Self-study
Hi everyone! I’ve been on the self-study live plan for about 8 weeks now, and I’m currently in week 8 of 11 of the foundations phase. I actually started studying back in January 2026 on my own, then joined 7Sage in February.
I feel like I’m improving, but I haven’t had a clear checkpoint yet to see how I compare to my initial diagnostic, which is making me a little unsure about where I stand. When do you all usually start taking practice exams? Is that something the schedule will guide me into, or should I be starting on my own around this point?
Just want to make sure I’m on track and not falling behind, would really appreciate any advice!

I took a PT near the end of the core curriculum because, like you, I was craving another benchmark to view my progress. I would say you're probably at the point where you can comfortably take another, but I'd wait until after you're done with the core to take more so you can get the absolute most out of them.
@IDunno Thank you, i will definitely do that !
I started taking PTs after the core curriculum. That way you're already familiar with the question types and most of the things you need to know.
@AdamLaw Thank you, thats really helpful !
