Thank you for posing this question! I've thought about this a lot without really realizing it, so appreciate the opportunity to dump my thoughts out to a willing recipient! See a list of stats I would find relevant below :)
Timing -- it would be beneficial to have a breakdown of how much time I tend to spend on different question types, potentially with a normalizer for difficulty level. This could come in the form of an average and a standard deviation (i.e. on average, you spend 1 min 20 seconds on LR Sufficient Assumption questions, but you spend 45 seconds, or 2 standard deviations, longer on the most difficult questions of this type). A metric of this sort would would give me a better sense of how to pace myself on PTs.
Accuracy by Question Type -- I love my LR and RC Drills, and I would say I spend > 75% of my time on 7Sage engaging with this aspect of my membership. On the whole, I have likely answered 10x the number of questions in Drill mode than in PTs. This makes it all the more frustrating when I have no easily accessible stats for Drill questions, as I know that the supposed "trends" 7Sage provides are based on an entirely unrepresentative sample (my PTs). I would love if we could access a red-circle chart, similar to the one created based on PTs in "Analytics," for Drills (or, even better, Drills AND PTs together). One day, I would hope that the virtual tutor could tell you to focus on a specific question type based on your performance without prompting (as an aside: please make the role of the virtual tutor clearer on the Drills page, as it is currently a bit ambiguous).
Section-Level Time Spent -- Somewhat along the same lines as (1), I would love a statistic telling you how much time you've spent answering drill questions for RC vs LR (more granular would be interesting, but I don't personally see access to more granular info impacting my studying much). I am sometimes conflicted about where to focus my studying on any given day, and I think a summary of my time spent (a) ever, (b) this month, and (c) this week could be a great way to show where I should be concentrating my efforts. This stat can also act as a motivator / indicator of progress for those of us who are more Drill inclined. It would be great if every time I logged in to practice, I was greeted with "XX hours spent on Drills!" or something of that ilk.
