Reading Comprehension Teal Highlighting

[Stephanie Oswalt]

Hello,

I am still having issues with reading comp question stems being highlighted in teal but nothing in the passage being highlighted when doing PT's and individual passages on the powerscore interface. I took pt 68 today and questions 18, 25, and 27 had teal highlighting in the question stem but nothing in the passage was highlighted. Afterwards when I clicked to review those individual questions, the question stem and passages were highlighted correctly but then when I hit edit answers and went back into the testing interface the teal highlighting in the passage disappeared again.

Hi Ryan!

Thanks for the post! I'm sending you an email regarding this.

Thanks!

Hi PowerScore,

I'm sure you guys are working on this, as there have been a couple of posts regarding this issue, but I just wanted to add that I took PT 80 (Dec. 2016) this week and I'm going over reading comprehension now - on Passage #1 Question #6, my score analytics show that there should have been a sentence highlighted in the last paragraph. When I was taking the test, no blue highlighting appeared in any passage, and it made it hard to answer this question because I didn't know what claim the question stem was referring to.

On the actual LSAT, will there be blue highlighting? Or is this something that PowerScore just includes in the homework?

Thank you,
Caroline

Hi Caroline,

Thanks for the post. Yes, this is something we have been actively working on fixing, and it should be fixed now! If you are still experiencing highlighting issues, please email us directly with specifics so our IT Team can look into it further.

On the LSAT, there should indeed be that blue/teal highlighting when there is a reference to a specific portion of the passage.

Thanks!
