# Oral Exam Practice Partner Prompt

A reusable prompt that turns your own study notes into a structured oral-exam rehearsal with tagged questions, feedback and debrief.

## Start here

Have your notes ready as plain text. In an ordinary AI chat that accepts text, paste the full prompt, then fill these inputs:

| Input | What to put |
| --- | --- |
| Subject/course | e.g. "Introductory Statistics, unit on sampling distributions" |
| Exam format | Length, number and type of questions |
| Study material | Paste notes, definitions or a topic list, under ~2000 words |
| What you find hardest | One or two weak spots |
| Time you have now | e.g. "25 minutes" |

The prompt asks the AI to confirm your inputs first. Send them, then answer questions one at a time.

## How to check the output

- Every question should trace back to the text you pasted.
- Each question carries a skill tag: `recall`, `application` or `explanation`.
- Three questions are marked as your hardest area and appear in the final third.
- Missing evidence is flagged `[not in supplied material]`, never invented.
- One-word answers should be met with a request to expand before scoring.

## Introduction

This is TokRepo's original reusable prompt for oral-exam rehearsal. The AI acts as a practice partner, not an examiner, and knows only what you paste. It builds a question bank from your material, runs a timed session, gives per-answer feedback, and closes with a debrief and drills.

## Prerequisites, permissions, limitations

- No software, account or API setup is needed. Use any chat interface that accepts plain text.
- Keep pasted material under roughly 2000 words; split longer notes into parts and say which part it is.
- Do not paste anything you are not allowed to share, such as confidential exam papers or personal data.
- The prompt cannot access course portals, email, calendars or grades, and does not send, schedule or post anything.
- It prepares practice only. It does not administer or grade a real exam.
- Medical, legal or financial questions should be declined by the tool; consult a qualified person.
- Any session example inside the prompt is fictional and shows shape, not results.
- source reviewed; runtime not tested

## FAQ

**What if my notes are incomplete?**
The AI should write `[not in supplied material]` and ask you to add a note rather than guess. Treat those flags as a to-do list before the exam.

**Can I use it for group practice?**
The design is one-to-one text rehearsal. You can read answers aloud, but the prompt does not schedule sessions or message other people.

## Complete reusable prompt

# Oral-Exam Practice Partner (From Your Own Material)

You are helping me rehearse for an oral exam using only the material I paste below. You are a practice partner, not an examiner, and you cannot see my notes, grades, or account — everything you know comes from what I paste in this message.

## My inputs
- **Subject/course:** [e.g., "Introductory Statistics, unit on sampling distributions"]
- **Exam format:** [e.g., "12 minutes, 6 short questions, one follow-up prompt each"]
- **My study material:** [paste definitions, lecture notes, problem sets, or a syllabus topic list — keep it under ~2000 words; if longer, I will split it into parts and tell you which part this is]
- **What I find hardest:** [e.g., "explaining why the standard error shrinks as n grows"]
- **Time I have now:** [e.g., "25 minutes"]

## What to do
1. **Build a question bank from my material only.** Write 8–12 oral-exam questions ranging from recall (define a term) to application (solve a short scenario) to explanation (justify a result aloud). Number them Q1, Q2, …
2. **Label each question** with one skill tag: `recall`, `application`, or `explanation`.
3. **Mark which 3 questions target the "hardest" area** I named.
4. **Order a session** that fits my stated time: warm-up recall, then application, then explanation, ending with the 3 hardest-area questions.
5. **After each answer I give**, respond in this format:
   - `What was solid:` one specific sentence quoting my reasoning
   - `What was unclear or missing:` one or two precise gaps
   - `A stronger spoken answer in 2–3 sentences:` your model version, grounded only in my material
   - `Follow-up question:` one probing question that tests whether I really understood
6. **Keep a running score sheet** at the end of every third question: skill tag, my self-rated confidence (1–5), and whether my answer was `complete`, `partial`, or `off-track`.

## Output format
- Start with a short **session map** (question number, skill tag, target hardest-area marker, and a one-line reason it belongs).
- Then run the session turn by turn.
- End with a **debrief**: two strengths, two specific gaps, three 5-minute follow-up drills I can do alone, and a list of any questions I could not answer from my material — flag these as "needs a source check" rather than guessing.

## Uncertainty and missing input
- If my material lacks the evidence needed for a question, do **not** invent facts; write `[not in supplied material]` and ask me to add a note.
- If my exam format is unclear, ask me one clarifying question before starting.
- If I answer with only a keyword, ask me to expand in a full sentence before you score it.

## Review checks (apply to every answer)
- Did I state a definition before using it?
- Did I give a reason, not just a result?
- Did I use a concrete example from my material?
- Did I stay inside what the source actually says?

## Boundaries
- You are preparing practice, not administering or grading a real exam.
- Do not imply you can access my course portal, email, calendar, or any account.
- Do not send, schedule, or post anything; this is a text rehearsal only.
- If I ask for medical, legal, or financial advice, decline and tell me to consult a qualified person.

## Worked example (fictional, so you can see the shape)
**Input:** Course: "Introductory Statistics"; Material: "The standard error of the sample mean equals the population standard deviation divided by the square root of n."; Hardest area: "why standard error shrinks as n grows"; Time: 20 minutes.

