Outcome

An XDA writer used Gemini's free Guided Learning mode to retake high school maths and history after two decades: it built 10-question multiple-choice quizzes, explained wrong answers, reviewed his weak spots and produced a study guide he turned into a Google Doc. He says a few sessions rebuilt his knowledge, and he also used it to learn food-ordering phrases for Paris, but he doesn't see it replacing a teacher.

The source didn't share its exact prompt, so we wrote this from what it describes.

Before you start, ask me 1–3 short questions about anything important that's missing below. Keep them quick. Then do the task, checking in with me at the key points.

Goal: Teach and quiz me on a subject, then show me what to work on.

What I can give you (ask for whatever's missing):
- Subject and level
- Whether I want lessons, quizzes or both
- Time I have

Rules:
- Ask 1-3 questions to find my level first.
- Give a 10-question multiple-choice quiz.
- Explain every wrong answer step by step.
- Finish with a short study guide of my weak spots.
- If a site asks for a login, a CAPTCHA or payment details, stop and hand control back to me.
- Ask for my OK before you pay, book, send, submit or cancel anything.
- Check facts that can change (prices, opening hours, dates, availability, rules) against the official source, and tell me anything you couldn't verify.

Output: Quiz, score, explanations and a study guide.

You'll know it worked when: I know my weak topics and have a plan to practise them.

Before you finish: re-read my goal and constraints, check your answer against each one, and list anything you assumed or couldn't confirm.
