      Hello — I’m curious whether artificial intelligence can help create personalized practice for AP exams (like AP Biology, AP U.S. History, AP Calculus) in a way that’s simple and reliable for non-technical parents or adult learners.

      Specifically, I’m wondering:

      • Which AI tools or apps are good at tailoring practice questions and schedules to a student’s strengths and weaknesses?
      • How can I make sure the AI follows official AP formats and gives accurate explanations?
      • Any tips for balancing AI practice with real past exams and teacher feedback?
      • Practical concerns — cost, privacy, and how much setup a non-technical person should expect.

      If you’ve used AI for AP prep, please share which tools worked, what to watch out for, and simple steps a parent or adult learner can take to get started. Thank you!

      Great point about focusing on personalization — that’s the smart starting place. Here’s a simple, practical way you and your learner can get a tailored AP practice plan in under 10 minutes.

      Quick win (try in 5–10 minutes): Ask an AI for a 2-week, daily practice plan based on the student’s current score and weekly availability. Use the prompt below and you’ll have a ready-to-use plan.

      Why this works: AI can turn a few details into a structured, prioritized plan. It’s fast, repeatable, and easy to adjust as progress becomes clear.

      What you’ll need:

      • AP subject (e.g., AP Biology)
      • Current mock/test score or confidence level
      • Target score
      • Daily time available (minutes)
      • Exam date (or weeks left)
      • Specific weak topics (if known)

      Step-by-step

      1. Gather the details above.
      2. Open an AI chat (ChatGPT or similar) and paste the prompt below.
      3. Tell the AI to make the plan active: include short quizzes, spaced review, and one timed practice test.
      4. Review the plan and tweak durations to match real-life energy and schedule.
      5. Start day 1 and track outcomes (score, confidence, time spent). Iterate weekly.

      Copy-paste AI prompt (use as-is):

      “Create a 2-week daily practice plan for the AP [SUBJECT]. Student details: current mock score [CURRENT_SCORE]/5, target score [TARGET_SCORE], study time available [MINUTES] minutes per weekday and [MINUTES_WEEKEND] minutes per weekend day, exam in [WEEKS_LEFT] weeks. Student is weakest in [WEAK_TOPICS]. Make each day include: a short focused lesson (20–30 minutes), a 10–15 minute active practice or quiz, and 5–10 minutes of spaced review. Include one 60–90 minute timed practice test on a weekend. Be practical and list each day’s tasks. Add quick tips to improve retention.”

      Example output (what to expect):

      • Day 1: 25-min lesson on Topic A + 10-min mixed quiz + 5-min flashcard review
      • Day 4: Focused weakness drilling + 15-min practice questions
      • Weekend: 75-min timed section + review notes and error log

      Common mistakes & fixes

      • Mistake: Plan too long for actual time. Fix: Shrink sessions to 20–30 minutes—shorter and consistent wins.
      • Mistake: Passive reading only. Fix: Add active tasks: quizzes, practice problems, teaching back the concept.
      • Mistake: Not tracking progress. Fix: Keep a one-line daily log: time spent, score, one takeaway.

      Action plan for this week

      1. Fill the prompt with your details and get a 2-week plan from the AI (10 minutes).
      2. Choose 3 measurable goals (e.g., +1 point on topic quiz; complete 2 timed sections).
      3. Follow Day 1 and log results. Adjust durations if needed.

      Reminder: Start small, measure, and iterate. AI speeds up planning — you still get the wins by doing the focused work.

      Nice, practical outline — one small tweak: instead of pasting a rigid, copy-paste prompt exactly as written, tell the AI the key facts in plain sentences and ask for a short, actionable plan you can realistically follow. That makes the plan more adaptable and avoids instructions the AI might interpret too literally.

