The First 15 Questions: Free NotebookLM Starter Sheet for Year 12 (VCE, HSC, QCE)
Fifteen questions. One evening. A private, cited study coach that knows exactly where marks die in your subject.This free two-page sheet is one chapter of The Exam Brain, lifted out and sharpened. Load your subject's official documents (study design, past papers, examiner reports, marking criteria) and your own notes into a free Google NotebookLM notebook, then ask the fifteen questions in order.Map the exam. What the study design makes examinable, which topics appear every year, and the ten most repeated examiner criticisms, cited by year. Six years of markers telling you where marks die, and almost nobody reads it.Map yourself. Your thin topics found before October finds them, your first mistake ledger, and the loose definitions that cost marks silently.Start the loop. Past-paper questions the cohort handles worst, feedback against the real marking criteria, and a flashcard deck built from your own errors.Integrity first. It is a study coach, not a ghostwriter: assessed work is yours, the brain critiques drafts and never produces them. The setup instruction forces citations so you can click every claim.Free to share, unmodified, with attribution. Send it to your study group.Written by Lindsay Talbot, author of the Top 50 VCE Maths Mistakes series. The complete Exam Brain (verified July 2026) covers the full method: the legal source walkthrough for VCE, HSC and QCE, the essay feedback loop, the examiner-whisperer maths system, subject recipes, the exam-season rhythm, and a chapter written for parents.
