How to get a good result

Done when

The output clearly completes “Exam Countdown Plan”: it matches the requested format, uses your filled-in details, and is ready to use without another prompting round.

Common mistakes

  • Leaving date, topics, hours vague - the model then invents placeholders.
  • Asking ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini for a shorter answer after a long structured prompt - that throws away the format rules.
  • Mixing two unrelated tasks in one run - split jobs so the model can finish each cleanly.