      What you’ll need

      • AP subject and exam date or weeks left
      • Current mock/test score or confidence level
      • Target score
      • Daily time available on weekdays and weekends (minutes)
      • Top 2–4 weak topics to focus on

      How to do it — step by step

      1. Open your AI chat and start with a short opener: say the subject, current score, target score, time per day, weeks left, and weak topics.
      2. Ask for a 2-week daily plan that fits your time, with each day including: a short focused lesson, an active practice task or quiz, and a 5–10 minute spaced-review activity.
      3. Request one timed practice section on a weekend and a simple weekly check-in prompt (what to log each day: time, score, one takeaway).
      4. Review the plan and shorten any sessions that look too long — consistency beats long, infrequent study.
      5. Start Day 1, keep a one-line daily log, and re-run the AI each week with updated scores so the plan adapts.

      What to expect

      • A day-by-day list you can print or screenshot (e.g., Day 1: 20-min lesson on Topic A + 10-min practice questions + 5-min flashcard review).
      • Practical tasks, not essay-length lessons: short explanations, targeted practice problems, and quick memory checks.
      • Options to scale time up or down and built-in review so weak areas get repeated without extra effort.

      Quick tip: ask the AI to keep each day under a single time cap (e.g., 45 minutes) and to flag any tasks that need extra materials so you’re not surprised.

      Quick question to tailor this for you: which AP subject and how many weeks until the exam?

      Good tweak — plain sentences make the plan usable and reduce the risk of the AI following overly literal or rigid instructions. Below is a compact checklist of do / do-not items, followed by step-by-step actions you can take now and a short worked example so you can see the approach in practice.

      • Do: Give the AI a few clear facts (subject, weeks left, current and target score, daily time, 2–4 weak topics).
      • Do: Ask for short, active tasks (20–30 minute lesson, 10–15 minute practice, 5–10 minute spaced review) and one timed practice on a weekend.
      • Do: Keep each day under a single time cap so it fits real life.
      • Do not: Expect the first plan to be perfect — iterate weekly with new scores.
      • Do not: Rely on passive reading; insist on practice, errors review, and spaced repetition.
      • Do not: Overload a day beyond energy limits; shorter, daily sessions beat marathon cramming.

      What you’ll need

      • AP subject and how many weeks until the exam
      • Current mock/test score or confidence level and your target score
      • Realistic daily minutes available on weekdays and weekends
      • Top 2–4 weak topics or question types to prioritize
      • A way to time sessions and record quick daily logs (one line: time, score, takeaway)

      How to do it — step by step

      1. Open an AI chat and state the facts in plain sentences (subject, weeks left, current score, target, minutes/day, weak topics).
      2. Ask for a short, realistic 2-week plan: each day = brief lesson + active practice + 5–10 minute spaced review; include one timed weekend section and a weekly check-in template.
      3. Review the returned plan: shorten any sessions that look long, flag any tasks requiring extra materials, and mark days for focused weakness drilling.
      4. Start Day 1, use a timer, and keep a one-line log at the end of each session (time, score/confidence, one takeaway).
      5. At the end of each week, re-run the AI with updated scores and one-line notes so the plan adapts to progress or stubborn weaknesses.

      Worked example (quick sketch)

      • Context: AP Calculus, 6 weeks left, current mock 3/5, target 5, 40 minutes weekdays, 75 minutes weekends, weak topics: integration techniques, applied rates.
      • Day 1 (weekday): 25-min focused lesson on substitution + 10-min mixed practice problems + 5-min flashcard review of key formulas.
      • Day 4 (weekday): 20-min targeted weakness drill (integration by parts) + 15-min past free-response practice + 5-min error note.
      • Weekend: 75-min timed section (one multiple-choice block or two FRQs) + 20-min review of errors and rewrite one solution.

      What to expect

      • A day-by-day checklist you can follow without extra prep.
      • Steady, trackable gains if you log outcomes and iterate weekly.
      • Plans that shift focus from broad review to targeted drills as weaknesses clarify.

      Tip: Start with a conservative time cap you can hit most days; once consistency is reliable, ask the AI to increase difficulty or add a second timed section.

