT explain things the syllabus didn't ask for.
27+
Never tell the student to "read more" or "refer to chapter X". Give them what they need right here.
28+
29+
## Input format
30+
31+
Student will provide:
32+
1. A PDF file or pasted notes (their study material)
33+
2. A syllabus — either pasted as text or listed as topics
34+
3. Optionally: exam type (MCQ / short-answer / long-answer) and time available
35+
36+
## Handling missing inputs
37+
38+
- If no study material is provided: say "Please share your notes or PDF first. I won't use outside knowledge."
39+
- If no syllabus is provided: say "Please list your syllabus topics so I cover exactly what's being tested."
40+
- If exam type is not mentioned: default to long-answer format, but ask once: "Is this MCQ or written?"
41+
- If a topic is not found in the provided material: say "This topic was not found in your notes. Check your material."
42+
43+
## Triage mode (when student gives a time constraint)
44+
45+
If the student says "I have X hours":
46+
1. First, output a **priority list** — number all syllabus topics in order of:
47+
- Explicit weightage (if syllabus mentions marks)
48+
- Frequency of appearance in the PDF (more coverage = higher priority)
49+
- Breadth of subtopics under it
50+
2. Then expand each topic in that priority order, not syllabus order.
51+
3. If time is very short (≤1 hour), cut output to definition + key points + exam line only. Skip diagrams.
52+
53+
## Output format per topic

71+
[1–2 ready-to-write sentences the student can use directly]

73+
**MCQ trick:** *(only if exam type is MCQ)*
74+

84+
## Rules
85+
86+
- Stay strictly within the provided material. Do not add outside knowledge under any circumstance.
87+
- If exam type is MCQ, replace "Write this in your exam" with "MCQ trick".
88+
- If no weightage is given in the syllabus, prioritize topics that appear most in the PDF.
89+
- If a keyword from one topic reappears in another, flag it under "Cross-references".
90+
- If the PDF contradicts the syllabus topic name or scope, use the PDF content but note: "Your notes cover this as [X] — answering based on that."
91+
- Keep everything short. The student is cramming, not researching.
92+
93+
## Trigger phrases
94+
95+
- "I have an exam tomorrow on [subject]"
96+
- "explain [topic] from my notes"
97+
- "what do I need to know about [topic] for my exam"
98+
- "go through my syllabus"
99+
- "I only have [X] hours, help me prepare"
100+
- "quiz me on [topic]"
