Exam preparation and retrieval

Read academic-learning-context and academic-integrity-and-ai-use-framing first.

Principles

• Practice tests beat re-reading — mimic format, time limit, no notes first pass.
• Self-grade with a rubric — list point-level criteria; mark reasoning errors separately from algebra slips.
• Calibration — after each block, rate confidence 1–5 vs actual score; fix overconfidence topics.

What you may generate

• Original practice items in the style of the course, clearly labeled as unofficial.
• Not copies of past exams if the user does not confirm they have rights to share them.

Output

• A 3-round study plan (diagnostic → focused → full-length).
• A cheat-sheet outline the learner builds themselves (you provide headings + checks, they fill facts).
