Self-study
Since the new interface and highlighting changes, my score on drills and sections has notably decreased. Eliminating or selecting an answer now requires an extra step to the mode toggle, which interrupts my reasoning rather than allowing immediate action, and highlighting now requires repeated clicks per selection instead of one continuous pass through the passage. The result is that the same reasoning work now takes measurably longer, which is counterintuitive given that this strictly timed exam is meant to measure reasoning ability.
At first, I was angry, but I find myself more confused and disappointed. Why would they try to fix something that's not broken, while throwing in obstacles along the way? It's simply unfair to 26-27 test-takers, and it's disappointing to see, especially from an organization designed to help us.
Am I the only one going through this? Does anyone else have any thoughts?

I had the same feeling with you. I've been so mad at the new UI since Junea and I was trying so hard to let myself be comfortable with it. However, aftering seeing the new hightlight UI, I am totally f-ed up. I left my feedback on LSAC website, I was even trying to message to the Cheif of Operation of LSAC (the genuine who approved this update) on Linkedin but I didn't, cuz I told myself being a lawyer needs to manage anger. But still, I wanna scream on the new UI. It has made my life harder.
I 100% agree with you and im a bit surprised I haven't seen more people posting being upset about the change. It makes no sense to me why LSAC would think it's a good idea to make simple tasks require more steps when everything was perfect the way it was before, and every second counts on this test. Maybe they did this on purpose to curveball students given how increasingly competitive law school is getting every year, but who really knows lol. Maybe if enough of us complain they will change it back!
