Can we take a moment and talk about the guy who's phone vibrated during section 5 and he got kicked out lmao

Real or experimental?

[Li'l Sebastian]

I agree. Although Killoran just tweeted a -11 prediction based on what he's heard. Take that for whatever it's worth.

It's worth a lot less because Killoran himself isn't the one who took the test. Even if he was I wouldn't bet that he could get it right >70% of the time.

Now someone tell me how to make a poll.

Where was this policy when my freakin proctor's phone vibrated every 2 minutes

[jnwa]

Some guy in my center was honestly filling in answers for 20 seconds after the proctor said stop and his excuse was that he was shading in answers from previous sections. Proctor let him stay...i dont really care and i would rather not see someone get kicked out but the inconsistency between centers in kinda wack.

Asking again...anyone remember LR question about elephant breeding?

Proctors are awful. This is a fact of LSAT life.

Ah, I see via reddit that it looks like the rat nests question was real, and I think the elephant ? was with that section (then again, it's all a blur).

I agree with you mostly I didn't take this one, but I do have the benefit of access to a pretty wide range of people who did, including some really high level scorers and experienced test takers. I'm generally pretty close on scale predictions, but there's no doubt that I'm not perfect. Looking at what was on this test (some of which I'm familiar with from when it appeared in experimentals on prior tests) gives me a strong feeling it won't be a really loose scale, which is why I tweeted that it would be "maybe" -11. If it was -10 or -12 that wouldn't surprise me either. It's just too bad we won't know for years.

I don't remember that one and I only had 2 LR sections. But it's already been proven that my memory of the test is spotty so might want someone else to confirm.

Confirming experimental.

How about nests and mites? Do you remember that one?

This might be the alcohol talking, but I have no memory of that. I think it was exprimental

Nests and mites was real tho

Oh, got it--thanks! I guessed I mixed those up (and I can't blame alcohol, unfortunately).

[footballlax55]

I got screwed with the reading experimental. Had the real section last and was tired and unfocused and the one passage about moral imperatives just seemed so dense my eyes glazed over and I was about to quit. The rest of the passages didn't seem bad, just boring. Maybe 1 or 2 of them had 1 legitimately tough question and a couple were kinda tough. If I hadn't been tired it might have been not too bad so I'd say the reading was maybe just fairly tougher than usual, but not crazy hard.

And the LG seemed to be average/slightly easier than average. I would have finished 3 or 4 min early, but I forgot a rule or two and the standard acceptable situations for 2 of the games took way longer than they should have.
I think if people messed up an important inference or two on the harder games they would have taken a lot longer/ got more wrong.

The 25 question LR seemed to be easy up until the last third and then I think like the last question or two were real hard.

And the 26 question LR seemed to be even easier in the beginning and didn't have the one or two super hard questions but had more kinda hard questions.

I'm thinking there will be a -12 curve because it seemed barely harder than average.

So I need you guys to tell me to not cancel my score.

[lawat43]

Anyone remember an LR question about physics & psychology?

Yes I had 3 sections 1 3 and 5 I think that question was in my third section. Pretty sure it's the section that didn't count

I hope the second LR didn't count. I had experimental LR too and (1,3,5) and feel pretty good about 1 and 5 but had a harder time with 3 for some reason. RC was challenging especially the one about shrubs people are talking about. That one sucked. I feel ok, but not great about my performance. I froze on games and had to guess on a couple questions and they weren't even that hard.

Don't cancel your score. Seriously, you probably did much better than you currently feel.

I don't see the point in cancelling a score cause it still counts as a take either way. If you're early in the process, just retake in the future. If you're going in fall & (hopefully) have some acceptances by now, what's to lose? besides you're probably being too hard on yourself
