Who else thinks the dec. test was WAY easier than June's? None of the passages or games stick out as being exceptionally difficult. I had 2 LG sections and at least 3 were sequential setups (the easiest, imo). This makes me think that the curve will be brutal.

equal in terms of difficulty

curve has to do with last three tests + other factors. no sense in trying to predict it.

was the LG section with the girl's class schedule (9am and 3pm stat class) real or experimental?

It was real. There was only one LG section.

I had 2 because one of them was experimental

I also thought it was easier than June, no bullshit dino game for example, but I was also more prepared. And though I'm a terrible judge of my own performance, if my last 5 widely varying PT scores were any indication, I thought curve was most likely a -10.

(9am stat class was real)

Yea I thought it was much easier no dinos or hybrid in the real. In the experimental there was a hybrid but I was prepared for it and smashed it nonetheless this time.

dino's are officially extinct.

But the overall difficulty of the exam was probably the same. I felt more ready this time and was scoring more consistently. LG was definitely easier though. Except on the rowing one. I think they set it up so everyone mapped the damn thing backwards. Kille like 3 minutes trying to analyze the problems in reverse. Almost got me

Can you elaborate on the rowing game? I am not recalling it for some reason

no idea what rowing is

Very possible that it was experimental cant remember but basically sequential game of b<a e<c etc.
So you would naturally go left to right with the 7 people meaning the leader is at the right and the left is the last person. But when the questions come the options are the other way around and hence reversed. The leader is at the left. It has happened in other tests before to and can throw you off. Choice at that point is to remap which can be confusing and waste time or keep going.

No rowing on my exam.

This was a shitload easier for me than June.

Love the tar man. I hated June. Stupid Mauve ultrasaur. I bleive green is most likely iguanadon though. I reviewed this game before the test. haha

I'd put December on par with June, but I'd qualify that by saying the harder LR questions were way more challenging. Only LR on June that took me awhile to figure out was the organized crime/biotechnology question. I really have no clue why the dinosaur game on June LG is regarded as so hard; it broke down to one deduction. I'd say the 4th game on Dec. was as hard, and I struggled more with it. RCs were both pretty challenging.

It was a game with 7 canoes. It was experimental. It had pure sequencing elements to it, but some conditional rules as well. It was pretty easy. I wish it would have counted.

I actually was pleasantly surprised when I got into the test room. I felt overall it was a little easier than PT 55-57, but pretty much the same.

you thought 4 on dec was hard? how so?

I actually thought RC on June was way easier. The Willa Cather passage didn't give me as much trouble as this past sculptors passage gave me.

Maybe I was hallucinating, but I swear I saw a few of the questions already as experimentals in June

I wish experimental was real too. Soo much easier and I ran out of time on the real LG. NOthing too difficult just was first section and not in my rhythm. Some girl in the beginning took 30 mins to sign her certifying statement and bubble in. No joke. Everryone was staring at her like wtf. we got in the room at like 845 and were seated. didnt start testing til 10. Because of that the proctors cut our break to 10 mins. Everyone was in the room so they were like ready?? ok good.

You didn't start until an hour and 15 minutes after arriving in room? wow

Seriously everyone wanted to choke her. We were just staring at her. She sat in right in front of me and was taking so long I went to the bathroom came back and noticed she was erasing around the bubbles to make them perfect. I was like wtf. She smelled too or someone did right around me. Might have been wearing one of those diapers. Took me like 2 sections until my nose adjusted to the smell. Ridiculous. At elast I was in back of the room this time. I hate being in front.

One guy held the whole room up for us while sharpening his entire 15 pack of pencils. At around the 9th pencil the proctor finally said I think we're all done waiting on you. Get in your seat. If you need more pencils I will have some up here. He had 40 pissed off people looking at him like he was a freaking moron.

A diaper?!?

Oops, I meant 3. The class schedule was on par with dino game because it had the same revolving door of options - one being out meant one had to be in, that kind of thing. I guess I'm projecting when I say 4 because I spent so much time on 3 that I didn't finish 4
