It's how much you can miss and still get a 170

Thanks. That explains it.

That's not the definition of "pre-determination". It's impossible to know whether the curve will be -12 or -13.

Did anyone else get a logic game about rows of trees? Please say no if you didn't have LG experimental...

no that was exp

Yes my LG2 was exp. I figured that out several pages ago. Got freaked out at first.

So is the curve predetermined or is it determined based off of how people did? I think I heard that experimental sections helped equate (create the curve for) future tests

Pretty sure 1st lr was 25 questions, so that would leave either LR2 or LR3 to be the exp depending on which one was 27 questions..[/quote]

Please respond to AJB.

How sure are you that the second logical reasoning had 26?

It's impossible for US to know. LSAC certainly knows the curve already.

I had 2 real LR and the second was definitely 26

I had LR-LG-LR-LR-RC

I don't remember any LR section having 27 and I'm hoping they didn't because I only bubbled 26 on the third LR section and am almost positive the other 2 had 25. My first LR section started with a SA fill in the blank question that looked very similar to the first one on October's test. Did that section also have the vitamin question in it or was the the other LR section? I had to guess on the last 6 of the last LR section because I took too much time re-reading questions Pretty sure one of them had something to do with chess and students getting better grades? And some question about diesel trucks.

No, LSAC TRIES to determine the curve during test construction, they cannot KNOW. If we all did horribly and would need -15 to reach the top 3%, are you telling me that LSAC will just leave us as is because we didn't fit into their pre-conceived distribution?

Got out at 1pm but had to get something to eat right away. Proctors were very efficient. It was amazing how few test takers there were compared to two years ago same time (same test site) - in 2011 there were four rooms full of people, this time, we barely fit in one room.
Anyway, I had LG-LR-LG-RC-LR. I don't remember anything about trees.

Okay. But, that doesn't really help....since your ordering may be different than those who got the experimental section as well...

I had 28 in my center and we each got a plastic table to ourselves. Pretty clutch.

this.

lr1 - 25 , lr2 -25, lr3-26.... im pretty sure LR1 was experimental.. the questions all felt weird... altho LR2 felt incredibly easy for some reason

I had LR - LG - LR - LR-RC

I had the same format. I hope the 1st LR (which started with a fill in the blank SA Q) was REAL!

It was def. 25-25-26 for experimental LR. After question 15 I worked backwards from the last question, so there's no way I would've missed it.

LR2 was harder for me - I didn't finish on time. I am hoping LR1 was real.

It was, I remember having to complete the argument and I had two real LR

I cant remember which questions were to each section so I wont know which section was experimental until the scores come back....that may be a good thing...

I think in earlier posts people validated that the second logical reasoning, with us having the logical reasoning experimental, was the real one.

In which case, the first one was definitely the experimental.

I don't remember anything about trees either and I had the experimental section as well.

.

I had LG-LR-LG-RC-LR and, despite the discussion here, I STILL can't figure out which LG section is the real deal and it's driving me nuts. A few people mentioned "summaries", but I don't recall that at all. Who's willing to tread the line as close as possible without getting banned to help me figure this out??
