Practice exam in your professor's style
Study & exam prepGoes in: Chat
You describe how your professor writes exams — question mix, favourite phrasings, emphasised topics, time pressure — and it generates a full practice paper in that exact style, with an answer key and flags on what to revise.

Generate a practice exam from my course materials, matching my professor's style. --- MY PROFESSOR'S STYLE (fill this in) --- Question types I expect: [e.g., "60% calculation, 30% short answer, 10% derivations"] Favorite phrasings my professor uses: [e.g., "calculate", "derive", "explain why", "compare and contrast"] Topics my professor emphasizes in lectures: [list them] Topics in the textbook my professor barely covers: [list them] Difficulty and time pressure: [e.g., "2-hour exam, 20 questions, partial credit given"] Special rules: [e.g., "open book", "formula sheet allowed"] --- GENERATE THE EXAM --- Now generate questions using new content from my textbook and notes. Structure: - Match the question type mix above. - Use my professor's phrasings word-for-word where relevant. - Weight the questions toward emphasized topics, not textbook-only topics. - Answer key at the end with full explanations. - Mark high-priority topics (the ones my professor emphasizes). - Flag any topic that I should spend more time on based on difficulty and frequency.
