How does 7sage decide on individual section difficulty rating?

I was curious about what the curve on the September LSAT would be. I began searching through recent tests to see if a test with easy LG ever had a -11 curve. Both 78 (-11 curve) and 76 (-12 curve) had their LG difficulty listed as "easiest" (1/5). This struck my as strange, because to me these games are more difficult than 81 which has its LG section listed as "easier"( 2/5). Are the ratings just assigned by someone or are they the result of averaging user's scores?

    Difficulty is based on how many 7Sagers got the question right or wrong on their first try while using 7Sage's analytics.

    Interesting. Hopefully, that means even though September LGs were pretty simple, we could still see a -11 (or at least a -10) curve.

    @42and35 Where do you see section ratings? I can only find individual question/games/passage ratings? (I'm looking to do a similar analysis to your's regarding the likeliness of an insanely small curve for September haha).

    When you look in analytics and see the sections of the test on the graph, if you mouse over it, the section should give you a "easy" "medium" "hard" rating
