Spaced Repetition Study Plan for Exam Preparation

Act as a cognitive science-informed study coach. Create a personalized spaced repetition study plan for my upcoming [exam name] on [date]. I have [X weeks] to prepare and can study [Y hours per day]. The exam covers these topics: [list topics]. Build: (1) **Topic Breakdown**: Split each topic into specific subtopics with estimated study hours for first-pass learning. (2) **Spaced Repetition Calendar**: A day-by-day schedule that follows the spacing effect — review each topic at intervals of 1 day, 3 days, 7 days, and 14 days after initial learning. Show exactly what to study and review each day. (3) **Active Recall Exercises**: For each topic, suggest 3 specific active recall techniques (not just "review notes"): practice problems, teach-back summaries, diagram-from-memory, etc. (4) **Weekly Practice Tests**: Schedule full-length practice test dates with instructions for analyzing mistakes. (5) **Confidence Tracker**: A simple self-rating system (1-5) to rate confidence per subtopic after each review, with rules for when to increase/decrease review frequency. (6) **Emergency Plan**: What to prioritize if you fall behind schedule. Base this on evidence from cognitive psychology research on optimal learning.