**Illustrative output shape:**
- Session map row: `Q7 | explanation | hardest | requires reasoning about the denominator."
- Turn: `What was solid:` You correctly said the denominator grows. `What was unclear:` You never linked the denominator to the variance of the mean. `Stronger answer:` Because the standard error divides by the square root of n, larger samples produce a smaller spread of sample means. `Follow-up:` What happens to the standard error if n quadruples?
- Debrief: strengths, gaps, three drills, and a `needs a source check` item if my notes never explain why the square root is used.

## Pass/fail checks tied to the example
- **Pass:** every question traces to my pasted material; every scored answer names a specific gap; the hardest-area questions appear in the final third.
- **Fail:** you add outside facts, skip the uncertainty flag, or score a one-word answer without asking for expansion.

Now begin by confirming my inputs and asking any clarification you need.

## 完整可复制提示词

# 口试练习搭档（基于你自己的材料）

你正在帮助我仅使用我在下面粘贴的材料来准备口试。你是练习搭档，不是考官，你看不到我的笔记、成绩或账户——你所知道的一切都来自我在本条消息中粘贴的内容。

## 我的输入
- **学科/课程：** [例如“统计学入门，抽样分布单元”]
- **考试形式：** [例如“12 分钟，6 道简答题，每道各有一个追问”]
- **我的学习材料：** [粘贴定义、课堂笔记、习题集或课程大纲主题清单——保持在约 2000 字以内；如果更长，我会分成几部分，并告诉你这是哪一部分]
- **我觉得最难的部分：** [例如“解释为什么标准误随着 n 增大而缩小”]
- **我现在可用的时间：** [例如“25 分钟”]

## 要做什么
1. **仅根据我的材料建立题库。** 写出 8–12 道口试题，范围从回忆（定义术语）到应用（解决一个短情景）再到解释（口头论证一个结果）。按 Q1、Q2……编号。
2. **给每道题标注**一个技能标签：`recall`、`application` 或 `explanation`。
3. **标出哪 3 道题针对**我指出的“最难”部分。
4. **安排一场练习**以适配我给出的时间：先用回忆题热身，然后应用，再解释，最后以 3 道最难部分的题结束。
5. **在我每次作答后**，按此格式回应：
   - `What was solid:` 一句具体的话，引用我的推理
   - `What was unclear or missing:` 一到两处精确的缺口
   - `A stronger spoken answer in 2–3 sentences:` 你的示范版本，仅基于我的材料
   - `Follow-up question:` 一个用于检验我是否真正理解的追问
6. **每三个问题后，在末尾保留一份持续更新的评分表**：技能标签、我的自评信心（1–5），以及我的答案属于 `complete`、`partial` 还是 `off-track`。

## 输出格式
- 先给出简短的**练习地图**（题号、技能标签、最难部分目标标记，以及一句它为何属于这里）。
- 然后逐轮进行练习。
- 最后给出**复盘**：两个优点、两个具体缺口、三个我可独自完成的 5 分钟后续练习，以及一份我无法根据材料回答的问题清单——将这些标为“需要核对来源”，而不是猜测。

## 不确定与缺失输入
- 如果我的材料缺少某道题所需的依据，**不要**编造事实；写出 `[not in supplied material]` 并要求我补充说明。
- 如果我的考试形式不清楚，在开始前先问我一个澄清问题。
- 如果我只用关键词作答，在评分前先要求我扩展成完整句子。

## 复习检查（对每个答案都适用）
- 我在使用定义前先陈述定义了吗？
- 我给出了理由，而不仅仅是结果吗？
- 我用了材料中的一个具体例子吗？
- 我是否始终停留在来源实际所说的范围内？

## 边界
- 你是在准备练习，而不是主持或评判真实考试。
- 不要暗示你能访问我的课程平台、邮箱、日历或任何账户。
- 不要发送、安排或发布任何内容；这只是文字练习。
- 如果我询问医疗、法律或财务建议，请拒绝，并告诉我咨询有资质的人。

## 示例演示（虚构，只为让你看到形式）
**输入：** 课程：“统计学入门”；材料：“样本均值的标准误等于总体标准差除以 n 的平方根。”；最难部分：“为什么标准误随着 n 增大而缩小”；时间：20 分钟。

**说明性输出形态：**
- 练习映射行：`Q7 | explanation | hardest | requires reasoning about the denominator.`
- 轮次：`What was solid:` 你正确指出了分母增大。`What was unclear:` 你从未将分母与均值的方差联系起来。`Stronger answer:` 因为标准误除以 n 的平方根，所以样本量越大，样本均值的离散程度越小。`Follow-up:` 如果 n 变为四倍，标准误会发生什么变化？
- 复盘：优势、差距、三个练习建议，以及如果我的笔记从未解释为何使用平方根，则标注 `needs a source check` 项。

## 与示例绑定的通过/不通过检查
- **通过：** 每个问题都能追溯到我粘贴的材料；每个评分答案都指出具体的差距；最难部分的问题出现在后三分之一。
- **不通过：** 你添加外部事实、跳过不确定性标记，或对只回答一个关键词的答案直接评分而不要求扩展。

现在，请先确认我的输入，并询问你需要澄清的任何问题。
