Exam in two weeks
Turn class notes into a RoxWhy knowledge base, Learning Pack, quiz, and a short study plan you can actually keep.
Two weeks is enough to stop cramming from a messy folder. It is not enough to rebuild a whole subject. Pick the exam, not the year.
You will know it worked when you have a concept map, a set of missed questions, and three scheduled study blocks on the calendar.
What to gather
- The exam scope: topics the teacher named, or the last two to four weeks of notes.
- Allowed files: notes, slides, worksheets, a revision sheet.
- Your real available time: school nights and one weekend block. Be honest.
1. Make one knowledge base for this exam
Open Knowledge and create a base named like Year 11 Chemistry - Term 3 exam.
Upload only the material for this exam. A focused pile beats a term's worth of mixed PDFs.
If a file is still processing, wait until it is ready before you quiz from it. Generic answers usually mean the file is not attached yet.
2. Build a Learning Pack from those notes
Open Chat, choose Learning Pack, and send:
Create a Learning Pack from my
[knowledge base name]for this exam. Exam date: [date]. Scope: [list the topics]. Make an interactive concept map of how the ideas connect, then 10 mixed questions at exam difficulty. Flag anything that is not in my notes.
Read the map first. If a node is fuzzy, click or ask follow-up on that node before you sit the quiz.
Complete the quiz. Write down every miss. That list is the real syllabus for the next 14 days.
Full controls: Learning Pack.
3. Turn misses into a plan you will keep
If your plan includes Scholar study tools, open Study Planner. On Starter, skip to the two-week rhythm below and keep using Learning Pack, Quiz, and Chat on the miss list.
Create a goal such as: "Be able to explain and complete mixed questions on [three weak topics] before [exam date]."
Set a daily time you will actually keep, for example 40 minutes on four weeknights. Generate the plan.
On each generated task, prefer Quiz, Learning Pack, or Chat over "read notes again." After a task, save missed questions in the Question Bank.
If you already track marks on Scholar, open Study Command Centre each afternoon and do the top action instead of browsing.
4. A simple two-week rhythm
| When | Do this | Stop when |
|---|---|---|
| Days 1 to 3 | Learning Pack plus quiz on the whole scope | You have a miss list |
| Days 4 to 10 | One weak topic per session: explain, then five questions | You can teach that topic to a sibling in two minutes |
| Days 11 to 12 | Mixed quiz from the knowledge base | Misses are old mistakes, not new topics |
| Day 13 | Light review of saved questions only | You are not opening new chapters |
| Exam day | Sleep and the one-page outline, not a new chat | — |
Optional extras that help, and ones that waste time
Helpful: Visualize for a process you keep mixing up. Roxy Tutor if this subject will continue after the exam. Academic Tracker if you want the last test score in the same place as the plan.
Wasteful: uploading every PDF you own, generating a 40-chapter Book the night before, or asking Chat to "summarise the whole subject" without your notes.
