About this exercise
You're running a review game for 9th grade Physical Science. Get exactly 4 numbered multiple-choice questions, each with 4 choices labeled A) to D) where the wrong choices come from the misconceptions in your notes, then an 'Answers' line with just the letters, under 220 words total, plain text. Use only content from today's unit notes.
Common mistakes when you ask AI for this
- Not saying how many questions. The AI picks its own number, and it usually picks more questions than you need. Try: Be exact: "Exactly 4 numbered questions."
- Trusting the AI to count words. AI is bad at counting. Ask for a total and it often lands 20% over. Try: Cap each part: "each question under 20 words, each choice under 8."
- Getting random distractors. The AI writes obviously wrong choices, so the game doesn't reveal who still holds a misconception. Try: Add: "Build wrong choices from the misconceptions in my notes."
- Not showing the format. The AI may write open questions or mark the answer under each one. Try: Show it: "choices A) to D), then 'Answers' with letters only."
- Drifting into the next unit. The AI may add calculations from Unit 4. Try: Add: "Only Unit 3 content, no calculations."