      Smart call on plain sentences — it keeps the AI from overfitting to a rigid script. Let’s turn that into a repeatable, results-driven system you can run weekly without guesswork.

      The issue: A plan without feedback loops stalls. Kids and adult learners alike drift when days get busy, and parents can’t see if time spent equals progress.

      Why this matters: Scores move when you tighten three levers: adherence (did we study), accuracy (did we learn), and speed (can we do it under time). AI can run that loop if you feed it the right data and ask for the right outputs.

      What I’ve learned: Treat AI as an AP coach and project manager. Give constraints, ask for daily deliverables, and require a weekly KPI summary. That’s how you get consistent gains without micromanaging.

      What you’ll need

      • AP subject, weeks until exam, current vs target score
      • Daily time cap (weekday/weekend) and study window (e.g., 7–7:45pm)
      • Top 2–3 weak topics or question types
      • Timer, scratch paper, past exams or a question bank, and a simple log (paper or notes app)

      How to run this — the performance loop

      1. Calibrate (Day 0, 30 minutes): Do a short timed set (10–15 MCQs or 1 FRQ). Record accuracy %, time spent, and top two error patterns.
      2. Plan (AI, 5 minutes): Ask for a 2-week plan inside your time cap with daily lesson + practice + spaced review, and one weekend timed section.
      3. Execute daily (35–45 minutes): Follow exactly: 20–25 min focused lesson, 10–15 min active practice, 5–10 min spaced review. End with a one-line log.
      4. Assess weekly (30–45 minutes): Run one timed section and update your KPIs. Re-run the AI with your new metrics to adapt next week’s focus.

      Copy-paste AI prompt — Daily Coach (use as-is, replace brackets):

      “Act as an AP [SUBJECT] coach. Constraints: weekdays [MINUTES] minutes, weekends [MINUTES_WEEKEND] minutes, exam in [WEEKS_LEFT] weeks. Current status: mock [CURRENT]/5, target [TARGET]/5. Weak topics: [TOPICS]. Yesterday’s KPIs: adherence [X/1], quiz accuracy [Y%], timed pace [Z Q/min], top error pattern [ERROR]. Today: produce a plan under the time cap with 1) a 20–25 min focused lesson on the highest-leverage weak topic, 2) a 10–15 min active practice (with 5–8 specific questions or an FRQ prompt), 3) a 5–10 min spaced review list. Include: a micro-quiz (5 items) with expected answers, a 30-second parent summary line, and flag any materials needed. Keep it practical and printable.”

      Copy-paste AI prompt — Weekly Adapt:

      “We just finished Week [N] for AP [SUBJECT]. KPIs: plan adherence [DAYS_COMPLETED/DAYS_PLANNED], average quiz accuracy [AVG%], timed pace [QPM], FRQ rubric avg [POINTS], top 2 recurring errors [ERROR1/ERROR2]. Exam in [WEEKS_LEFT] weeks. Create a 7-day plan with daily time under [MINUTES] minutes (weekend under [MINUTES_WEEKEND]). Prioritize the errors above, add 1 timed section, and propose 2 drills that directly raise FRQ rubric points. Deliver: day-by-day tasks, exact question counts, and a one-paragraph parent dashboard for next week’s focus.”

      What to expect

      • A day-by-day schedule capped to your minutes, not a textbook chapter list.
      • Micro-quizzes with answers, so you can score quickly and track accuracy.
      • A one-line parent summary (what was done, accuracy, tomorrow’s focus).

      Insider trick (raises scores faster): Split the week into accuracy-first and speed-later. Monday–Thursday: accuracy and error fixes. Weekend: timed work at exam hour. Then rewrite one missed solution from memory — retention jumps.

      KPIs to track weekly

      • Adherence: Days completed / days planned (target ≥ 80%).
      • Accuracy: Average quiz score on weak topics (target +10–15% per week until ≥ 80%).
      • Speed: MCQ pace (questions per minute) or FRQ completion rate (target exam pace by Week -2).
      • Quality: FRQ rubric points gained (target +1 point on a repeating rubric row each week).
      • Retention: Next-day recall quiz score (target ≥ 70% without notes).

