I got -10 on RC in October, felt much better about this one. I did the order 1 - 2 - 4 -3, worked out well because I took time with the Jewwet passage, and I failed at the tooth decay passage and I would have anyways so not upset, I'll take it.

RC screwed my life!!

I had a LR-RC-LR-LR-LG test and it cast a pall on everything after it. The last passage is a complete and utter blur! It was INSANELY dense and the questions were very difficult. If I esappe that one with a -3 or a -4 I will thank my lucky stars and hope for the best. I definitely did not expect it to be so difficult, because Im usually good at RC and managed a -1 in October. This time, not so much :(

I accidentally filled in C on #28 of the RC (there was no #28) because I think I naturally filled in the "next" question after moving onto the next section. When I got to fill in #2 for that section, I noticed #1 had nothing in it. Then that's when I couldn't decide whether I had filled it in on #28 of the previous section or if the RC section indeed HAD 28 questions. Because I didn't want to risk it, I did not erase #28. This won't affect anything, right?

It'll be extraneous. They can't count a non-existent question against you.

Pretty sure it won't affect you at all

I went -4 in October. I thought this one was slightly harder(emphasis on slightly) because the tooth caries(never heard of caries before I had to make sure they did not mean carries) questions were hard. I understood both passages but had trouble with about 3 questions. Nonetheless I m expecting to do no worse than -4 of October

Earthquake/Lichens easiest; court illustration easier; tooth caries hardest, Jewwet hard.

I agree with this assesment.

I would be absolutely thrilled with a -4. Thrilled.

Glad to hear I wasn't the only one having trouble with the carie passage, at least. I made a vow that I would try to predict every answer, really attempt to understand the structure of the passage...but it all went out the window. My roadmap and underlines were a mess, and I'm surprised I made it through the section at all.

-6 or -7 wouldn't surprise me.

+1
Tooth Caries gave me no time for the passage

Though lichens was in general an easier passage, the last question on that section drove me nuts. Spent my extra time at the end staring at it blankly- anyone else?

Luckily I suck so bad that I only got to the first 3 questions of Jewett and didn't have to submit myself to actually working my way to the wrong answers

Yes except I didn't have time to look back.
