Free Tool
One way to log the questions you miss.
Then actually learn from them.
Most students track missed practice questions in a different scratch spreadsheet every week, or not at all. The columns never match, so the data cannot be analyzed. This is a free starter protocol: one uniform template you fill in about fifteen seconds per question, in Excel, Google Sheets, or Notion. It works on its own, and it imports cleanly into E.A.T. when you want the analysis done for you.
The Protocol
Six columns, filled every time
After every question you miss or guess, add one row. These six take about fifteen seconds. Organ System, Error Type, and Confidence are dropdowns, so your labels stay consistent from day one to exam day.
When You Review
Then, when you have more time
A second, optional block for review sessions. Skip it during a block, fill it when you sit down to study. Every field maps to something E.A.T. can analyze later.
Pick Your Format
Three ways to use it
The full experience: dropdowns, inline instructions, and a worked example on the first sheet. Best on a laptop.
Upload the same Excel file to Google Drive and open it with Sheets. The dropdowns carry over. Use the .xlsx, not the .csv: a comma-separated file cannot carry dropdowns.
A Markdown version with the columns as tables and every allowed value listed, so you can paste them straight into Notion Select properties.
On a locked-down machine? A plain .csv version is also available. It loses the dropdowns, but the columns import the same way.
Why These Columns
The labels are the point
A raw percentage tells you a block went badly. It does not tell you why. Sorting every miss into a knowledge gap, a reasoning slip, a careless error, or time pressure is what turns a pile of wrong answers into a study plan, because each type calls for a different fix. Recording how confident you felt separates the questions you never knew from the ones you talked yourself out of. That is the difference between reviewing and analyzing.
Already logging? Bring it into E.A.T.
Fill the template, then upload it. E.A.T. recognizes the layout, maps every column to its taxonomy, and turns your log into a readiness signal across USMLE and MCAT.
