I don't remember seeing either of those questions (I had an experimental LG).
I had experimental LR and I don't remember either of those questions LOL.
Not everyone has the same experimental section. I remember for the September exam I had an experimental RC that was different than what a bunch of other people had. (And I would know if I was mistaken, given that one of my exp passages was what I did my undergraduate thesis about).
Ah okay. I did not know that :!: Thanks.


Also, I just told my dad that "a lot of people that regularly go -1/0 on LG" found the games section hard this sitting.
He asks (obviously): how do you know they do that well?
Me:.... well... ummm, they're people on the Internet, and they said so???
Him: hmph.
Me: hey, it's not like that! (I explained more thoroughly why it's pretty much believable. He understood lol)

I think Sept. LG section was wayyy easier than Dec's LG section.

At least with the virus game, I had an idea and a strong intuition of how to set up the game.

For Dec's 4th trading game, I had NO idea what to do. Hoping the the LSAC gods placed "B" for almost all the answer choices.

Man, I was hoping Dec LSAT would have a conventional LG section to make up for the odd ball game of Sept. but NOPE.

I was aiming for 165ish and I think I did my averages on LR, better than average on RC, and I think (I know) I bombed LG. My PT's were all over the place. From 171 to the low 160's. So probably a 165 average.

That doesn't sound so bad, really, at all. Not incredible. But chin up dude/gal!

No one is talking about games 1 and 2, which were super standard LSAT logic games. I think that the trend is shifting to having 2 standard, easy (~5 minute) games, a standard but medium/difficult game, and an unusual game.

I did well on this games section, but I drilled a TON of games after going -3 in September. I think that the key was doing games 1 and 2 quickly. That left you with enough time to brute force games 3 and 4 without getting the super key inferences.

I had LR-RC-LR-LG-LR. I thought the third game was tricky and the fourth was hard. But other than that I felt like most of the LR and RC were easy.

I had the same sequence ... of the LR, which of these was experimental, the middle one? Or does it vary between test takers?

I thought one LR was on the medium-harder side. First one in my ordering. Second one I thought was on the easier end.

Did anyone notice a distinct lack of one of the answer choices in one of the LR sections? >_>

If you went with brewpub you did! #teamproductionbrewery
I thought you were better than this, Instumental. Damn. Production brewers really should reevaluate if law school is even for them.
This. You were boulevard crew too, correct?
Carlene Blvd 4 lyfe

boulevard will never die
If I had any cleverness left in me, I would have argued that he open "The Carlene Blvd Brewpub." But alas, I was too busy wondering how he'd trade to get the real estate to begin with.
My God. That's it. The successful expansion of Carlene Boulevard will permit more traffic to the downtown area of Lower Soho At Tribeca(?) which will increase foot traffic. The perfect site for a brewpub!

After barely making it to the testing center on time and having major bubbling mistakes on all three of the first three sections (thank god I think I caught them all), I left the testing center relatively relaxed. I thought I did fine, not my best but not my worst. Jump forward six hours and I cannot stop second guessing myself. I thought LR was easier than normal, and the RC was nothing too complex (which lulled my into a state of relaxation, which resulted in me not finishing all of the last section), but LG was, well, iffy. I don't know if I'm reading too much into my test or what, but now I can't decide if I should take it again in February.

I killed all the sections except LG. I choose "C" for all the answers on game 4. Just reading the set up for the game me a head ache, and usually the games are my best section.

I think there will be a decent curve. I doubt many strong test takers felt confident about acing game 4 epesically with the stress of test day.

idk, I think they seriously gimped RC to compensate. I wouldn't count on a forgiving curve.

Seriously? What are you waiting for?
