SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill solves the problem of students not knowing how to prioritize studying for an upcoming final when exam emphasis and question patterns vary by professor.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Past-exam pattern analysis: Break down prior exams to identify recurring subject coverage, question style, fact-pattern density, and policy-vs-doctrine balance.
  • Professor “fingerprint” detection: Surface repeat traps and favored hypo structures (including exceptions like open-book/take-home variants).
  • Syllabus-aligned weighting forecast: Combine historical patterns with the current syllabus to produce a study-time weighting heuristic rather than a guess at exact questions.

Quick Start

Use exam-forecast to analyze the past exams you have for your class and generate an exam study weighting forecast aligned to your syllabus.

FAQPage Schema
How do I analyze past exams to predict what will be on my final?

Exam forecasting analyzes past exams to identify recurring subject coverage, question style, and fact-pattern density from the same professor. It generates a study-weighted plan by combining historical exam patterns with your current syllabus.

What is the best way to create a study plan aligned with my law school syllabus?

Syllabus-aligned study planning combines your current syllabus with historical exam patterns to produce a study-time weighting heuristic. This approach generates a forecast file that prioritizes subjects based on past professor emphasis rather than guessing exact questions.

Can I use past exams in PDF format to identify a professor's recurring question patterns?

Yes, you can load past exams in PDF, pasted text, or file paths to extract format and topic patterns. The analysis detects a professor fingerprint by surfacing repeat traps and favored hypo structures from the provided documents.

Does exam pattern analysis work for spotting policy versus doctrine questions?

Exam pattern analysis breaks down prior exams to identify the policy-versus-doctrine balance in a professor's testing style. It extracts topic patterns and question-style expectations to frame a weighting heuristic for your study plan.

What are the limitations of forecasting exam emphasis from a small set of past exams?

Exam forecasting frames results as weighting heuristics with uncertainty and includes thin-sample caveats. It requires loading class context from a configured CLAUDE.md file and is limited by the number of past exams you provide.
