LR and RC were really smooth for me. It's going to come down to games. If I was able to eek out those last two games despite my timing challenges, my bet is 175+. Otherwise, I'm guessing low 170s.

How about you?
Ah that's good to hear! Were you just rushed so you didn't have time to ascertain your ACs or did you actually have to guess on some?

RC went very well. I'm getting over a cold and I wasn't feeling 100% on LR, but I only remember there being ~2 questions that I'm still unsure if I got right. I'm scared though because I noticed with ~20 seconds left that I circled an obviously wrong answer on that cup question early in LR2. I fixed it, but I'm worried that I made similarly silly mistakes on other questions. LG I went -0. I'd definitely say mid-170s. Maybe mid/low 170s if the curve is -10.

Glad to hear that it overall went well! :) Hopefully you got those games questions right.



As an aside, I'm at 100+ posts so now I can post images! :D
Pics! Yessss!

That's an awesome performance, bro/sephina. Now for the waiting game...

You missed the most important detail though,
#teambrewpub or #teambrewery?

All these people choosing brewpub... it's almost 50/50 in the poll right now...

Can't believe I will have to endure law school with all these MORONS

#teambrewpub all the way! Sorry for the delay drove to Vegas!

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.
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.
I had the same experience. The last LG was so difficult for me that, had it not been my final section, I'm pretty certain it would have affected my performance on the next section. I initially selected a poor set-up for Game 3, and that cost valuable time. Still got the key inference, but it took me halfway through the set before the Eureka moment.

There's a chance I set a personal (negative) record on that final game. The good news personally is that I don't count on -0 LG to hit my target, but I still used more misses there than I wanted. Hoping that my confidence on RC-LR-LR is well founded enough to cover the difference. Could really use a perfect run somewhere else to make it up.

Haha, I had LG as my second to last section, and I noticed I kept on thinking about it and how it would ruin my score (for about the first 5 or so questions, and I was definitely going slower than I had on the previous two LR sections. This was my 3rd LR section).

Then I stopped, closed my eyes, took a couple of deep breaths, and said that up until that section I may have performed as well as I ever have, and I wasn't going to let that one LG section ruin my test and delay me. It went fine after that.

But I was indeed concerned for a bit!

Had an experimental LR. Does anyone know if the one about abalone and otters was real? And one about show writers making characters more realistic or something?

I actually thought lg# 4 was pretty easy. It was very different for sure but not as hard as 3 I thought. Then again I missed the key inference on 3 until the last question.

Otters question was real. I don't remember the show writers question (exp LG for me).

Glad to see pub pulling ahead :) He can build it on the corner of properly widened Carlene Boulevard! :D

EURO TEST Two LG sections - one I thought I recognised one of the games, but there are probably only so many names they can run through witness sequencing. One of the sections had a game about pianists and violinists doing duets - for the second time in two LSATs! (Albeit in a different setup)

Not true. Experimental sections are future scored sections, they're in there to get data on how people do so they can calibrate the equivalisation. It may be different than the real equivalent (easier/harder), but it is not uniformly 'easy'. There is a very slight possibility of a broken question because genuinely broken questions should be removed before they're used in a real scored section, but that happens very infrequently anywhere on the test.

Can the mods please ban all those who voted brewery. I'm new here and their corporate sell outism is making me uncomfortable. Plus everyone should see that a tiny T. rex told tony to go brew PUB.

You've sold out Tony to a future of reheating frozen onion rings and cleaning vomit off bathroom stalls. Bashar al-Assad would recoil at the atrocity you just committed.

The location of Tony's pub close to a law school
Ensures he will have plenty of debt ridden bros that chose brewery to clean his stalls as lsac will see that there in fact was a right answer and Doc brewery bros 10 pts.

Anyone know if the lr question about new cars was real?

Yeah that was real. I didn't have an experimental LR, but I had that question.

I remember coming across a very similar question in a past LR. Almost positive it was the same question with a different scenario.

In other words, I made a general conclusion based on a sample that may not be representative.

So guys after sleeping on it, how do you think you did? I'm feeling a lot better about this test than September. The only section that was sketchy for me was LG and even then it was just the last six questions (last question of Game 3 took a sec). I may be over estimating my ability, but I could see my score being anywhere from -4 to -12.
