Bad answers are usually missing context, not model limits. Role + context + task + format fixes most failures.
Steps
1Assign a role
'Act as a Class 12 physics teacher' outperforms bare questions every time.
2Add your context
Level, goal, constraints: 'BCA student, exam Friday, weak in joins'.
3Demand a format
Tables, steps, word limits. Format instructions are the highest-ROI prompt words.
4Iterate, don't restart
'Simpler', 'with 2 Nepal examples', 'now quiz me' - conversation beats new chats.
Good to know: Save prompts that work. A personal library beats re-deriving brilliance daily.
FAQ
Why still wrong answers?
