Basically title. I don't want to go into the LSAT overconfident on my scoring. I recently hit minus 8 BR on preptest 71, but that seems a little high for missing 8 questions raw. Checked recent scalings for later preptest and it seems the margin of error is much lower for missed questions to get a 170+.

They use the same scaling that the test did when it was administered as an actual LSAT. The curve is based on how hard the sections are and it is curved by the test makers and not 7sage, 7sage just uses the curve already made. The standard curve is -7 for a 170, but PT 71 is more difficult than usual so requires less questions correct to get the same score. This might be what you're experiencing. Give some credit to yourself, you're seeing improvement!
