Using the Analytics Dashboard

[iskander.monica@gmail.com]

Hi there!

I recently took my first timed PT using the analytics package and now I'm looking to blind review my test. Under "Test Results" I see an option to "edit answers" which opens up my test and let's me pause as I work my way through it again. My question is will this produce another score (i.e. my review score) or will it just amend my original score? Ideally I'd like to see both and while I can easily track my answers during review using excel, I wanted to be able to use your analytics package if possible during my review.

Additionally, I know you recommend working through older PTs first, and it looks like only PTS 50+ are available in the 3 section + experimental format. So, I wondering if you have an opinion on whether it's best to use 3-section or 4-section tests for timed PTs before we get to PT50?

Thank you!!

Hi iskander.monica,

Thanks for the post!

I recently took my first timed PT using the analytics package and now I'm looking to blind review my test. Under "Test Results" I see an option to "edit answers" which opens up my test and let's me pause as I work my way through it again.

The "edit answers" feature will amend your current score, so wouldn't recommend that if you're looking to blind review.

Instead, if you wanted to see a fresh copy of the full test without affecting your first score, you can begin the full test again from the practice tests page. There is the option to edit the timer prior to each section to move slower through a test section, and if you finish early you can simply click the “next” button at the end of a test/section. You can keep your other test scores up in another window.

Additionally, I know you recommend working through older PTs first, and it looks like only PTS 50+ are available in the 3 section + experimental format. So, I wondering if you have an opinion on whether it's best to use 3-section or 4-section tests for timed PTs before we get to PT50? Thank you!!

It really depends on what you're looking to focus on. The 3-section will give you a more accurate representation of what you would have scored if the test was the 3-scored 1-experimental. But the 4-sections scored will assist you more with your endurance.

Either the 4-section or the 3-section options for those should be fine for the older tests. What's more important is to make sure you are properly and fully reviewing those tests: https://blog.powerscore.com/lsat/how-to ... ice-tests/.

I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any additional questions. Thanks!
