SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It helps students study smarter by analyzing past exams from the same professor to identify recurring patterns like subject weighting, common issue-spotter traps, and preferred hypo structures.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Past-exam pattern analysis: Extracts format, subject coverage, question style, fact-pattern density, recurring traps, and the policy-vs-doctrine mix.
  • Cross-exam consistency vs variation: Separates stable “fingerprints” from changing emphases (including differences across open-book vs closed-book or take-home vs in-class).
  • Syllabus-aligned weighting forecast: Produces a study-time weighting heuristic (not a prediction) that maps historical patterns to the current course’s syllabus coverage.

Quick Start

Analyze the past exams you have for your class and generate an exam forecast that prioritizes what to study based on historical patterns and this semester’s syllabus.

Frequently Asked Questions about exam-forecast

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I forecast exam emphasis from past professor tests?▼

Forecast exam emphasis by analyzing patterns across past exams from the same professor and reconciling them with your current course syllabus to produce a study-time weighting heuristic.

What is the best way to analyze past exams for recurring issue-spotter traps?▼

Analyzing past exams extracts recurring formatting, subject coverage, fact-pattern density, and issue-spotter traps to separate stable professor fingerprints from changing emphases like open-book versus closed-book variations.

Can I map historical exam patterns directly to my current syllabus coverage?▼

Yes, you can generate a syllabus-aligned weighting forecast that maps historical exam patterns and the policy-vs-doctrine mix directly to your current course syllabus coverage for study planning.

How do I study plan based on a small sample of prior law school exams?▼

Ingest available past exams to confirm the sample size, then extract cross-exam consistency signals to generate a dated forecast output framed as uncertain study-time weighting rather than predictive advice.

Does this exam forecasting approach work with pasted text and PDF exam files?▼

Yes, the exam forecasting process accepts past exams shared as PDF files, pasted text, or file paths, ingesting them to identify question style preferences and cross-exam consistency.

Are there limitations to using historical exam patterns for study planning?▼

The primary limitation is that exam forecasting produces uncertain study-time weighting heuristics, not legal or predictive advice, and requires a local CLAUDE.md class profile to function accurately.
