In my experience the ones that are circled are mostly going to be either flagged by you during the session, or incorrect. But it can also circle it if:

• You took a long time to answer it (sucking your time away from other questions)

• You changed your answer multiple times (making you indecisive)

• You didn't answer it at all (although you should always bubble something, even if you literally haven't read the question, because it at least gives you a 1/5 chance of being right)

• You answered so quickly that it seemed like a guess (see above)

You can also set it to circle a random number of correct answers, stuff that didn't actually show any contraindications, but I think you have to opt into it in your preferences.

While you can hover over the info thing to see why it was flagged, I don't think you're supposed to actually do that (and I think it would be nice if 7sage let you disable the hover thing while still keeping BR circles, because it's too tempting and causes me to cheat on all of my BRs, but I still want the benefit of being able to blind review only some amount of questions instead of literally the whole section/PT).

The point is, since you don't know whether you got it right yet (ie, you don't know the specific reason why it was circled), you can give the question another look without any time pressure, and see if your answer changes.

• If you got it right on first pass, then changed your answer on BR and got it wrong, then you were underconfident in your initially correct answer, so you might want to take another look at the question. (So, in that sense, it's "baiting" you a little bit).

• If you got it wrong on first pass, then kept that wrong answer on BR, then you were overconfident in that wrong answer/were unable to see why the answer was wrong even given unlimited time, and you might want to take another look at it.

• If you got it wrong on first pass, then changed your answer on BR and got it right, then that might indicate that you can get the question right with less time pressure (i.e. you were able to see the error you made).

• If you got it right on first pass, then kept that correct answer on BR, then you were the right amount of confident in your answer, even on a second untimed look.

Obviously in the actual exam you won't have a chance to do BR, but I think the main point is to see what your score 'would' be if you had no time pressure, and to test your confidence in what you've answered. (Although if you do BR 'wrong' by looking at the info thing then it's really more seeing what your score 'would' be if you got to do the LSAT once and then they told you which you got wrong and then you got a second pass at it).

Technically this concept isn't unique to 7sage; The Loophole does the same thing with Camouflage Review. But since Loophole is (currently) just a physical book it doesn't have access to those extra time/web-based analytics that 7sage's tester does, so in that sense 7sage is giving you a more useful blind review in choosing what you should 'revisit'.
