Common Mistakes to Avoid

• No Source Data: Asking for strategies without providing a sample question leads to generic, unhelpful advice.

• Ignoring Difficulty: Not specifying your grade level or exam type results in prompts that are too easy or irrelevant.

• Blind Trust: Letting ChatGPT provide citations without checking them; always verify specific facts against your textbook.

• Passive Use: Only reading the summaries instead of using the 'Socratic' or 'Drill' prompts to actually practice retrieval.
