Self-study
I wanted to reach out to the 7sage team and suggest an addition to the Blind Review/Review process. I think it would be very useful to add a Wrong Answer Journal WAJ tab to the review program. I use the notes section and its helpful to articulate the reasons for answer choices as I am working through the problem. The issue I see is that, when I go back to review all the 'Notes' that I've made in the past in the 'Notes' tab, the interface only shows me the blank answer without any highlighting I added or the answers that I selected when I attempted the question initially. It would be great to create a WAJ within the system for ease of use and access. I've struggled to find a suitable template that works well for me; the note system in 7Sage is great bc it is immediately there and the information can easily be accessed and represented clearly in the 7Sage format.
Thoughts?

For now I have been using a Word processor as my WAJ. It would be really nice to have that WAJ built in and utilize our analytics. For now I just add labels and use search function.
It would take some extra work, but in Microsoft Word you could use Navigation Pane with Headers to label sections. You would have to manually organize them, and it doesn't let you sort. With that you could collect them by question type.
I am looking forward to a built in WAJ for categorization to pinpoint weaknesses. I am not good at organizing and sorting my own notes.
Here is my process now:
1) Flag Question in 7Sage
2) Screenshot passage into WAJ & label.
3) Log my thought process to catalog what I was thinking and did while answering the question.
Do this immediately while memory is fresh, and be honest.
4) Watch explanation to understand correct interpretation.
5) Begin self assessment to identify where the thinking went wrong.
6) Craft plan on how to avoid traps, and anticipate correct choices.
7) Usually I do not review during downtime, mostly get benefit from the exercise itself, not reviewing after completed.
I hope that when the WAJ is integrated they provide some content explaining how to engage fully with it because I feel like there is further I could go with the exercise.
@NoNamed92 Thank you!
We’ve been working on something!
@J.Y.Ping Very excited to see something added to the 7sage program!
@SMRegalado That's good to hear that you guys are working on something. I have my own methods but having a WAJ tab so that we make sure we can meet all the requirements of a comprehensive analysis of each question would make things way easier. Sometimes I worry that I'm spending too much or too little time analyzing a question so a resource like that would do wonders!
@international25 100%
@SMRegalado This is a great suggestion! A built-in Wrong Answer Journal that ties together your notes, highlights, and original answer selections in one place would be a really valuable addition to the review process.
I've passed this along to our team for consideration. Thanks for taking the time to share such a thoughtful idea!
