What type of driller are you?
What type of driller are you?
The takeaways
  • Our data found that (1) users' LR timed section score steady increases the more questions they drill, and (2) with our adaptive algorithm, Depth-First Drillers (discussed in the blog) spend the majority of their time tackling moderate to difficult questions and achieve on average 21.4% accuracy improvement when answering difficult questions.

This month marks the first anniversary of AdeptLR's launch. We founded AdeptLR with the mission to make LSAT preparation more efficient – “Drill smarter, improve faster!” Our AI-machine learning algorithm uses real-time data to provide dynamic questions based on skill level. Data is core to AdeptLR, and, in the next few weeks, we will share some insights and discovery from our data to help you study better. In this inaugural post, we’d like to share how AdeptLR users harness the power of our platform and how they perform. There are two groups of users who are most successful at using AdeptLR to improve their scores:

‍

1) Breadth-First Drillers – Dedicated users who use our platform to practice across categories

We have incredibly dedicated users who drilled extensively across different categories. The top Breadth-First Drillers drilled over 1,500 questions during their subscription periods. On average, they improved their performance in LR timed section by 3.8 over the course of their AdeptLR subscription periods. For example, one of our Breadth-First Drillers increased her score from -5 in her initial LR timed section to -1 in her LR timed section at the end of her AdeptLR subscription. Our data shows that the more you drill, the more likely you’ll be able to make significant improvements. For anyone struggling with LR, don’t give up! Keep drilling! In a subsequent post, we will discuss other study patterns and share tips on how to better harness the power of AdeptLR.

There is a steady increase in points for LR timed sections as users continue to drill.

2) Depth-First Drillers – Advanced users who need targeted help with specific categories

Depth-First Drillers make up another group of highly specialized users in our pool. They don’t drill much, but they focus on drilling very specific categories to tackle their weaknesses. A unique feature of AdeptLR is our 1-click import from LawHub. We’ve noticed that Depth-First Drillers use this feature to import their historical practice data and leverage our analytic dashboard to identify categories that require targeted drilling. With our adaptive algorithm, Depth-First Drillers spend the majority of their time tackling moderate to difficult questions in targeted categories. We’ve observed significant improvement in their selection of correct responses.

Depth-First Drillers spend the majority of their time tackling moderate to difficult questions and achieve on average 21.4% accuracy improvement when answering difficult questions.

Our data also sheds a lot of light on study patterns and strategies. In the next post, we will share some interesting observations including whether it’s okay to take a study break! Stay tuned.

Data Intelligence – LSAT Study Strategies Part II
Our data found that: (1) veteran AdeptLR drillers typically spend less than 1 min on easy questions and slightly over 1 min on difficult questions; (2) slow and steady wins the race – users who have extended preparation periods and drill a lot outperform those who drill a lot within a short period; and (3) users often reach a plateau shortly after the one-thousand question mark - the key to overcoming the plateau is to persevere and keep drilling.

Data Intelligence – LSAT Study Strategy Part I
Our data found that: (1) our algorithm helped users improve faster by reducing the number of LR questions required for an increase in their LR timed section score; (2) Breadth drilling (discussed in our previous blog) is more beneficial at the beginning stages of LSAT prep while Depth drilling is more beneficial in the later stages; and (3) for LR, regularly taking timed sections in between drilling is more effective than taking timed sections only.
