## Prompt template

## Revision plan

Build me a revision timetable that gets me to these exams prepared.

- Exams, dates, and weighting: {{Exams, dates, and weighting}}
- Today's date: {{Today's date}}
- Hours I can study on a weekday: {{Hours I can study on a weekday}}
- Hours on a weekend day: {{Hours on a weekend day}}
- Subjects I'm weakest in: {{Subjects I'm weakest in}}
- Material I already have: {{Material I already have}}
- Fixed commitments: {{Fixed commitments}}
- When I focus best on hard material: {{When I focus best on hard material}}
- Include full rest days: {{Include full rest days}}

Work backwards from the last exam rather than forwards from today, and weight the time by exam weighting and my weak subjects, not evenly across modules. Lay it out week by week, then day by day for the final fortnight, with each block naming the topic and the study method (past paper under timed conditions, active recall, worked examples, rewriting notes). Put the hardest material in my stated best hours. Leave the last 48 hours before each exam light on new content. Where two exams are close together, say explicitly which one loses time and why.
