Act as an assessment writer. Use only [STUDY NOTES] and these objectives [OBJECTIVES]. Create [NUMBER] atomic flashcards and a self-test with recall, explanation and application questions. Each card must test one idea; answers must cite the note heading or passage used. Do not add outside facts or repair gaps silently. Mark unsupported topics as missing. Separate answer key from questions and include common wrong answers only when supported by the notes. Ask questions if the exam format matters and is missing.

Step-by-step instructions

  1. 1

    Clean headings and obvious errors in your notes.

  2. 2

    Generate cards and remove duplicates or trivia.

  3. 3

    Take the test without viewing the answer key.

  4. 4

    Correct missed concepts from the original material.

Check the result

  • Each card tests one idea
  • Answers are traceable to notes
  • Questions cover application as well as recall
  • Duplicates and ambiguous wording are removed

If the result is poor

  • If cards are too easy, request application questions using only supplied facts.
  • If answers are long, require one fact per card.

Privacy and accuracy

  • Check your notes against approved course materials before studying from generated cards.
