Self-paced
I'm kind of confused. I took a PT tonight and wasn't able to answer 5 questions- ran out of time. I am working on BR right now but my score timed isn't adding the 5 questions that I didn't do, so my score is "higher" because of that. Like it didn't count the ones I didn't do wrong, so they are basically counted right. Does anyone know why that is the case?

Why would it translate into your analytics if it wasn't part of you doing the exercise, whether it be a drill, section, or pt? Your recorded analytics are based upon completion with however you formatted the exercise, in this case a timed pt.
The correct answers achieved on blind review are valuable experience but it wouldn't be good for blind review to reflect as your "true" pt score because ideally those pt scores are about as reflective as the real lsat as possible. In the real lsat we don't get second chances at questions we didn't answer or a chance to reflect and change answers. That's what the pt score represents in theory.
That being said, you can delete the result or exclude it from analytics if you prefer so that it doesn't act as a mental drag. I did two sections on Saturday that I underperformed relative to how I both generally do and what I know I'm capable of. I could do either of the things I said but it doesn't change that I'm also clearly capable of letting the test think for me rather me being perfect at actively thinking. I did another few sections yesterday on Sunday and instead I hit -2 and -1 on them.
Both these and the others are reflective of what I'm able of doing and 7sage analytics are there to help us see that and use it as direction.
@Adam Thanks for your input. I think it's because I am on BR.
I got AI answer"On both the real LSAT and the 7Sage platform, any question left blank is counted as incorrect. You do not get points for skipped questions. If your timed scaled score seems higher than it should be and isn't penalizing you for those 5 blank questions, it is likely due to one of these reasons:
They were in the Experimental Section Every modern 4-section PrepTest includes one unscored experimental section. If the section where you ran out of time was your experimental section, those 5 blank questions are completely excluded from your scaled score calculation. This is the most common reason a score seems unaffected by skipped questions.
You are looking at Attempted Accuracy Certain analytics and review screens break down your accuracy based only on the questions you actually attempted. If you were highly accurate on the questions you did manage to answer, your percentage might look artificially high on those screens, even though the final scaled score out of 180 will still count the blanks as zeroes.
Blind Review is still in progress Because you are currently in the middle of Blind Review, the platform is waiting for your final inputs. Once you finish BR and submit the test to reveal the answers, your final timed and BR scores will be permanently locked in, and any blanks in the scored sections will firmly count as incorrect.
What to do next: Since you ran out of time on those 5 questions, definitely use your untimed Blind Review right now to answer them! Because you haven't seen them yet, this is the perfect opportunity to tackle them without the clock and see if your untimed comprehension can conquer them."
@wan8218h300 that makes sense because I am in the process of blind review! thanks!
