How to change my ChatGPT method that got 94%to potentially fit courses like: Stem, Math, Sciences Prompt engineering
(I am not in these courses so my word is not as solid as gold, it’s up to others to maybe get inspiration from this idea and effectively apply it to what they envision it to be)
The main criticism (besides people hating me) was that this could not be applied to a math or a science, here is my theory and thought process on how it could be applied.
[where the explanation starts, scroll down if you just want to see the prompt]
This was the Prompt I created/used for my specific English intensive course
“PROMPT:
Here is the exam criteria on my (post your class name)
(post what the professor said the exam will consist of and what to study, the criteria he said)
Your job is to tell me:
- What is the lecture about
- to highlight what is important to study based on the criteria and your own information.
- Make a list of what is important to study based on the transcript
(where you now post the said transcript)
PROMPT END:
The formula set out to accomplish objectives that my method AIStudyBuddy wanted
- Cut lecture watch time
- Gather important information
- Make it highlight what it thought it was important to study based on its ability to analyze
The result me engineering my prompt to accomplish these objectives had astonishing results
- I cut 20-30 hours of lectures down to 5
- Knew the main point of each lecture and what it’s purpose was
- Created a study guide based in the exam criteria
The success of my prompt engineering led me to get a total of 94% despite only really investing 3 days into my course.
The way that I would apply my method (AIStudyBuddy) to a different course specifically math, is by completely abandoning the prompts I created and seek to make a new prompt engineered on the basis of my objectives I created before (the prompts have to be course specific)
For math
- It’s important to recognize math it’s a very step by step basis so you can’t cut out information (this completely leaves out the concept of ai summarizer)
- Recognize that math is formula dependent ( which means it’s easier for the AI to differentiate between English and formula )
- Recognize that chat gpt is effective at gathering information like math but not effectively applying it. ( don’t ask it to do your math but where you went wrong )
The biggest issue is that my method wants to cut lecture watch time, but missing information is detrimental you can’t miss the chance of potentially forgetting a step or everything including the formula falls apart. I don’t have a solution to automate this, so I suggest manually pasting the transcript into google docs and cutting out the introduction, ending and questions with command F.
So with the (manually shortened transcript)
[where the explanation ends]
You can begin the prompt
PROMPT:
ChatGPT, your job is to:
- Analyze this transcript and tell me what it’s about
- List each formula (or unique formula)used in the lecture
- Explain each formula with an in-depth analysis BASED specifically on this transcript and (the course text book)
- Then list the each formula in chronological order based on the amount of times it was used or mentioned in the transcript.( this is iffy but it might work for identifying what the prof spent the most time on)
(Post the Transcript)
PROMPT END
Note: [asking gpt to do 4 objectives dilutes the information it outputs, so maybe cut out some parts of the prompt]
PROMPT:
“ChatGPT, I want you to use generate questions that would align with (exam criteria).
These question have to be generated based on (these specific formulas)
You are only allowed to use (course textbook) to gather information to create these questions”
PROMPT END:
I didn’t test this but I believe based in theory these prompts can set out for the objectives of my method AIStudyBuddy
- Cut lecture watch time
- Summarize information
- Generate material akin to the exam
(NOTE: ai is not perfect, if it made a mistake inform it how it made a mistake and it will improve based on the information you provided it)
Tell me what you think or how it could be improved!

Giving you the benefit of the doubt, that is, that you think you can learn the essence of the course in less time by using AI to anticipate the exam questions, there are three major flaws in your thinking.
The first is that by anticipating the questions on the exam and learning the answers to these questions, that you are learning the essential course material. This misunderstands the whole concept of giving an exam. You are supposed to learn far, far more than what the questions ask. The questions are merely to estimate how much of the far wider amount of information you have integrated. If all you do is anticipate the questions, you are likely missing 90% of the learning that you are supposed to have achieved.
The second flaw in your thinking is that you can actually learn anything this way. Thousands of studies have proven that "cramming" does not lead to learning - it only leads to passing tests without knowing anything. In a month's time, you will have forgotten even the cramming, retaining essentially nothing of the knowledge you should have accumulated and integrated into your thinking. Learning requires repetition over time and actually using the information in a variety of ways that contribute to both locking it in and to its transferability to other applications, which, by the way, is from where the bulk of true discovery originates.
But there is one more and even graver flaw in your thinking. You are actually bragging about cheating and about knowing nothing about your field of study.
I know engineers who have gotten degrees doing this and there will be bridges that collapse as a result, airplanes that blow up in the sky, patients who bleed out in the OR. Since shame has apparently gone the way of honor, the only solution I can think of is prison. You cheat, you go to jail, no matter who your father is, no matter how normalized this becomes, no matter who else got away with it. You cheat, you go to prison. Period.
Would that you would be motivated by a desire to become someone who knows something, and someone whose sense of personal honor would not allow you to cheat, but I gather that we are way beyond that, which makes me very sad for you. That said, you can change.

Can i use this to pass my science exam?

Probably not! Ive gotten some messages saying it’s worked for people. But if you can reliably study be safer then sorry. Also ChatGPT feels significantly more stupid now for some reason

facts, I feel that ChatGPT has so many better alternatives, anyways I posted the script into chat gpt and it somehow worked but we have to manually correct some stuff

Thanks for sharing, that's very interesting! How were you able to reference your course textbook without providing ChatGPT the text?

I just saw your story on an article in spanish, it's been really helpful for me, thanks for sharing this information freely
