  I just wanted to ask a general question since im also taking june. I wanted to ask what is the proper way to blind review when we are learning a new LR problem and jump into the practice sets of 5 problems for that particular type. Do you do the 5 problems timed? Then do it untimed. Then check the answers? I noticed that I have a tendency not to blind review

  I also have a bad habit of checking answers right after I do each problem because I used to have a lot of confidence issues and I'd get like 12 out of 30 right (prior to this course). Even though now I'll get 22/25 on like 5 sets of 5 problems I'll still check answers after each problem. I guess I have to realize I can do this now and be accurate. And I shouldn't worry about checking each answer right away

  Last question. If I blind review and I get a problem wrong timed, but correct untimed does that mean I didn't really get it right (of course before checking the answers)? I mean according to testing conditions it's considered one that I would miss. Sorry these things are starting to bother me because it's one month in and im getting worried even though my accuracy has improved tremendously it takes me all day to do like 25 problems when according to 7 sage curriculum I should be doing 25 problems in no more than 36 minutes

  I’d stopwatch the problem set of 5. Ideally, you want to get those done in about 7:40 (or 1:20 per problem), but you don’t want to be too dogmatic about it. Then blind review. You could start testing your confidence now, or just blind review the entire set. But if you start getting confidence errors, be sure to start doing more blind review.

  Well, if you’re not blind reviewing, then you’re saying you’re at least 90% confident in your answer. If you’re not, then start circling and blind reviewing. I’d advise watching @"Nicole Hopkins” webinar on blind review here:http://7sage.com/discussion/#/discussion/6390/webinar-workshop-videos

  This takes time. You’re still in the curriculum phase. Do as many problems as you can to feel like you understand the problem type, then move on to another problem type and save some questions for when you’re in the PT phase in case you need to drill. Accuracy is a necessary condition of speed. You need to focus on accuracy now. Speed will come during the PT phase.

  @DumbHollywoodActor I appreciate it bud thank you. When I do problem sets now I will do them timed, then untimed and review and explain to myself why each answer was wrong, and why the correct one was correct before checking for the answer in the answer key. And if I choose the correct answer untimed than at least I know that I understand how to do the problem and my fundamentals are settling in and that timing was just the issue. I guess that is the beauty of blind review to be able to analyze my though process.