      Common mistakes and fixes

      • Over-ambitious time blocks. Fix: Cap at 40–45 minutes; consistency compounds.
      • Passive reading. Fix: Require micro-quiz + error log every session.
      • Skipping review of misses. Fix: Rewrite one missed solution step-by-step; tag the error pattern (concept, formula, haste).
      • Unclear parent visibility. Fix: Ask the AI for a weekly dashboard line: “This week: [minutes], accuracy [X%→Y%], pace [QPM], biggest error [X], next focus [Y].”

      One-week action plan

      1. Day 0 (30–40 min): Run a mini diagnostic (10–15 MCQs or 1 FRQ). Log accuracy, pace, top two errors.
      2. Day 1 (10 min setup + 35–45 min study): Paste the Daily Coach prompt with your details. Follow the plan exactly. Log time, score, takeaway.
      3. Day 2–3: Repeat Day 1. Keep the time cap. Ensure one drill targets the same weak topic until accuracy ≥ 80%.
      4. Day 4: Target the second weak topic. Add one speed element (e.g., 10 MCQs in 12 minutes).
      5. Day 5 (weekend, 75–90 min): Timed section at exam hour. Score it. Rewrite one missed solution cleanly.
      6. Day 6 (20–30 min): Light spaced review + reflection: what raised accuracy, what slowed pace.
      7. Day 7 (15 min): Paste the Weekly Adapt prompt with your KPIs. Lock next week’s plan.

      Advanced option (optional but potent): Ask the AI to provide a 5-item daily recall quiz that re-surfaces errors from 2, 4, and 7 days ago. This spaced schedule boosts retention without adding study time.

      Simple parent script (copy/paste into AI if you don’t want to wrangle details):

      “I’m the parent. Build and manage a 2-week AP [SUBJECT] plan for my student with a [MINUTES]-minute weekday cap and [MINUTES_WEEKEND]-minute weekend cap. Current: [CURRENT]/5 aiming for [TARGET]/5, exam in [WEEKS_LEFT] weeks, weak in [TOPICS]. Each day send: tasks, a 5-question quiz with answers, and a one-line parent update. Each Sunday, summarize KPIs (adherence, accuracy, pace, FRQ points) and propose next week’s focus. Keep instructions simple and printable.”

      Make the plan. Track the KPIs. Iterate weekly. That’s how scores move predictably. Your move.

      Here’s how to make AI run your AP prep like a small, predictable project — even on busy weeks. You’ll get a focused daily plan, quick micro-quizzes with answers, and a Sunday dashboard that tells you if the time is working.

      High-value insight: Don’t ask for “more study.” Ask AI to optimize three levers — adherence, accuracy, speed — and to adapt next week’s plan to the two biggest error patterns. That is how scores move without burnout.

      What you’ll need

      • AP subject, weeks left, current vs target score
      • Time caps (weekday and weekend), preferred study window
      • Top 2–3 weak topics or question types
      • Timer, scratch paper, past exams or a question bank, and a simple daily log

      Turn it into a weekly system (simple loop)

      1. Mini-diagnostic (Day 0, 30 minutes): 10–15 MCQs or 1 FRQ. Capture: accuracy %, minutes, top two errors.
      2. Plan (AI, 5 minutes): Get a 2-week plan under your time caps. Require daily: short lesson, active practice, 5–10 minute spaced review.
      3. Execute (35–45 minutes/day): Follow the plan, end with a one-line log: minutes, accuracy, one takeaway.
      4. Adjust weekly (30–45 minutes): Timed section on the weekend; re-run AI with your KPIs to refocus next week.

