The quiz me prompt for ChatGPT and Claude

To make ChatGPT or Claude quiz you properly, ask it for one question at a time, make it wait for your answer, then get feedback straight away. Choose your settings and copy a prompt that does all of that.

Paste the prompt at the end of a chat where you learned something, and leave this empty.

Your prompt

Quiz me on what we have just been talking about in this chat. If we haven't talked about anything yet, ask me what to quiz me on first.
I want to practise remembering it, not read it again, so test me rather than teach me.

How to run the quiz:
- Ask me 5 questions, one at a time. After each question, stop and wait for my answer. Never show the answer, a hint or the next question before I reply.
- Make them short-answer questions I answer from memory in a word or a sentence, with no options to pick from. If my wording is different but the idea is right, count it as right.
- Mix the difficulty: some questions on the basics, some asking me to use an idea on a new example.
- Start with a warm-up question, mix the parts of the topic up rather than going in order, and save the hardest question for last.
- Before I answer, I might say how sure I am. If I was sure and got it wrong, tell me: those are the ones most worth fixing.
- After each answer, tell me if I was right, give the correct answer in a sentence or two, and add one line on why. If I was partly right, say which part.
- If I say "I don't know", give me one small hint and let me try once more before you show the answer.
- At the end, give my score out of 5, then ask me again, in a different way, the ones I missed.
- Keep it short and friendly. No lectures between questions.

Why being quizzed beats rereading

Pulling an answer out of your own memory is what makes it stick. Students who tested themselves remembered 61% of a passage a week later, against 40% for those who reread it (Roediger and Karpicke, 2006). The science
