i really like it! its helping me see where i need to improve my confidence and where i need to improve skill. goal for test day is to do well and be confident i did well, and this is helping those two goals align.
It crushes me or feeds my ego further. I am thoroughly enjoying it and I find it a rather succulent feature. I dare say it's a fine meal.
I like it! I seem to find that I am very accurate at predicting lol its fun for me!
I don't like it - It can make me not want to blind review, or second guess myself/lead me right to the answer right before I blind review so I'm not learning as much from my mistakes. If I get it wrong and I was torn between two, it's hard to pretend or to forget the other choice before BR which leads me to less learning. The gains come from the figuring out, and this seems like a shortcut. Perhaps it's because I'm so early in my journey that I'm less concerned about accuracy and more about learning from mistakes. I might like this feature more later on when I'm more skilled and focused on drilling.
I would suggest being able to toggle this on and off on the drilling page, and saving right/wrong for after BR.
I really like it! It helps me give a numerical measurement on how I think I did.
I like the idea of it, but I feel it would be more useful to my studying if there was some substantive analysis of our predictions vs. our real scores on the analytics page. Perhaps an explanation of the data. For example: I understand that I tend to under- or overestimate my scores, but to what degree? I would like to see my average prediction compared with my average score. Also, because it is often hard to remember why I predicted a given score on a test or drill from multiple weeks ago, on each prediction we should be allowed to write a short note as to why we predicted what we did. I envision this "prediction note" being kept with the data on each test or drill that is typically kept. This will give us an opportunity to journal how we felt more generally about the test or drill after taking it and give us something to reference coming back to the drill for review at a later date.
I love it! It's boosting my confidence, and I'm just now realizing that I'm doing better than I give myself credit for. It also holds me accountable, because I feel I must predict accurately lol.
I like it, but I would prefer it only be used on actual sections, PTs, or longer drills. On the short drills I would rather just move onto blind review.
I like it! I find that I am often under-confident in my answers, and recognizing this will allow me to get faster under timed conditions
As someone who typically skews to answering this as less than I think to maybe mitigate my expectations and to feel better if I answer more correctly. It’s probably a good soft feature to gauge over or under confidence but not a hard fast rule
How do you expect us to make use of / find value in the feature?
Honestly i don't like it. I'd rather just go to BR and then score.
I like it, it surprises me that I usually predict exactly my score!
its' great! boosting confidence to trust my guts more
It got me in the habit of keeping a tally of questions I wasn't positive about as I went, which was good, but after a while I got annoyed with the number of things I had to click through at the end of a test, and since I already had my tally anyway, I disabled it.
I use it to test my confidence in my ACs and it has definitely shown that I have under-confidence issue, just wish there was a better way to see that across your drills, sections, and PTs without having to go through them individually to compare. Love it so far though!
I haven't noticed it make a difference in my study in terms of how I make decisions. So far I've used it as a feature where I think "Neat", and I like to have it for record-keeping to gauge my confidence, but has no implications for further decision-making and seems somewhat redundant with blind review/flags. I flag every question I'm not sure about already, so it ended up just being "count the flags" (although when it showed up, I wasn't able to look at the flags, so I just estimated).
Perhaps I will find a way to integrate it and make better decisions later.
I think it's nice, it helps me better predict my performance, which I imagine would help alleviate some of that post test worry.
I have been absolutely loving this feature. Thank you so much for this.
Personally, I have actually found this more useful than blind review with the way I study.
I love it! Similar to blind review, I think it's helping build intuition, and it's nice when I either get less than my prediction or predict the same number I got wrong.
