Notes That Turn Into Questions You Can Fail

What it is for

Converts your own notes into a testable study set - questions you can fail, plausible false statements, an answer key tied back to your text, and a list of what your notes are missing. Use it a week before an exam, not the night before. It prevents the rereading illusion, where familiar material feels learned until you are asked to apply it.

The skill Copy

Paste your notes, the chapter, or the lecture transcript, then this.

Turn this material into a study set. Do not summarize it - I already have
the summary, that is what I pasted.

Produce, in this order:
1. Twelve questions I could get wrong. Four asking for a definition, four
   asking me to apply an idea to a situation not in the text, four asking
   me to say why two ideas are not the same. Number them. No answers yet.
2. Five statements that are false in a subtle way, each wrong for a
   different reason. I have to say what is wrong with each.
3. The answer key, after all the questions, with the line or paragraph of
   my own material each answer comes from.
4. A list of anything you needed in order to answer these that was NOT in
   what I pasted. That list is my gap, and it is the most useful part.

Rules:
- Do not add facts, dates, names, or figures absent from my text. If the
  material is thin, say so; do not fill it in.
- Word the questions differently from my notes, so I cannot pattern-match
  my way to an answer.

Then do the work: answer all of them on paper before you look at the key.
Anything you got right by recognizing the phrasing counts as wrong. Redo
those three days later, from the question only.

Failure this prevents: rereading a tidy summary four times, feeling ready,
and meeting the first exam question that asks you to use the idea rather
than repeat it.

How to install it Copy

1. Open the tool and start a new conversation, project or template.
2. Paste the text below wherever the tool keeps standing instructions
   — usually called system prompt, instructions, or persona.
3. Save it so it applies to every run rather than a single message.
