I swear I saw a question like that before....discrepancy question.

Yeah I remember that one and I even remember the answer, but alas, we're not allowed to discuss these things

All the racial information I've filled out on actual apps only asks if you're Hispanic/Latino, not the specific type and I know on the LSAT I had the option of specifying that I'm Puerto Rican (I didn't see an option for MA though so, unless I'm just blind, I'm not sure how one identifies as that either).

No. From your application. Although, studies on race and the LSAT likely depend on the answers given to race on the score sheet. Which is sad, because the lack of categories leaves many people unable to answer the question and thus the results of these studies are less conclusive. But, yes, there are problems with racial categories on the apps, as well.

The cookbook releases? I thought it was easy, did it in like 5 minutes after wasting like 2.5 mins staring at game 3.
Cookbooks was 4 right? I can barely remember now haha.
Yeah I breeze through it even with the little time remaining and had time to look at G3 again.
I think game 3 will go down as an easy game that just messes with your mind if you don't get it. Hopefully the curve can adjust for this.

I envy the people in the future that are going to have that easy LG, that I had as an experimental section, on their test...

Its experimental for a reason. It likely wont be seen on a real test if it was too easy. Or if so you wont envy them bc it will be coupled w an impossible RC.

Thanks.
Somehow it seems a lot of us misread a rule - for me as I said before I missed the "non" in Nonconsecutive lol, I assumed I would be the only one to make such a silly mistake but it seems a lot of us may have forgotten our reading goggles yesterday

It was such an easy mistake to make.

Sigh... PT average was 172, 3rd take sat out a year for this moment. Made the same mistake and totally botched that game. Not a good feeling smh

Made the same mistake as well. Although I'm not cancelling I know that mistake is going to take a major toll. Ugh feel so bad

I totally knew zero answers for the June LG and only missed 5 on the section. Missed 9 on RC so bad test but it doesnt mean disaster to fudge one game on LG

I think for a lot of people aiming for a 173+ one blown game (even only a five question one) does equal a disaster.

Without being too specific could you say what that question was about?

game 4 was easy. It was the typical (you know what type it was) with only like 5 or 6 variables and no tricks.

Maybe the exchange the rule question was kinda hard on that game. It took me like 3-4 minutes total for that game though, a godsend cause I misread G3 at first.

This test feels similar to 74. 75 was easier but rough curve.
May just be personal strengths but it felt exactly like 74 to me. I was struggling throughout the exam and just squeezed out a 170. 175 went super smoothly for me but still hit my PT average so apparently how I feel doesn't quite mean much lol

Yeah I had the same impression.

Thing is too, I went 15-25/26 and then 1-14. I spent a solid 20 mins on 15-25. So maybe I think the LR was easier because I went slowly and thought them through.

I dont like doing that bc I want the sure points on the easier ones. Get why you would though. You're fresher and it can be a comfidence boost

My second-to-last PT I actually went -9 on games and miraculously pulled a 173 lol.

This kind of story is the only thing giving me hope for this one. I'm just bitter about leaving those points so easily within reach.

Were there any easy questions in the last passage? I can't recall and hope I minimized the damage. I breezed through first three passages.

I remember a question about how something in A might be analogous to something in B...it was hard to conceptualize....Also all the questions were basically like "what would the author of passage A" agree with regarding passage B? I would tell you...if I could even properly understand what you guys are saying....

I approached passage 4 like an apply-the-principle question, except in RC form instead of LR form.
