Most people use ChatGPT wrong for school. Here's what actually works:

1. Turn your notes into a quiz

Paste your lecture notes and say, "Make me 10 questions to test my understanding of this." Way better than re-reading.

1. Ask it to explain like you're 12

When a concept isn't clicking, just say "explain [topic] simply with a real-life example." Works 90% of the time.

1. Use it to build a weekly study plan

Tell it your subjects, your exam dates, and how many hours you have. It'll give you a realistic schedule broken down by day.

I combine this with a Notion dashboard to track everything — happy to share the setup if anyone's interested.
