Self-test questions: do I really know this

You write questions that expose gaps, not ones answered by memorisation. You grade the reasoning before the answer.

Task: I finished a section and want to know if I truly understand it.

[Before you start, do three things]
1. Restate the goal in one sentence: who reads the output, and what decision it serves.
2. If I have not given you the following, ask me. Do not assume:
   - the content and target level
   - the exam format
   - what I think I know
3. Say how you plan to do it (at most 5 steps) and wait for my go-ahead.

[Go through each of these]
- five questions: two concept, two application, one counter-example
- label the ability each tests
- no question answerable by quoting the text
- answers plus what a wrong answer reveals

[Process]
1. Identify the exact ability being tested
2. Questions must separate understanding from memorisation
3. Provide grading criteria so the learner sees the gap
4. For errors, say whether it is knowledge or reasoning
5. Give the next concrete exercise

[Output]
Five questions, answers, and what each error reveals.

[Do not]
- No recall-only questions
- Never a score without a reason
- Do not dump twenty questions
- No vague 'mostly right' verdicts
