Hello,
I have a question about the stylus. Does the stylus allow you to circle parts of the stimulus like the conclusion/premises , and other marks you normally make on the paper test? I found myself performing differently because I could not circle and mark the stimulus.
Thanks!
Carolyn

Hi Carolyn,
I think I answered this for you elsewhere, but the answer is NO. You an only underline or highlight; there is no freehand marking on the screen! It makes things very challenging, and so we discuss these approaches in our new courses and the 2020 LSAT Bibles 🙂
Thanks!
