Exam Prep

Category: General  ·  Sub-category: knowledge-mgmt  ·  Last updated:
type:review
Turn past exams into a realistic mock exam that mirrors how the real one will feel — same question types, same structure, same point distribution, same phrasing style. The skill reads one or more past exams, detects the patterns (multiple choice, short answer, case scenarios, calculation problems, essays — whatever shows up), then generates a new exam over the same topics. Answers are revealed only AFTER the student submits, so it works as real practice instead of read-along review. MANDATORY TRIGGERS: 'help me prep for my exam', 'mock exam', 'generate practice questions from this exam', 'past exam practice', 'turn this into practice questions', 'study for the final', 'quiz me from these past exams'. STRONG TRIGGERS (when the student has past exams in hand): 'I have an exam next week', 'how do I study for this', 'I'm prepping for [class] final', 'practice for the midterm', 'simulate the exam'. Do NOT trigger on: single-concept explanations, flashcard requests for one topic, generic 'explain this topic' questions, or homework help on a specific assignment. DO trigger whenever the student has at least one past or sample exam (PDF, image, doc, or pasted text) and wants practice that looks and feels like the real thing — even if they don't use the word 'mock'.

From the source SKILL.md

The single best signal for what your professor will test, and how, is what they've tested before. Past exams reveal question types, phrasing style, point distribution, time pressure, and the topics that keep coming back. This skill takes one or more past exams from the student, learns the pattern, and produces a fresh mock exam that feels like the real one — with answers withheld until the student actually submits, so it works as practice instead of read-along review.

What this skill does

Exam Prep is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the knowledge-mgmt sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/exam-prep/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
