Self-study
I realize this might be a common or frustrating issue, but I’m seeing a discrepancy in my recent LR results. Earlier today, I completed a 15-question drill and scored 10/15. During my Blind Review, I technically scored 11/15; however, I switched three previously correct answers to incorrect ones. Essentially, my logical understanding should have gotten a 14/15.
Because this was an untimed section, the 7Sage analytics are difficult to interpret; eight questions are flagged for review despite only five being truly incorrect on the second pass. Has anyone else encountered this frequently? I understand I should stick with my gut if I’m confident in an answer, even if it’s flagged for Blind Review, but the data still feels misleading.

I think when you get it wrong during the BR, you don't 100% understand the stimuls/answers, therefore it is worth looking into the question and reviewing it thoroughly. If you were 100% confident, why switch? You know what I mean?
Popping up as BR does not mean you always got it wrong. It could be that you spent too much time on it, you initially picked a wrong answer and changed to a correct one, or something like that. I didn't like it either. I also changed the setting for some time so that I can see only the incorrect ones. But I don't think it was helpful so I came back to the original setting. It feels annoying and time consuming when you see so many BR suggestions, but as you get better, you will see fewer, and I think it's worth spending time thorougly reviewing the questions. Believe me, I was rushing through in the beginning without much progress, but as I spent more time and took reviewing seriously, I see a major point increase in PT.
When you got it right, but then got it wrong during the BR, review it to see why you switched the answer and why the wrong answer looked more tempting despite your "initial gut". Always try to justify your answer and see what you missed. As you study and practice, you will get better, and your BR will get better too! Let's go!
You can change your settings so only the questions that you ACTUALLY got incorrect are flagged for review. I had a similar issue a few months ago because questions I spent too much time on were getting flagged for review (which in my opinion is not helpful), so I was able to modify my settings and feel much better!
