Keyboard shortcuts and undo

TLDR- any way to undo or switch highlighter colors with shortcuts?

Hello, are there any important keyboard shortcuts I may be missing for the LSAT?

I have found on more than one occasion that I'll be highlighting and my mouse accidentally highlights the entire paragraph, undoing all my previous highlighting. An undo (command + z) option would be invaluable.

Similarly, I spend a decent amount of time alternating between the highlighter colors and wondering if there's a shortcut for that.

Alas I'm sure all of the tools are meant to simulate real test conditions and it's not worth it to build this if we're not going to have it during the test. But wanted to ask are there any tools or shortcuts I should be aware of for the LSAT that I may be missing?

Thanks!

Hi! Could someone please tell me if there's a way I can take three-section practice tests? I don't want the experimental section affecting my analytics under the "Sections" tab simply because I skipped it during my practice tests, as seen below.

I've been drilling questions for LR, and I just let the 7sage system decide what questions to pick for me. I was wondering if the way the drill chooses what questions to recommend for a future drill is by 1) adding more questions of the type I have answered wrong and 2) adding more questions of the type I have spent a long time on. I feel like I see a lot of the same questions types (weaken, parallel flaw, etc) and I just wanted to make sure that it's not because the system is just giving me more questions that I spend a lot of time on. I just worry if I am not getting enough practice with the other question types. I know I can just drill by type, but I would rather have a mix that the system chooses.

I have almost completed the Foundations Section and wonder when is a good time to start taking practice tests. I have heard from numerous people that regularly taking practice tests is what really helped them improve their score. Any advice on when to start taking them, how often, etc. is much appreciated!

Is there a way to still have the blind review setting on without having the recommendations for which questions to BR? I want to practice my confidence in reviewing questions but it's difficult when this setting basically tells me what I need to BR. Thank you!

LSAT Grade Dropping

I completed a PT on July 12 and got a 156, since then I have taken 3 more and got a 151, 152, and yesterday a 146. Has this happened to anyone else and has any idea why this could be happening to me? My diagnostic was a 148 and I find it very bizarre that I scored lower on yesterdays PT. Anyways, I am open to any advice that can help me!!

Would someone be able to provide me with some of the nuances and strategies needed when tackling link assumption questions. I seem to uniquely struggle with them on my tests and cannot find specific resources for how to approach them. I figure some sort of my mindset is incorrect but I have yet to be able to figure out what. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Studying Format

Hi,

I recently started studying and I'm signing up for the November Exam. For taking practice exams, would it be better for me to complete the whole curriculum first? Or do people usually take the practice exams/drills at the same time?

Not a super strong test taker, so I'm looking for the best way to manage my time!!

Tips on Slowing Down?

Hey y'all! I recently took a PT and got 166 on the first take and 176 on BR. I think this disparity is because I go way too fast through the questions and end up making dumb mistakes. I try to remind myself to go slow while taking the test, but it never seems to help. Any tips on how to slow yourself down and ensure you are fully thinking through the questions?

Suppose the stimulus to a parallel reasoning question was something along the lines of:

A⊃B

B⊃C

C⊃D

A,

Therefore D.

And one of the answer choices read:

W⊃X

X⊃Y

~Z⊃~Y,

W,

Therefore Z.

The sentence '~Z⊃~Y' is the contrapositive of Y⊃Z, and so just as the first argument is valid, so too is the second. But I was wondering if, in a parallel reasoning question, they will ever give an answer choice that utilizes the contrapositive.

Sorry for my poor ability to formulate a question.

After getting 177-180 consistently on my PT, I got a 172 on a 2024 LSAT. Now I'm back to studying for Sept 2025 and am scoring in the 177-180 range on all my PTs again. Wondering how I can best use this time to ensure that I don't have the same test day performance drop? Any advice appreciated

I am signed up for the August LSAT, and I know that it automatically signs me up for an LSAT writing portion as well. I wanted to focus on strictly the RC and LR LSAT portions in August, so I was considering taking the writing portion on a different testing cycle. Am I able to submit an LSAT writing independent of the LSAT? For example, could I submit the September LSAT writing and the August exam into my applications, or do I have to submit the writing and exam from the same month?

I am going through what I thought was a J curve except I haven’t recovered yet. I am scoring lower than I was when I started taking regular PTs about 2 months ago. My past few PTs have been in the highs 150s, but my Blind Review are between 168-176. Does anyone have any tips for how to close this gap? 

I am focusing on the types of questions that I get wrong but wondering if there was anything specific I could do to try to get to my BR score during timed PTs as well. Thank you!

How to Properly Drill?

I'm new to drilling. I was wondering if anyone has any advice on how to drill? How many questions should I start with, time or untimed, etc. Any advice is appreciated!

Not sure if this matters, but I got a 151, 151, and 160 on PTs. I won't be taking more PTs until I start drilling. Thanks!

Edit: I am nearly done with 7Sage's cirriculum

Edit: So I just finished drilling 5 questions, and I got 3 correct, but I got all five correct during blind review. Would the next step be to analyze each question/just the questions I had trouble with and then do extensive reasoning on my thought process for each question? I know spending time is necessary, but I'm just not sure what the most time-efficient way of doing this would be. any advice is appreciated!

I just took a PT and I am devastated. The experimental LR section was -3. Had it been swapped out, I would have scored a 163 rather than a 157. I know we can't choose on the real exam, but it is ARBITRARY here; these are not real experimental sections, and we are not given the option of a three section PT. From a mental perspective, seeing a range of possible scores would be really helpful. I know I have to go back and dig into all of the sections, which I will do. But I have to tell you that I feel like quitting right now. It sucks that my mood would be so much different if it had popped up as a 163, but that’s what’s up.

Also, what is going on with the typing field here? I had to write this in Word and paste it is. Every other keystroke is being erased, doubled, or backed up? Anyone else having this issue?

Hi, I took a preptest and was prompted to do the blind review right after. I clicked in order to take a brief break before doing the blind review, however now when I click on the "review" button there is no longer a blind review option available? Is this normal? How can I still do a blind review?

What does it mean when I get 100% (correct) on the actual question but then 0% (incorrect) on blind review? Or vise versa. Sometimes I get down to 2 answers and feel confident about an answer then redo the question in blind review and may end up selecting the other answer.
