## Prompt

```text
Plan my final week before a certification exam.

**Certification:** [NAME]
**Exam date, time, and format:** [e.g. "Friday 9am, online proctored, 180 questions, 230 minutes"]
**Latest practice scores:** [SCORES AND DATES]
**Remaining weak spots:** [PASTE FROM STEP 4, or list them]
**Must-know facts, formulas, or frameworks:** [PASTE MY NOTES]
**Hours available each day this week:** [DETAILS]

Return:
1. A day-by-day plan: targeted review of weak spots early in the week, one final full practice exam 3-4 days out, light review only the day before, and no new material in the last 48 hours.
2. A one-page memory sheet built only from the notes I pasted: key facts, formulas, process orders, and easily confused pairs. Mark anything that looks wrong or incomplete with [CHECK].
3. An exam-day checklist: ID requirements, arrival or check-in time, and, for online proctoring, the system check, room setup, and allowed items. Mark each with [CONFIRM with the exam provider's current rules].
4. An in-exam strategy: time checkpoints, when to flag and move on, how to use review time, and guessing rules (confirm whether wrong answers are penalized).
5. A short plan for nerves: what to do the night before, the morning of, and if I blank on a question.
6. If I don't pass: how to read the score report and plan a retake (check the provider's retake waiting period and fees).

This is step 5 of the "Pass a professional certification exam" pack. It works on its own, and can use the mistake analysis from step 4.
