AI prompts for studying, summaries and exams
Updated: 19 Oct 2026 · 7 prompts
Use AI as a tutor, not as a ghostwriter: let it explain, quiz and check you. Paste your own notes or textbook passages so it stays on your material.
Summarise a text
Summarise this text in [5] bullet points for a [level, e.g. 10th grade / first-year student]. Then list 3 key terms with one-line definitions and one question that would likely come up in an exam. [paste text]
Explain it simply
Explain [topic] as if I were 12, then once more at university level. Use one everyday example and one common misconception.
Flashcards
Create [20] flashcards from my notes below. Format: question | answer, one per line, so I can import them into Anki or Quizlet. Only use information from my notes. [paste notes]
Quiz me
Quiz me on [topic / my notes]. Ask one question at a time, wait for my answer, tell me if it is right, explain mistakes briefly and get harder when I answer correctly. Start now.
Study plan until the exam
My exam in [subject] is on [date]. Topics: [list]. I can study [hours] per day, not on [days]. Make a day-by-day plan with repetition (spaced repetition) and two mock exams.
Practise an oral exam
Act as a strict but fair examiner for [subject]. Ask me 5 typical oral-exam questions on [topics], one at a time, follow up when my answer is vague, and give me a grade with reasons at the end.
Language practice partner
Be my [language] conversation partner at level [A2/B1/B2]. Talk about [topic]. Keep your messages short, correct my mistakes after each answer in a short list, and introduce 3 useful new words per round.
Tips for better results
- Ask the AI to quiz you instead of giving answers.
- Check facts against your course material – AI can be confidently wrong.
- Follow your school's or university's AI rules for graded work.
Questions
Is using ChatGPT for studying cheating?
Using it to explain and quiz you is like a tutor. Handing in AI-written work as your own usually breaks exam rules – check your institution's policy.
