- “Add more worked examples to the study guide for chapter 5”
- “Expand the revision guide with key concepts from section 3”
- “Add a one-page summary sheet at the end”
Adding Study Guide Elements
Definitions
- “Add boxed definitions for all key terms”
- “Add a glossary section at the end”
- “Highlight definitions throughout the text”
Worked Examples
- “Add 3 worked examples showing how to solve quadratic equations”
- “Include step-by-step solutions with explanations”
- “Add examples that increase in difficulty”
Key Concept Boxes
- “Put key formulas in highlighted boxes”
- “Add ‘Remember’ callouts for common mistakes”
- “Create ‘Key Point’ sections for each topic”
Practice Problems
- “Add 10 practice problems with answers at the end”
- “Include problems at three difficulty levels”
- “Add self-check questions after each section”
Assignments
Assignments include homework, worksheets, tests, and exams. They need clear instructions, appropriate formatting, and often mark schemes.Enhancing Assignments
- “Add 5 more questions to reach 50 marks total”
- “Expand this to cover chapters 3-5”
- “Format this in the style of GCSE papers”
Question Types

- “Add 2 extended response questions worth 10 marks each”
Marking and Points
- “Assign marks to each question totaling 100”
- “Add mark allocations in brackets after each question”
- “Create a mark scheme with acceptable answers”
Instructions and Headers
- “Add instructions at the top explaining what equipment is allowed”
- “Include a header with space for name and date”
- “Add time allowed: 45 minutes”
Answer Spaces
- “Add lined space for written answers”
- “Include boxes for numerical answers”
- “Add a grid for graphing questions”
Mathematical Content
Both study guides and assignments often include math. Here’s how to add it effectively.Equations and Formulas
- “Add the equation for kinetic energy”
- “Include the quadratic formula in a box”
- “Show the equation E = mc^2 with each variable defined”
Step-by-Step Solutions
- “Show how to solve 2x + 5 = 13 with each step explained”
- “Add a worked solution showing integration by parts”
- “Include annotations explaining each step”
Graphs and Diagrams
- “Add a coordinate grid for plotting points”
- “Include a blank graph for students to sketch the function”
- “Add the completed graph as part of the solution”
Chemistry Content
For chemistry documents, you can include molecular structures:- “Add the structure of ethanol with labels”
- “Show the benzene ring structure”
- “Include diagrams of both glucose and fructose”
