User reviews

The good: the explanations are 1 billion times better than AAMC's. The bad: When completing AAMC questions, the JW extension tends to bug out and shows the questions I answered as being completed, but when I click "done practicing", it grades questions I didn't even look at. For example, if I did questions 35-40, when I submit, it grades 34-39 and all of the answers are off by one so my accuracy goes down. If you think it might mess with your mental seeing a lower than normal percentage, this might not be as helpful for you. Also, when highlighting, I will be able to highlight but once I go to the next question in the passage, it erases the highlighting and I can't get it back. A waste of time. Also, if I wanted to flag questions using whatever strategies, I wouldn't be able to see the questions I flagged when reviewing.

Lots of issues with the highlighting feature and flagging on AAMC practice. Even marked a couple of the problems I got right as incorrect and marked a few questions as having been answered even though I didn't do them. The JW logo is everywhere too on the AAMC site. Also, one of the benefits of just using the AAMC UI is that you can mark how confident you are on a question and retrospectively compare your self-perception of mastery with actual content mastery. Overall, the JW extension UI is a bit messy and could really use some upgrades. If it wasn't, they should have tested this extension as a beta before they released to the public as a representation of Jack Westin. I was really excited to try this out, and I will keep experimenting, but ultimately I have been disappointed.
