SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It helps students reduce exam uncertainty by analyzing prior exams from the same professor and turning observed patterns into a practical study-weighting guide.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Past-exam pattern analysis: Identifies recurring exam fingerprints like subject weights, question styles, fact-pattern density, and trap patterns.
  • Syllabus-aware forecasting: Combines historical exam patterns with the current syllabus to recommend how to allocate study time across topics.
  • Confidence discipline and sample-size handling: Flags thin samples, distinguishes stable vs variable patterns, and frames outputs as weighting heuristics rather than predictions.

Quick Start

Ask the AI: "Analyze the past exams I have for my class and forecast the likely emphases, weighting what I should study most."

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 topics from past exams to plan my study schedule?

You forecast exam topics by loading past exams and a local class context file to compute stable versus variable pattern signals. The Skill maps these historical exam patterns to your current syllabus, generating a dated study notes file with subject weighting and a next-steps decision tree.

How do I analyze past exam patterns when I only have a small sample size of PDFs?

Analyzing past exam patterns with a small sample size flags thin samples and distinguishes stable versus variable pattern signals. The system applies confidence discipline by framing outputs as weighting heuristics rather than absolute predictions, ensuring you handle limited historical data appropriately.

Can I use pasted text instead of PDF files for exam prediction and syllabus mapping?

Yes, you can use pasted text instead of PDF files for exam prediction. The workflow accepts user-provided past exams across variations in formats including PDFs, pasted text, or file paths, mapping the observed patterns to your current syllabus for finals preparation.

How does confidence signaling work when generating draft study notes from historical exams?

Confidence signaling works by distinguishing stable versus variable pattern signals from historical exams and flagging thin samples. It frames the generated draft study notes as weighting heuristics rather than definitive predictions, helping you allocate study time across topics with appropriate caution.

What do I need to set up before mapping past exam patterns to my current syllabus?

Before mapping past exam patterns to your current syllabus, you need to provide past exams in formats like PDF, pasted text, or file paths, and ensure a local CLAUDE.md file is loaded to establish the class context. This setup allows the system to compute pattern signals and output a dated study file.

What are the limitations of using pattern analysis for law school exam prediction?

The limitation of using pattern analysis for law school exam prediction is that outputs are framed as weighting heuristics rather than exact predictions. The system flags thin samples and distinguishes stable versus variable patterns to prevent overreliance on limited historical data.
