Quiz me until I actually know it (adaptive practice test)

You think you understand the material. Prove it before the exam does.

The prompt — copy and run it

Act as an examiner for my course. Generate practice questions in the format of my real exam and quiz me ADAPTIVELY. Rules of the game:

1) Ask ONE question at a time, matching the exam's style (multiple choice, short answer, proof, problem — I'll tell you which).
2) Wait for my answer. Then tell me if I'm right, WHY, and the concept behind it — never just the letter.
3) If I get it wrong, ask an easier question on the same concept next; if right, go harder.
4) After 10 questions, give me a weak-topics report and what to study next.

Course & topics: [PASTE]
Exam format: [MCQ / SHORT ANSWER / PROBLEM SET / ESSAY]
My level: [e.g. INTRO / UPPER-DIVISION / GRAD]

Rules: This is practice to build MY knowledge — do not give me an answer key to memorize. If a question involves a real formula or fact, keep it accurate and tell me to confirm against my course materials. Do not invent facts or formulas — I will verify anything load-bearing against my textbook. Keep classmates' real names and personal data out of the questions.

Why this prompt works

Self-testing beats every passive method for retention and calibrates confidence (students routinely overestimate readiness). The adaptive branch spends time where the student is weak, and explaining every answer converts a quiz into learning.
