## Messages to send Mindie
- A daily study slot: "Every day at 6pm until 10 December remind me to revise for 1 hour"
- Countdown to the exam: "Remind me on 26 November at 9am that the physics exam is in two weeks"
- The night before: "Remind me on 9 December at 8pm to pack admit card, pens and calculator for tomorrow's exam"

An exam preparation reminder on WhatsApp is a daily nudge to study at a set time, plus countdown messages as the exam gets closer. With Mindie, send "every day at 6pm until 10 December remind me to revise for 1 hour" and it arrives every evening until the exam, then stops.

Most revision problems are timing problems. The syllabus looks manageable a month out, and suddenly it's three days away with half the topics untouched.

## What to set

- **A daily study slot** at the same time each day, ending on the exam date.
- **Countdown reminders** two weeks and one week out, to check where you are.
- **The night before,** to pack the admit card, ID, pens and anything else you need.

## Why revision gets left late

- **The exam feels far away** until it suddenly isn't.
- **No fixed time.** "I'll study tonight" competes with everything else that happens tonight.
- **Big topics feel too big.** Without a list, it's hard to see progress.

## Habits that help

- **Keep a topics list.** Ask Mindie to keep a revision list, and tick topics off as you finish them.
- **Same time, every day.** A consistent slot is easier to keep than a long session now and then.
- **Pack the night before.** A forgotten admit card can end the day before it starts.

## How Mindie handles it

Send the daily reminder with an end date, and the one-off countdown reminders with their dates. Mindie confirms each one and messages you on schedule. Ask "what topics are left on my revision list?" whenever you plan a session.

## What Mindie doesn't do

- **It doesn't teach or quiz you.** It keeps the schedule and the list.
- **It doesn't message parents or teachers.**

## FAQ

### Can the daily study reminder stop after the exam?
Yes. Add "until 10 December" and Mindie stops the daily reminders after that date.

### Can I keep a list of topics to revise?
Yes. Ask Mindie to keep a list of topics, tick them off as you finish, and ask for what's left.

### Can a parent set reminders for their child?
Mindie only messages the person whose chat it is. A student can have their own account, or a parent can set reminders for themselves to check in.

### Can I set a different topic for each day?
Yes. Send each day's topic as its own reminder, or a voice note listing the plan, and Mindie sets them after checking with you.

### Can I set a countdown to the exam date?
There's no countdown screen, but you can set reminders at 30 days, 7 days and the night before.
