If I don't add any customizations when making a drill (just setting the question number, time, and show answers), are the questions selected still based on my analytics? Like, is 7Sage choosing some amount of NA questions, Weaken questions, etc., based on my data, or is it choosing random questions from the drill pool? I am asking because I want to drill with my worst question types, and I see the customize button that lets me do exactly that, but I am wondering if 7Sage does this automatically.

Thanks for the response.
If I'm understanding you correctly, it sounds like your approach is pretty accuracy-focused with an emphasis on gamification, which I think is probably the endgame for high scoring.
After all, the 2-3 questions I get wrong per section tend to be ones where time wasn't really what "caused" the wrong answer.
Hey folks, I typically PT in the high 160s or low 170s when timed, and I don't intend to ever try a practice test untimed because I feel like there just aren't enough tests for that.
However, I was wondering if it would be effective to start doing more untimed work, I've been doing it and have been finding it helpful to recognize patterns (like thinking to myself: okay this is a strength, it makes a causal claim, we're likely looking for an answer choice about some assumption the causal claim makes). I've actually found that thought process pretty helpful for both timing and accuracy.
Specifically, I was wondering if this is generally recommended, specifically for when you are trying to break into the top scores.
My current routine is:
1) Read an Economist article about a topic I don't particularly care for to warm up
2) Do an automatic untimed 4-passage drill or an untimed 25-question drill
3) Blind/Review + Wrong Answer Journal Analysis
Does anyone have any thoughts on whether this is a decent routine?
If it helps, I often will go to like 37-38 minutes on these two drills when untimed, meaning I don't really use much of the extra unlimited time, though getting to 35 minutes without rushing on reading in particular has been really tough for me.
press agent could've told every reporter the same amount of information even if it was not everything
@MaxThompson Why doesn't the stop sign example count as an instance of the application of the theory that someone's testimony could be affected by things outside of the court room?
King when are you guys dropping weighing sections and drills into analytics
Wrongly chose C cause I figured Passage A supports environmentalism since B says that people who argue like Passage A are actually fake environmentalists, but passage A doesn't really take a stance on whether they have genuine enviornmental intentions which makes it wrong.
B is a better answer because although it doesnt include aquatic furbearer populations it still does say furbearer populations aren't affected
Takeaway: Supersets, don't choose answer choices that an author doesnt take a stance on on these attitude comparison Q's
Wrongly chose A even tho I know its not really supported that injunctions are actually justified in these scenarios cause B seemed too strong - but B is okay because "apparently" means that based on the passage it does not appear that there is a better solution - not that it is true that there is NO solution
Takeaway: If you know an answer isn't supported - don't choose it - choose the more complex answer that you think may have SOME support
I often click on the "high priority" question types for logical reasoning, and I'll do a drill of maybe 10 "Must be true" questions, but the system doesn't include any of my drilled questions into the data for how I am performing on those questions. This leaves me a little confused about what the "personalized drilling" is doing if it is not connected to analytics. I'm using new 7sage if that helps.
Is it recommended to go straight to focusing on the RC curriculum? Or should I do logic drills while working on the RC curriculum so I don't forget any of it?
I translated this as:
computer modelling -> increase rush hour traffic -> resolve financial predicament
But, I still got the right answer. Did I do something incorrectly? This doesn't look like the contrapositive of what he did in the video but I cannot see why it is wrong.
Also want this feature because I accidentally hit View Results instead of Blind Review sometimes and then I have to make my own Blind Review lol
