Tips for Getting the Best Results

1. Always specify your exam board — CBSE, ICSE, state board, and university exams have different formats and marking schemes
2. Mention your current level — "I am a beginner" vs "I understand the basics but struggle with applications" gets very different responses
3. Use follow-up prompts — After the first response, ask "Explain point 3 in more detail" or "Give me a harder example"
4. Verify critical information — AI can make errors in calculations and factual claims. Always cross-check with NCERT or trusted sources
5. Save your best prompts — Keep a note of prompts that work well so you can reuse them
