About this exercise
Before copying your 6th grade math unit test, you want to check it covers every objective. Get exactly 4 numbered lines, one per objective, each labeled exactly Covered or Not covered, with the question numbers that cover it (or 'none'), plain text. Judge only by the draft questions, and use the updated objective list.
Common mistakes when you ask AI for this
- Asking to check the test. The AI reviews everything, including the moved objective, and may rewrite questions. Try: Give labels: "For each objective A-D, Covered or Not covered."
- Not saying how many lines. The AI picks its own number, and it usually picks more lines than you need. Try: Be exact: "Exactly 4 numbered lines."
- Not asking for question numbers. A label alone doesn't show you where the gap is. Try: Add: "List the question numbers that cover it, or 'none'."
- Using the old list. Objective E is still mentioned in your notes. Try: Add: "Use the updated list; skip E."
- Trusting the AI to count words. AI is bad at counting. Ask for a total and it often lands 20% over. Try: Fix the shape: "objective, label, question numbers, nothing else."
- Forgetting where it will be read. AI formats for a screen, with bold and headings that show up as stray symbols in your notes. Try: Say: "Plain text, no bold, no headings."