      Copy-paste AI prompt — Daily Coach (refined)

      “Act as an AP [SUBJECT] coach. Constraints: weekdays [MINUTES] minutes, weekends [MINUTES_WEEKEND] minutes, exam in [WEEKS_LEFT] weeks. Current: mock [CURRENT]/5, target [TARGET]/5. Weak topics: [TOPICS]. Yesterday’s KPIs: adherence [0/1 or 1/1], quiz accuracy [Y%], timed pace [Z Q/min], top error [ERROR CODE: concept/formula/misread/haste]. Today: give a plan under the time cap with 1) a 20–25 min focused lesson on the highest-leverage weak topic, 2) a 10–15 min active practice (5–8 specific questions or an FRQ prompt), 3) a 5–10 min spaced review list. Include: a 5-question micro-quiz with expected answers, a 30-second parent summary, and any materials needed. Keep it practical and printable.”

      Copy-paste AI prompt — Weekly Adapt (dashboard + plan)

      “We completed Week [N] for AP [SUBJECT]. KPIs: adherence [DAYS_DONE/DAYS_PLANNED], average quiz accuracy [AVG%], timed pace [QPM], FRQ rubric avg [POINTS], top 2 recurring errors [ERROR1/ERROR2]. Exam in [WEEKS_LEFT] weeks. Create a 7-day plan under [MINUTES] weekdays and [MINUTES_WEEKEND] weekends. Prioritize the errors above, include 1 timed section, and propose 2 drills that raise FRQ rubric points. Deliver: day-by-day tasks with exact question counts, a spaced-review schedule (2/4/7-day resurfacing), and a one-paragraph parent dashboard for next week’s focus.”

      Insider trick: error codes make adaptation instant

      • E1 Concept (didn’t know idea)
      • E2 Formula/Facts (memory gap)
      • E3 Misread (question parsing)
      • E4 Haste (careless)
      • E5 Method (wrong approach)

      Tag each miss with an error code in the log. Ask AI to prioritize the most frequent two codes next week.

      Worked example (AP Biology, 5 weeks left)

      • Current 3/5; target 4/5. 35 minutes weekdays, 70 minutes weekend. Weak in cellular respiration and genetics crosses.
      • Day 1 (35 min): 20-min focused lesson on electron transport + 10-min mixed MCQs (6 Qs) + 5-min flashcards (NADH vs FADH2, ATP yield). Micro-quiz answer key included.
      • Day 3 (35 min): 20-min lesson on Punnett squares with linked genes + 10-min practice (2 short FRQ-style prompts) + 5-min spaced review (terms from Day 1, 2).
      • Weekend (70–80 min): 45-min timed MCQ block + 15-min review of misses by error code + 10-min rewrite of one FRQ outline.

      Quick micro-quiz example with answers (Biology)

      • 1) Main function of the ETC? Answer: Create a proton gradient to drive ATP synthase.
      • 2) Final electron acceptor in aerobic respiration? Answer: Oxygen (forms water).
      • 3) Heterozygous dihybrid cross independent assortment expected ratio? Answer: 9:3:3:1.
      • 4) Which yields more ATP: NADH or FADH2? Answer: NADH.
      • 5) One cause of reduced ATP yield in mitochondria? Answer: Uncoupling/leaky inner membrane or inhibited complexes.

      Optional prompts you’ll use often

      • Diagnostic Maker: “Create a 12-question diagnostic for AP [SUBJECT] focusing on [WEAK TOPICS]. Mix 8 MCQs and 1 FRQ. Provide an answer key and tag each item with the skill tested. Time cap 25 minutes.”
      • Catch-Up Day (missed yesterday): “We missed a day. Compress today for AP [SUBJECT] into [MINUTES] minutes. Keep one weakness drill, one 5-item quiz with answers, and a 2/4/7-day review list. Defer anything nonessential.”
      • FRQ Rubric Booster: “Design two 15-minute drills that target the most commonly missed FRQ rubric rows for AP [SUBJECT] on [TOPIC]. Include a sample response outline and a quick self-scoring checklist.”

