Self-study
I'm interested in hearing from people on how they go about doing their wrong answers journals. Do you find it helpful? Do you go back and read it? What's your process? I'm looking to start doing this after prep tests, but I want to know how to do it effectively. Thanks!

It took me a while to figure it out but I've found what helps me the most is keeping a physical journal and simplifying the WAJ form. Previously I was writing out every reason my answer was wrong, which was good for my learning but I didn't find that helpful in identifying patterns in my wrong answers. Now for each entry I have three sections: question type, error, and next time. I try to keep error and next time to 3 or less bullet points each. Then I have a running list in my notes app called "WAJ takeaways" sorted by question type and I just focus on the strategies I've written down for say my 5 top priorities each week. Hope that is helpful!
I have similar questions. I understand the concept of it but I don't know how to use it going forward - revisit the mistakes? try to memorize patterns? 🥲
