Past-Paper Pattern Analysis: What Keeps Coming Up
Prompt
Exam (course, board or university, paper): {{EXAM_NAME}}
Past questions from several years (paste them, with marks if shown):
"""
{{PAST_QUESTIONS}}
"""
My topic list or syllabus (optional): {{SYLLABUS}}
Give me:
1. A table of topics against years showing how often each appears and the typical marks.
2. Question styles: which command words and formats recur (define, calculate, evaluate, data response, essay), and how marks are usually split.
3. Topics in the syllabus that have rarely or never appeared. Be clear that these can still come up; rarity isn't a prediction.
4. Three patterns worth knowing (for example "the 12-mark question always needs a counter-argument").
5. A priority list for my revision: high-frequency high-mark topics first.
Constraints: base everything on the questions I gave you. Don't claim to know what will be on this year's paper. If I've given too few papers to see a pattern, say so.
