NB MedLearn | Briefed for NotebookLM

1 Step One

Build the mental map before you touch the lecture.

Pick your subject, paste the prompt into NotebookLM, and read the brief first. The goal is simple: stop walking into the lesson blind. You should already know what matters before the slides start wasting your time.

Select a subject

2 Step Two

Then build the study doc you’ll actually revise from.

After the lesson, run this prompt in NotebookLM. It asks what matters, lets you inject MCQ-based high-yield notes, cuts the fluff, and rebuilds the lecture into one clear exam-focused document.

Optional, turn MCQs into usable notes first

If you have MCQs, correction notes, or Qbank questions, don’t dump them raw into NotebookLM. First run them through ChatGPT or Claude with this prompt. You’ll get clean concept notes back, and that output becomes your ready-to-paste input for Phase 2.

These are MCQs from a medical school lesson. For each one, extract the underlying concept being tested as a concise point. Follow these rules: Do not restate the question , write only what a student must know to answer it correctly Merge concepts if two or more questions test the same thing Flag concepts that appear more than once as high-yield by placing them under a section titled "Concepts Hautement Prioritaires", and place the remaining concepts under a section titled "Concepts Importants" Each concept must be written as a standalone named subsection with a short title If the concept involves a classic exam trap or an important distinction, include it at the end of the subsection as a short paragraph starting with "Piège : " , do not separate it from its subsection Do not reference question numbers or sources anywhere in the output Do not use emojis or any special symbols

Phase 1

What to keep

You tell it what matters. Weak areas, mechanisms, drug names, clinical details, whatever needs to show up gets pushed to the front.

Phase 2, optional

MCQ notes

Add concepts extracted from MCQs, Qbanks, correction sessions, or past papers. Say "none" if you don’t have any.

Phase 3, optional

What to cut

Trim what’s outside your exam scope or what you already know cold. If there’s nothing to cut, just say "nothing."

Phase 4

The final doc

One clean reconstruction of the lesson. Full signal, better structure, zero need to go back to the original mess.
