Ok, so Napolean was real.

The first Q of what I think was experimental was about alcohol - anyone remember this?

Not experimental because my first question was about alcohol and I had an experimental games. Someone's grandfather lived to be 95 and drank?

Woah, woah, Napoleon? I remember nothing that included Napoleon.

Didn't have a Napoleon either I don't think. Definitely had the old guy drinking till 95

Then we had different experimentals?

I had three LRs my first section I'm hoping was experimental - does anyone with 2 remember the advertisers creating needs question?

Yep. Had it. Counted.

Guys please stop quoting the comment where I'm WRONG

A few more general thoughts:

Overall, although the test definitely seem like one of the easier ones I've taken, I don't think I did great which is really dissapointing. My bugaboo all along has been speed on LG. I had been recently still scoring in the 169-173 range on PTs, even with 3-4 wrong in games...this was usually with getting at least half way through the last game at worst.

Anyway, I really screwed myself on this one by wasting a good 4-5 minutes on game 2 or 3 knowing I made an obvious mistake somewhere but couldn't find it. Panic set in and though I EVENTUALLY realized I had misread "first" as "fifth" (or vice versa) in one of the rules, by then it was too late and I was out of time for the last game, which was of course a 7 question one. Only had time to do the easy first question and then had to guess bubble for the last 6 questions. And finally to top everything off I saw someones answer sheet as we were walking out at the end of the exam and their shortest section had no A choices filled in for the last several questions...which is of course the letter I guessed.

I know me making stupid misreading/miswriting errors like this are greatly exacerbated by fatigue/grogginess. I'm def not a morning person and if circumstances weren't what they were for me currently I definitely would've waited to take the June test so I could avoid the morning...I'm be willing to wager my scores would be consistently 3-4 points higher in the afternoon/evening.

All and all still crossing my fingers for high 160s but I'm going to need to have been damn near 100% on all the questions I felt confident about. Would take a minor miracle to break 170 which was really the goal, but I at least I don't think I did any worse than the 164 I got taking the test nearly 4 years ago sorta on a whim with little prep. Hard to compare exactly though because that 164 was artifically high...looking back at my old answer sheet it appears I blind guessed on 16 questions across the sections that counted, but somehow managed to get 6 of those right (definitely way above expected value).

[justabitunusual]

Did anyone else feel like there was a low occurrence of match the parallel logic/reasoning passages in LR? I really hate those questions, so it's not a complaint, but it seemed like there were less of them...amirite?

you know this is the reason i love you right?

Less partying more right answer circling.

[Big Red]

?

I'm not sure if that's something you're allowed to talk about, but I definitely noticed that and it's most of the reason why I was wrong about the experimental

[TetrisBlock]

Does anyone know if the LG that contained Zoe and the three projects of September/October/November was experimental?

The S/O/N game. which was 1st, is real

Wait, I thought the third section (the second LG for me) was real. The one with the cars. I can't remember whether S/O/N was in the first or third.

I heard this particular waiter's thread was gonna be full of gymbros and fitness talk so I'll get the ball rolling

Aww, I am sorry to hear this. There is no way you can June? I am also not a morning person, and I definitely was confused while drilling to warm up and for a bit of the first section. So, I sympathize.

I remember nothing about first or fifth...

[Big Red]

Also I went FULL ASPIE and didn't talk to, or really look at, anyone - also pretty sure a dude behind me was TLS due to the black tics and his general calmness.

S/O/N/ and the cars were the same section, the real section (along with art gallery and projects or something)

shoulda hit him up... and yeah people by me on break were talking about how awkward it is because no1 can look at their phones so they have to just keep looking around... so true

[Kezaron]

YES I HATED THAT ONE!

Everything went pretty well.... except that section. That first LR was definitely the low point of the test for me as far as I could tell.

Fire alarm went off during my RC but I'm still thinking -8

Lol...I did that last time and since it's against my social nature I felt like I was walking into a funeral...this time I actually talked to a few people and felt fine about it, but it was my 3RD TIME taking it, so really nothing short of a bulldozer crashing into the building probably could have made it more stressful or nerve wrecking.
