I am not sure where else to give this feedback, but I feel like it needs to be said.
I have caught myself four weeks into the practice section of my study plan overdoing the drills. It was not until I checked the AI tutor that I realized that I needed to slow down because my studying was unproductive and I was using up fresh questions at a rapid pace. But, it seems very intuitive as per the study plan to simply generate a block, do said block, and move on. And, since I am studying full-time this summer, I was generating the 6 hour study blocks, leaving no time for anything else. Even with the blind review, and my wrong answer journal, I was doing too many drills without changing my approach to problem questions, etc. Part of this is my fault, and after putting some of my statistics and worries into chat GPT, I was able to figure out a study plan that uses less drills and focuses on my problem sections. I just wish that a study plan like that was more intuitive on this platform. This has been something that I have struggled with all the way since doing fundamentals, as well, because I was struggling to find the time to integrate live/recorded lessons, and other features of 7Sage into my intense study plan.
Anyway, this is both for the makers of 7Sage, and for people who may also be stuck drilling nonstop in the Study Plan portion. It's ok to not generate so many hours of just drills, and devote your time to review of old questions, finding patterns in your Wrong Answer Journal, and focusing on problem areas. :)

I’m so glad I found this post! I’ve been driving myself crazy the past couple weeks tearing through drills and feeling fatigued without seeing much progress. Spent some time with the AI coach and it looks like I absolutely need to take a step back, focus more on patterns in wrong answers, and take a more targeted approach instead of just generating massive practice blocks for myself.
Definitely wish there was a way to update study plan based on AI coach’s recommendations.
THIS!!!!! I was having a serious identity crisis there for a minute! "Ok, so I have no problem understanding Gravity's Rainbow, but I CANNOT get better at this test... am I doomed?!" Slowed down with the AI coach and have seen a 10 point jump in a week.
THANK YOU for your post!
Yes, agreed! please allow for more customization in the practice section as well, or even some kind of integration with the AI coach. I followed the generated blocks for a few weeks and have also found myself running out of questions.