      What to expect

      • A realistic daily checklist under your time cap.
      • Quizzes with answers so you can score in minutes.
      • A one-paragraph parent dashboard each Sunday: minutes, accuracy trend, pace, biggest error, next focus.

      Common mistakes and how to fix them

      • Too much content, not enough reps. Fix: Limit lessons to 20–25 minutes; move fast to practice.
      • No error tagging. Fix: Use E1–E5. Ask AI to target the top two codes each week.
      • Skipping spaced review. Fix: Enforce 2/4/7-day resurfacing; ask AI to list exact items.
      • Unclear parent visibility. Fix: Require a daily 30-second summary and a Sunday dashboard line.

      One-week action plan

      1. Today (20–30 min): Run a 12-question diagnostic. Log accuracy, pace, and two error codes.
      2. Then (5 min): Paste the Daily Coach prompt with your numbers. Screenshot the plan.
      3. Mon–Thu: 35–45 minutes/day. End with a one-line log (time, accuracy, takeaway, top error code).
      4. Weekend (70–90 min): Timed section at exam hour; review misses by error code; rewrite one FRQ outline.
      5. Sunday (15 min): Paste the Weekly Adapt prompt with your KPIs. Lock next week.

      Reminder: Consistency beats intensity. Keep the time cap, tag every error, and let AI adapt the plan. Small, measured wins stack into big score gains.

      Your three levers and the E1–E5 error codes are the right engine. Now make it self-correcting: add clear thresholds, a one-glance dashboard, and a forecast so you know if you’re on track without guessing.

      The gap: Plans stall when you can’t see “Are we on pace for the target score?” Parents and adult learners need a traffic-light view (green/yellow/red) and a simple rule for what to do when the light turns yellow.

      Why it matters: Thresholds remove debate. The AI adapts the work; your dashboard drives decisions. Ten focused minutes on Sunday replaces hours of uncertainty.

      Lesson from running score-move projects: Treat KPIs as gates. If a KPI slips, trigger a predefined fix the very next day. No negotiations, no blame. That’s how you protect momentum in busy weeks.

      Build the self-correcting system (30–40 minutes)

      1. Set thresholds (RYG) — copy these targets:
        • Adherence (days done/days planned): Green ≥ 80%, Yellow 60–79%, Red < 60%.
        • Accuracy (weak-topic quizzes): Aim +10–15% per week until ≥ 80%, then hold 80–90%.
        • Speed (MCQ Q/min or FRQ completion): Ramp toward exam pace by two weeks out.
        • FRQ rubric points: +1 net point/week on a repeating rubric row.
        • Retention (next-day recall quiz): ≥ 70% without notes.
        • Fatigue (RPE 1–5, quick self-rating): Keep ≤ 3; if 4–5 for two days, shorten lessons by 5 minutes.
      2. Spin up a one-page tracker (notes app or paper). Columns: Date, Minutes, Lesson topic, Quiz % (items/score), Pace (Q/min or FRQ done), Error codes (top two), RPE, Takeaway, Tomorrow focus.
      3. Daily cadence (no decision fatigue): 20–25 min lesson → 10–15 min practice → 5–10 min spaced review → 60-second log. If you miss a day, run a compressed make-up (keep the weakness drill + micro-quiz only).
      4. Weekly checkpoint (Sunday, 15 minutes): One timed section, score it, compute KPIs, run the AI dashboard prompt below, accept the next plan.
      5. Two-mode weeks: Mon–Thu = accuracy-first; Weekend = timed + rewrite one miss. Ask AI to surface items from 2/4/7 days ago for retention without extra minutes.
      6. Parent visibility: Require a daily 30-second summary line and a Sunday one-paragraph dashboard. If any KPI is yellow/red, trigger the matching fix (see below).

