A prompt is the message you send to the AI tool. Copy the one on this page, put your own details where it asks, and read the answer before you act on it.

Prompt

Recreated prompt

The source didn't share its exact prompt, so we wrote one from what it describes. The result shown is the source's, not ours.

What the prompt labels mean

The person didn't share their exact words, so we wrote this from what they described. We haven't tested it, and they didn't use this exact version.

This notebook holds my child's mock exam answer sheet, with the wrong answers highlighted, and the official explanation booklet. List only the questions my child got wrong, explain why each answer was wrong and the reasoning that reaches the correct one, and point to the page in the explanation booklet so we can check it.

Before you start, ask me 1–3 short questions about the details below and wait for my answers. Once I've answered, confirm the plan in one line and run the whole task start to finish.

Goal: Turn a pile of mock exams and handouts into a fast, targeted review for my child.

Questions to ask me first:
- Which exams or tests do you want to review?
- Which subjects matter most right now?
- How much time does your child have before the next test?

Inputs (fill in or confirm):
- Sources: [SCANNED ANSWER SHEETS, EXPLANATION BOOKLETS, CLASS HANDOUTS]
- File names: [E.G. MOCKEXAM_APRIL_MATH]
- Subjects: [MATH, SOCIAL STUDIES, ETC.]

Rules:
- Use only the uploaded materials and cite the page for every explanation.
- Group mistakes by unit so patterns are visible.
- Don't give answers to unseen practice questions; ask my child to try first.
- Say clearly when a scan is unreadable.

Checkpoint: Show the list of missed questions by unit before writing explanations.

If you get stuck: If a question isn't in the explanation booklet, flag it for the teacher.

Verify before you finish: Each explanation matches the booklet page it cites.

Output: A short review sheet: missed questions, why each was wrong, the weak units and a study plan.

Done when: My child knows exactly which units to work on and why.

Outcome

A 50-something father who writes as Legacy2AI set up NotebookLM for a daughter in the second year of middle school, who was losing track of piles of handouts ahead of entrance-exam study. At first the notebooks went unused and grades didn't improve for a month, so the family added a regular review cycle. Each mock exam got its own notebook with the scanned answer sheet (wrong answers highlighted) and the explanation booklet; NotebookLM pulled out only the missed questions and explained why each answer was wrong, cutting review of one mock exam from 3 hours to 30 minutes. A notebook of three past mock exams and regular tests pinpointed three weak math units (reading graphs of quadratic functions, counting combinations in probability, and conditions in similarity proofs), and analyzing five years of the target school's past exams went from a full day to 30 minutes.
