How to use this template

1. Add your material. Paste your lecture notes or the syllabus, or type the course name and what the exam covers.
2. Let the AI fill the branches. Click Use this template. getMindmap opens with this structure already in the prompt. Add your material and it builds the map.

When this template works best

• You have several weeks of lecture notes and need to see the whole course on one page.
• You want to find the topics you cannot yet explain and give them more time.
• You are revising for essay-based or concept-heavy exams where links between topics matter.
• You study better visually and want a map to redraw from memory as a self-test.

Use something else when

• You need spaced-repetition flashcards for large amounts of facts. A flashcard app is better for drilling.
• You are summarising a single book for a seminar. The book summary template is a closer match.
