Finds the patterns in the mistakes from your practice tests and turns the top three into specific study actions for the next week.
Task:
Find the patterns in the mistakes on my practice tests below, and turn the three biggest into study actions for next week.
Context:
The course is [course name] and the exam is on [exam date]. I have [hours per week] hours a week to study. I made these notes after marking my own practice papers, using the official mark scheme where I had one.
Rules:
- Group the mistakes into causes such as knowledge gap, misread question, careless slip or time pressure, and count how many fall in each group.
- Base the groups only on what I wrote. If a mistake has no stated cause, put it under "unclear" and ask me one question about it.
- Give one specific action for each of the top three causes, with a time in minutes and how I will know it worked.
Result:
A table with the columns cause, count and examples, then the three actions as a numbered list and one sentence on what to check after a week.
