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

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