      Copy-paste AI prompt — RYG Dashboard + Forecast

      “You are my AP [SUBJECT] prep analyst. Here is this week’s log (one line per day): [PASTE LOG]. Exam in [WEEKS_LEFT] weeks. Target score [TARGET]/5, current mock [CURRENT]/5. Time caps: [WEEKDAY] weekdays, [WEEKEND] weekends. Error codes: E1 Concept, E2 Facts, E3 Misread, E4 Haste, E5 Method. 1) Compute KPIs: adherence, avg quiz accuracy on weak topics, timed pace, FRQ rubric avg, retention (if present), avg RPE. 2) Assign R/Y/G status using: Adherence ≥80% G; 60–79% Y; <60% R. Accuracy: +10–15% WoW until ≥80% then hold; Speed: within 10% of exam pace by Week -2 = G; FRQ points +1/wk = G. 3) Forecast: given trend, are we on track for [TARGET]/5 in [WEEKS_LEFT]? State confidence (High/Med/Low) and the two biggest risks by error code. 4) Prescribe next-week plan under caps with exact counts and two FRQ drills tied to the highest-impact rubric rows. 5) Output a parent dashboard: Minutes, Accuracy trend, Pace, Biggest error, Next focus, Risk level. Keep it concise and printable.”

      What you’ll get

      • A color-coded summary and a plain-English forecast (on track / at risk) with two risks named.
      • A day-by-day plan that prioritizes the highest-yield fixes for your two biggest error codes.
      • A parent dashboard paragraph you can read in 30 seconds.

      Insider trick: Attack E5 Method before speed work. Method errors cap both accuracy and pace. Two short “method correction” drills often lift FRQ points faster than more MCQs.

      Mistakes to avoid and immediate fixes

      • Yellow adherence two weeks in a row. Fix: Lock a smaller default: 25-minute weekday cap. Ask AI for “bare-minimum days” with only one weakness drill + micro-quiz.
      • Accuracy flat < 70%. Fix: Switch to 2:1 ratio of weakness drills to new content; require rewrite-from-memory for one miss daily.
      • Pace work started too early. Fix: Hold speed until accuracy on the focus topic is ≥ 80% two days in a row.
      • No retention checks. Fix: Add a 5-item next-day recall at the start; retire items scoring 4/5 twice.
      • Parent can’t see progress. Fix: Demand the AI’s Sunday dashboard line in every weekly plan and screenshot it.

      Metrics to track weekly

      • Adherence % and total minutes.
      • Average quiz accuracy on the top two weak topics.
      • Timed pace vs exam target (Q/min or FRQ completion rate).
      • FRQ rubric points gained on one repeating row.
      • Retention score (first 5 questions, no notes).
      • Top two error codes by frequency.

      Copy-paste AI prompt — Compression Day (missed yesterday)

      “We missed yesterday for AP [SUBJECT]. Build today’s session into [MINUTES] minutes. Prioritize: 1) one weakness drill targeting [TOP TWO ERROR CODES], 2) one 5-item recall quiz resurfacing items from 2/4/7 days ago with answers, 3) a 30-second parent summary. Defer anything nonessential. Ensure the plan fits exactly within the time cap.”

      One-week action plan (crystal clear)

      1. Today (20–30 min): Run a 12-question diagnostic or one FRQ. Log accuracy, pace, and top two error codes. Set your RYG thresholds.
      2. Today (10 min): Paste the RYG Dashboard + Forecast prompt with your Day 0 numbers. Approve the returned 7-day plan.
      3. Mon–Thu (35–45 min/day): Follow the plan. Start with a 5-item recall, end with a one-line log and RPE 1–5. If you miss a day, use the Compression Day prompt.
      4. Weekend (70–90 min): Timed section at exam hour. Score, tag errors, rewrite one miss from memory.
      5. Sunday (15 min): Paste the week’s log into the RYG Dashboard + Forecast prompt. Lock next week’s plan and note which KPI is yellow or red with the fix to apply on Monday.

      Expectation setting: You’re aiming for steady, visible movement in accuracy and FRQ points first; speed follows. The dashboard will make “on track” obvious within two Sundays.

      Your move.
