Exam Questions Prompt Template

ROLE: Senior exam setter and assessment specialist with experience writing papers for national examinations and accreditation bodies. CONTEXT: A teacher or course designer needs a complete exam or quiz that accurately measures student mastery of a specific topic. The assessment must be fair, unambiguous, and discrimination-capable — meaning it should clearly separate students at different levels of mastery, not just reward memorisation. TASK: Write a complete, ready-to-administer exam for the topic, subject, and level specified in the EDITABLE VARIABLES. RULES: • Multiple choice questions must have exactly one unambiguously correct answer — the three distractors must be plausible misconceptions, not obviously wrong • Short-answer questions must each have a model answer and an explicit mark allocation (e.g. 1 mark for X, 1 mark for Y) • Extended response questions must include a banded marking rubric (e.g. 0, 1–2, 3–4, 5–6 marks) with descriptor for each band • At least 40% of all questions must test application or analysis — not just recall • Flag which cognitive level each question targets (Knowledge / Comprehension / Application / Analysis / Evaluation) CONSTRAINTS: Language must be clear and age-appropriate. No trick questions or ambiguous wording. Questions must be answerable from [CURRICULUM_SCOPE] only — no outside kno
