This is exactly what I got. First logic game was the experimental and had a tricky/odd sequencing game but after the inference was figured out it flew by.

Curve will def be in the -12 + range.

After struggling horribly with the third game and submitting half-ass 'educated' guesses for the last two or three questions, I flipped to the next section and BOOM, the inference for the entire game was staring me right in the face. I swear, the anxiety and pressure that the formal test taking conditions breed is half the damn problem. The RC section in general, and Karl Popper's passage specifically, along with games two and three makes me believe that this thing is in the -12 plus range curve (along with the wildly speculative belief that there wouldn't be two shitty curves in a row).

Am I allowed to post which question did NOT have an answer? I checked pretty carefully.

Rc wasn't bad until the last passage. It was tough..

hey guys,

I had

LR - 26 questions
LR - 26 questions
RC
LR - 25 questions
LG

As everyone has said, LG had the magazines, something about Fall and Spring, and shifts. The RC had the passages about beads, negative evidence, Beethoven.

Can anyone help me figure out with LR is experimental? I'm pretty sure the one with 25 questions counts (I'm pretty sure the question about ostriches is in this one but not entirely sure).

does anyone remember a LR with like 4 or 5 Bs in a row? Anyone remember a question about evidence of life on Mars (or some other planet), based on methane?

Dude Noam Chomsky was at my school last night. Needless to say I did not get to bed early.

-12?? that's pretty generous lol, i think -11 is as high as it will go due to 101 questions but i thought the LR on june was more difficult overall and we only had -10 for that, RC is slightly more difficult on this one (IMO) but not enough to to compensate for the LRs from June. LG could go either way, a lot of people thought june was really difficult and were thinking -12 for that...although -12+ would be awesome

There were literally 11 people total at my testing center. Pretty sure we're at opposite ends of the spectrum!

All you -8 predictors can suck a butt.

I feel like those games (or game 3, really) may be disproportionally easy for the TLS crowd. I'm guessing/hoping the average Joe Six Pack got screwed by them.

Yeah it probably just wishful thinking. But honestly I can't see them make a string of tests with that sort of curve for so long and then just throw in shitty ass curves several times in a row. The law of averages is on our side.

Don't think I had 4 or 5 Bs in a row. Mars was real though.

Which of the two LRs was harder for you, the first or the second? I had the same setup. Hoping the first was experimental.

The first was so much harder... Dunno if it was just a function of not getting into the groove yet. Also thinking that I may have misbubbled. F. Hoping the first was experimental as well, but someone responded telling me that the LR with the methane question was experimental, and that was on the second LR. Which other questions do you remember?

There is a string of people on the east coast who will take their LSAT in a couple weeks (due to weather). How would that impact this curve?

I hope -12 is a curve we get. The most recent LSATs have been quite difficult and unless the test is ramping up, I hope that the curve is in our favor.

Stop obsessing and start drinking folks. It is TCR to the LSAT.
