Advice for reviewing wrong answers

samlandau160

Hi everyone!
I'd like to know how you all review wrong answers to avoid making them again. I'll take a PT Section/Drill, see what I got wrong, then go to the explanation videos. But my scores are staying pretty stagnant and I want to get down -6 or less.
Any advice would be welcomed on how to better my review process.
Thanks!

Instead of understanding why it was wrong/correct try reviewing it in a way that will have you reevaluate how you approached the question and went down the wrong path. You'll find that a lot of this is habitual. A simple "how did I get here?" will help a long way. Putting a pin on where you are going wrong will help you narrow down where the adjustments are needed. The Loophole (my favorite book) suggests having a wrong answer journal that does just that! Write the question, stimulus type, how you got to the wrong answer, and how you might fix that approach. Hope this is helpful!
I help run a free study group on discord where I help adjust people's approach to questions. If your interested in that you can shoot me a message!
