it seems like B requires assumed knowledge of how insurance companies allocate risk to create the logically airtight chain. C makes the collective risk explicit, but has the flaw JY mentioned. How do you evaluate the differences between the two?

when should I take my last PT?

here in the home stretch to Oct and wondering at what point the advantage of seeing "new" material bumps up against the ability to review old material and the necessity to have a little bit of a breather the day before.

IDK the process/forum etiquette for feature requests, so apologies if this is not the right venue/classification.

Working on getting my time down for boards, would love a way to pick problems based on how overtime I was. I tend to mismanage time and get correct answers after spending too much time on them. This is something to fix more generally, but would still like to be able to practice to address this skill.

RN I have a workaround by looking at my question table analytics and manually selecting problems, but it would be nice to have it as a feature!

Will it be possible to create drills w/ games/problems in increments of 1? F/x right now I have three logic games w/ incorrect items in them from practice tests, but I can only create drills composed of 1, 2, or 4 games. It would be nice to set a 25ish minute timer and deal with 3 games in one drill.

Yes I did this on the 7sage app. I cant figure out how to do it on the computer but there's a "Grade" button on the menu of the app that I inputted my results from a hard copy test and it saved and did analytics much the same

Didn't even realize there was a mobile app, thanks so much!

Dip between PTs and Test Day first time around

Hey all -

Currently prepping for the Oct 22 LSAT. I took the April 22 LSAT, had some significant life events in may/june, and resumed study in July

I had taken 5 timed PTs and an untimed diagnostic, and had worked my way up from 152 to a 168, 170, and 168 in my last tests. In April I was back down at a 162. I didn't feel like I was panicking more than I did in the PTs where I did better. Is a 6 or 8 point relative drop normal from practice to test day? Are there any things I can work on before October to even up the performance?

PTs are showing marginal but real progress from there, but I'm wondering how much I should discount that. I will say that I'm feeling more confident (particularly on LGs), but that's hard to measure.

LR: high floor, low ceiling

Hi all -

I started my course of study focusing pretty much exclusively on LGs (my first PT was a 159, -4 RC, -13 LG, -avg 5.5 on LR, so the what needed improving seemed clear) and am now in a place where I'm pretty happy with them.

The problem is now LR. On average I'm still -3 or -4 per section, and I just can't seem to crack the most difficult questions. Get them wrong ~50% of the time on BR, get them wrong in the little bit of time I have to check my answers in section.

So - any tips or strategies for approaching difficult (4 or 5 pip) LRs? Thanks in advance!
