Help me learn from mistakes properly, not just note them.

The mistakes (for each: the question or task, what I answered, what was correct):
<paste 3–10 items>
Context: <what I'm studying, what the test or work is like>

For each mistake:
1. Category: knowledge gap, misread the question, careless, applied the wrong method, or ran out of time.
2. Why I probably fell for it: the trap in the question or the habit in my thinking.
3. The rule: one sentence, in my own future words, that would have prevented it. Concrete, not "be careful".
4. A memory hook: a short phrase, image or check I can run in the moment.
5. One fresh practice question of the same type, without the answer, for tomorrow.

Then, across all mistakes:
6. The pattern: which category dominates, and what that says about how I should study differently.
7. The three rules worth writing at the top of my notes.

Be precise about what was wrong. Don't soften it, and don't lecture.

Replace every <placeholder> with your own details before you send it.

How to use it

  1. 1Paste your actual wrong answer next to the right one. The gap between them is the lesson.
  2. 2Keep the rules in one file. Read it before the next test.
  3. 3Ask for the 'why I fell for it' section. Recognising the trap is half the fix.
