December 2010 Initial Reactions Forum

That question about suns older than time was the only thing in LR that tripped me up, and I don't even know why

also got tripped up by that, and others.

[jd20132013]

"Stars" fucked with me too.

Not going to go into more detail because this security bot is freaking me out

I managed to cut out three i'm pretty sure it couldn't be. felt better than 50/50 on the one i picked but who knows

[2Serious4Numbers]

Look they have done -14 curves before. And they have done -4 for a 180. I have taken those tests(June 2010) and it was a much much easier test than this test. I think they will bump it up at least to -15. But I am guessing -17.

So what you're saying is that my first LSAT was the hardest one ever administered?

Its certainly the hardest games section i think ive seen.

if it was worse than the old-skool beakers game i would have broken down

this test made the october one seem as easy as the sorority girl sitting next to me.

no way it was harder than dinos. no way.

Uh, I'm looking at the June 2010 "official lsat preptest" and 180 was 97-99 correct.. it was out of 100 (one dropped). soo you're full of bullshit on that one.

doesn't mean there hasn't been a -4 180 before. i would have no idea where to look for that information, though.

I am not full of bullshit. Check it out: http://www.alpha-score.com/resources/ls ... onversion/

-4 180 baby. If they dropped one, so what.

I have taken every PT available, therefore I have done all the games. I have never had a games section trip me up as much as this one. I truly cannot remember two games as hard as the stained glass and conferences + a restricted workspace game in any of the PTs. They were so hard they were almost unfair.

Edit: stained was not as tough as dinos but the conferences game definitely was.

[Diiizzzzoooo]

no way it was harder than dinos. no way.

I thought dinos was pretty straightforward

[veragood]

um, -4 out of 101 would be "97 correct". which is lined up with 179...

am i missing something?

[northwood]

the test is getting more difficult. The curve will probably be -14 at most. Perhaps LSAC decided to put the exp after the break??? just to mess with everyone?

Before you start overthinking the cancel or keep remember this: TLS people have been prepping more than the norm. A lot of people in october thought they got pwned by LG or RC, and ended up doing their average or better. Dont over react now that you have plenty of time to think about it. Its not the end of the world. There is always February or june. I would gess that the majority of people will score within their pt ranges.

+1

[whirledpeas86]

FUCK a stained glass window.

Gawd.

I pwn'd the experimental games during section 3, and since I could sort of see through the page and the first page of section 4 went was FULL of text, I totally thought that it was RC. Nope. Motherfucking LG. Not enough room to write on the first game, hard-ass games 2 and 3. Just. Wow. If the curve is -14, I Maybe have a shot at 170. Otherwise, I am seriously fucked (and not in a fun way).

Goddamn you, LSAC.

[Pricer]

I went -0 on dinos in 8 minutes. There were two games on this LSAT that would have taken me 12 minutes to complete, hence why I had to guess on 5 on one of them.

[logicgamesbrah]

took the october test and was disappointed so i took again today and I got to say I am feeling very good right now, RC was pretty straightforward, LR was a breeze, the games were hard but I know i got 2 right for sure and i got half of another right, just from this section alone i should improve because on the oct test i bombed the games completely

best of luck to everybody

My feelings, too. Difficulty =/= curve, especially considering how these past few tests have been trending.

you a chick or something?

[2011Law]

all I can say is that dinos was the hardest game at least since the 30s for me.

[URMdan]

I don't remember stars...

[stargazin]

Get high --> take the LSAT high --> score high marks?

The flaw in the argument is that you have allowed a key term to shift illicitly in meaning

Although I wish this were true, we have absolutely ruled this out ITT.

[DukeCornell]

Hey yall, the game section with the stained glass window was the REAL game section.

[2011L1]

RC (real) LR RC (exp.) LG LR. 102 questions on mine. Both RC 27 qs. Interesting, I noticed the exp. section thread linked up above had some of the same LR questions as on this test.

i thought most people in that order had the real rc 3rd. does it vary?

Same.
