New feature: more options for blind review

Did you know you can customize what 7Sage recommends for blind review? We've added two new options to give you more control:

  • Random correct. We'll recommend a couple of random questions for blind review. This is a great way to keep blind review more blind. The setting is off by default.

  • Multiple answer changes. We'll recommend questions where you changed your answer two or more times, since you probably weren't certain of your final answer. The setting is on by default.

Change your blind review settings here.

    Note for students:

    I know a lot of people don't like getting recommended questions that they got correct. However, resist the urge to select only the "Incorrect" option (or only the "Incorrect" and "Skipped" options). If you leave only the "Incorrect" option flagged as recommended for BR, then you'll automatically know that every question marked for BR is something you got wrong. That means you'll know that you should switch your answer. Often you were only down to two answers anyway, so you'll know that you should switch your answer to the other answer you were considering...and you'll get the question correct on BR without actually understanding anything about why the answer you picked was wrong and the correct answer is correct. This is not just a completely useless form of BR, but it's actually harmful, because it gives you a false sense of improvement.

    TL;DR - Don't select only the "Incorrect" option or only the "Incorrect" and "Skipped" options. You WANT to have some questions you got correct recommended for BR so that you don't immediately know that you should switch your answer just because it's recommended for BR.
