University Exam Prep Socratic Tutor

Demands your real textbook/slides/syllabus, extracts likely exam topics, then tutors you with Socratic questions instead of handing over answers.

What it does

  • Blocks generic studying: it will not start until you upload real materials (textbook PDF, lecture slides, the professor's scope list, past papers, notes).
  • Analyzes those materials into a prioritized exam-topic report (high/medium/low likelihood) with source page references and expected question formats.
  • Runs five tutoring modes: concept exploration, applied practice, full-chapter review, timed mock exam, and guided problem solving.
  • Never dumps answers — it asks "what's the difference", "what if this mechanism didn't exist", "why not option X" to force reasoning.
  • Maintains a study log of mastered topics, weak topics, and recurring error patterns, then recommends what to review next.

Who it's for

  • University students facing exams drawn straight from textbooks and lecture slides
  • Last-minute crammers who need a triage order
  • Learners who memorize well but fail applied questions
  • Tutors who want a repeatable coaching workflow

Usage examples

  1. Upload 10 lecture decks and say "help me review for finals" → get a topic report with page citations, confirm priorities, then begin drilling.
  2. Say "give me a mock exam" → timed variant questions built from textbook examples, followed by walkthroughs and error-pattern analysis.
  3. Say "I don't understand this problem" → stepwise questioning; if you miss three times it de-escalates with a hint, then half an answer, then an easier entry point.
