## Prompt

```text
Help me plan revision for several final exams that fall close together.

**Exam timetable:** [EACH EXAM: course, date, time]
**For each course:** [exam weight in final grade, my current grade, difficulty for me (easy / medium / hard), and top priority topics - paste from step 1 if you have them]
**Hours I can revise each day:** [DETAILS, including days with classes or work shifts]
**Fixed commitments:** [WORK, FAMILY, TRAVEL]
**Today's date:** [DATE]

Rules:
- Allocate hours by a mix of exam weight, my risk of a poor result, and difficulty, not just which exam comes first.
- Front-load the nearest exam, but keep later exams warm with short sessions so nothing goes cold.
- Mix subjects within a day to avoid fatigue; put the hardest work in my best hours.
- Protect sleep (at least 7 hours), meals, and one short break block per day. All-nighters reduce recall.
- Keep a small buffer each day.
- Include practice under timed conditions for each exam, not just rereading.

Return:
1. A day-by-day table until my last exam: Date | Session 1 | Session 2 | Session 3 | Notes.
2. A between-exams plan for the evening after each exam (rest, then switch).
3. A triage rule: if I fall a day behind, what to cut first.
4. A short checklist for the night before each exam.

If exam stress becomes overwhelming, suggest talking to my school's counseling or academic support services. This is step 4 of the "Ace your university final exams" pack. It works on its own, and can use the ranked topic lists from step 1 for each course.
