@jinadarcy0610262.on.me @x3euny604 Thanks, I'm glad you like it!
@joegotbored149 You can edit your post so that it just reads "Deleted".
Thank you! I love this website!
@alan-91620 You(and dev team peoples/however the site is run) are the man
About the 'difficulty' rating, how is it calculated? I see some questions 54% of people got right are 4 star questions while some 5 star questions have as much as 57% correct. So far what I've looked at fits certain % thresholds based on correct responses divided by answer responses where the 4/5 difficulty split is about 58% (ignoring skipped questions actually made the difficulty system consistent) but I haven't used that system on a lot of question and as I based it off one PT worth a questions the fact that it models that PT well might not actually mean that's how it's done.
Sorry I know this probably isn't the place for it (feel free to delete this post). Just curious. I'm doing some data gathering because I wanted to test if despite the LSAT having similar -x for varying levels of scaled scores if maybe people's claims that LR/RC was getting harder and LG was getting easier (other than oddball games) was true not just from a 'things are different' standpoint, but also from a percentile correct one. No worries if you can't provide that.
* Fix for iOS app - PDFs download properly again when viewing course through the app. Thanks to @7sagestudentservices for bringing this to our attention!
@jy-ping - They do, but they're part of the paid service. Only the games are available for free.
@jy-ping.y. just wanted to say thank you for helping me improve my logic game. I spent thousands on a company and would take 35 minutes to do one simple easy sequencing game. Now I do all 4 in 8 minutes or less (each one) because of everything you taught for free!!!
Do you guys have logic reasoning videos or notes online like you do for logic games?
@joegotbored149, I amended Alan's response above to better address your question.
@aaronnaiditch36836.naiditch36, LG videos for PTs 72-74 are already viewable on the mobile app. You have to click "Course" then navigate your way to the videos like you would on the web app. We will be updating the "Logic Games" section of the mobile app so you'll be able to see it there directly too.
@pkcs33326737 LAI, that's a tough one.
Can we speed it up on iPad/iPhone? That'll be great!
Thanks!
@flhelms775 Moose For sure :) We've actually been working putting in iPhone 6 and 6+ support for the past bit, and it will come out after we finish testing and submit it to Apple for review (this may take a few weeks).
* Fix for iOS app - The "Next" button in the "Course" view should work consistently now. Sorry it took this long!
