So to be clear and to end confusion on the people that had LR-AR-LR-LR-RC the real LR sections are sections 3 and 4?

[JackelJ]

I had LG (exp) -LR-LG -RC- LR

Omg I seriously considered canceling right after that Medical speciality game. Glad to find out it was exp! LR was so so and half of the RC was tough.

good thing you didn't cancel!

I think it depends. My first question of the test was the alcohol and grandpa from what I remember, and that one counted. I think section 4 didn't count.

[A. Nony Mouse]

I got to the last game with 10 minutes left, started. Then two questions in I was like OH FUCK I READ A RULE WRONG. Fixed it and went back through, two questions and I realized I READ ANOTHER RULE WRONG. This shit never happened during prep. I hate that it happened in the real thkng. Fixed them all except one. It was like mod edit: no Grrrrrr , also I don't know if this is okay to say. I hope it is. If not I'm sorry.

IT'S NOT. Read the rules. NO TALKING ABOUT ANSWERS. Bans ensue.

[brusselsprouts]

i bit the inside of my lip on the side kinda very badly during the test and it is very swollen. battle wound i guess

+1. I had the same ordering, had a grandpa question though can't really remember which section. All I know is that last LR was 26 questions (vs 25 for the other two) and apparently that's the experimental?

I just think if that's the case that first LR section was so weird if the first LR was not experimental then I'm screwed

[TetrisBlock]

On the question "What is the meaning of life?" did anyone else get 42?

Your 26 question was experimental. I had 3 LR but all were 25.

[Sofie4400]

I had 3 LRs and two were 25 and one was 26, unless I'm remembering incorrectly or misbubbled (shuddering at the thought).

yeah zac, stop being beta and talking about questions
He is probably too busy hanging out with his Nattys (the cat and drink) to party with you Smalls

[Lillet71]

Damn LR1 was the only section I didn't think went really well

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).

Had this same problem. I read the prompt and rules at least 6. I still have no Idea what the problem was. I only know there was a problem because two answers were perfectly acceptable

[Dr. Nefario]

Always. Idk why.

[jjjddd]

I also thought experimentals always happen before the break.... so experimental wouldn't be section 4 or 5

That changed in 2011

[coramdeo]

I had two sections, trying to remember the details of the real one because I think I bombed experimental, trying to remember if I did ok on the real one.

I think I remember the Sept/Oct/Nov one, but totally drawing a blank on the rest of it . . . anyone remember what the other games were? Thanks.

[Sofie4400]

They said at the beginning that the experimental can happen after the break.

Also, did everyone have a question about two types of snakes, shy vs. bold?
