Is a bigger curve better for your score?

[katalina1]

I had 3 LR sections. The only question that stuck out to me was one (my third LR section) that asked you to select the choice that matched *BOTH* flaws in a statement. I feel like I haven't seen that before. Anyone know if that was real or exp?

I am in the exact same boat. I took Oct too and had two LG. This test felt harder than October to me, personally...
Was LG section 1 and 2 for you?? I'm getting the games all mixed up, but I felt better during the test about section 1 and from what I can piece together that section was real. I remember soo much detail from all the other sections but I think because they were back to back I'm having trouble figuring out which games were in which section.

I had two LGs in October too! I agree this one felt harder than October overall. And yes, LG was 1 and 2 for me too. I think the second one was a little easier for me, but honestly I breezed through both pretty easily. I'm having the same problem remembering which game was in which, but I think my first one was real too.

Was this real? If so... YES!!!! I'm a Hemingway enthusiast

Real, and I must say I enjoyed having a game with that name as well!

[tedofsandimas]

I had them back to back at first too! Can you tell if the first or second section was the real one? I can't remember which game was in which section, but I remember not feeling as good about the first.

I think the first, but they are blurring together in my memory. I thought the second section was a little easier too.

Is a bigger curve better for your score?

technically yes, because it means you have more flexibility to get more wrong and still get a 170.

The higher curve is a result of tougher questions. A smaller curve means the questions were easier, so they expect you to get more of them right.

For example, PT 71 was a -14 curve or something like that and the LR was noticeably more difficult. So if they give you a bigger curve it's good bc you could get more wrong, but if you bombed the whole thing bc of the toughness that curve won't really help you

[texasreznikoff]

'both flaws' was real.

except for RC, i feel like this test was waaaaaaaaay easier than december's.... but that doesn't necessarily mean that i expect to see the score increase i'd hoped for, especially since i can only assume the curve will be like -10 because LSAC wants to ruin my life forever and ever amen.

Bleh, so the LG with field research and houses was experimental? Felt better on that one.

[AbbeyS]

Honestly in the grand scheme of things, this Feb test doesn't REALLLLLY matter for me technically, because I'm already in. I'm just retaking for more scholarship money (which is very important to me, hence my levels of stress being through the stratosphere) but I keep trying to tell myself that it's "kinda ok" if I didn't get a huge score improvement. And plus I don't know how to feel because i always end up blurry & remembering it differently. So I'm trying to think of this as like, I already have a big piece of pie but this was just me going for the whole pie lol. And I'll still be satisfied with just the big piece at the end of the day

[Morcartwright]

The only LR question that really gave me problems time-wise was the question about Psychology/reduction Q

Eff that question. I was clueless

Same.

Psychology

I had 3 LR, and I hope to dear god the 3rd was not real, but I don't remember enough about the 3 sections specifically to determine from posts here which 2 were real. I bombed LG by missing an easy inference (that I realized during writing sample) and letting that game take up a lot of time. I entered that game (the 3rd one) at the 10 min mark too. Infuriating. Then had the 3rd LR which I honestly thought was a lot harder than the other two. I have a feeling that 3rd LR was real, too. Expecting a score at the lower end of my practices, based on my # of LG Qs that were equivalent to guesses. And trying to resolve myself to that score now, and then be content with that expectation. Possible? Who the hell knows .

Anyone have any absinthe?

+1

Anyone have any absinthe?

Pretty sure this was my 3rd LR. Did you have 2 LR? FUCK
