With the exception of the LG section in regards to difficulty, I feel very much like you did, down to the exact questions you mentioned too. 1st LR section seemed fine, and then the 2nd seemed to have more questions of above average difficulty near the end.FreeMaxB wrote:Sup guys? I am not typically active on these forums, but the wait for this score is kinda killing me, and I have had a multitude of thoughts/emotions circulating through my mind/heart in the past few days. I would like to give my two cents on this test, and see how it aligns with others' feelings:
My sections were arranged as follows: LR, RC, LG (exp), LG, LR. I was happy to see that LR was my first section, and (as seems to be the general consensus) felt that this first LR section wasn't too bad. I believe this was the one with the physics/psych question. I am hopeful that I did not miss more than a couple of questions in this section. For the RC, I felt as if the questions weren't overly difficult. The main difficulty in this test's RC section seems to lie more in the content and length of the passages/questions. Although no one wants to read about shrubs (no offense to any botanists on this thread) the questions that went with that passage were--I thought--relatively straightforward. I'd say the comparative passage was certainly most difficult, but again, nothing out of this world. 27 questions is a lot, though, no doubt. My 3rd section was exp LG and had some tough games. One of them was some weird hybrid game about 8 floors of a building and another was an in-out game about railway stations being open or closed on certain days. This section's difficulty was compounded by the fact that I had to piss like a racehorse during it, literally to the point that I could not concentrate at all on the last two games. I should not have had a large iced red eye prior to the exam. For the real LG, I feel pretty confident, as I did not find any of the four games particularly difficult. However, this confidence is slightly alarming, as I am typically somewhat shaky on LG and not adept at making inferences quickly. From what I hear, though, there were not too many inferences to be made up front with these games, so hopefully my brute force approach was indeed effective? I think the last game was probably most difficult in the section. Finally, the second LR section seemed to contain a number of questions above-average in difficulty. Can anyone confirm that the Fengtian/Jade q, the Absinthe q, the education/ addition vs improvement of channels q and the damming of a river q were all in this section? Not at all sure how to feel about this second LR question.
Ultimately, I think this test was okay. I took the October 2015 test and felt that it was much more difficult, though it did contain a very easy RC section. I am wishing nothing but the best of luck to all of you guys. The best thing to do while waiting is to come up with all of the possible scenarios for how many you missed in each section and then produce a range of all of the possible scores you could have gotten and then spend time coming to terms with each of them, so that way you won't be wholly disappointed with a less than ideal score, if, god forbid, one arrives in your inbox on Saturday. Maybe go on lawschoolnumbers and look up profiles of applicants with less than stellar scores who were admitted to top schools. Idk, been doing both. Still anxious af
LR is always my best section by far too.
RC seemed fine.
