I did not have any koala related questions.
Confirms my last LR was fake. My first section was easy tho so I can't complain about the second harder one :-(

I think the RC was noticeably hard, which I think will be factored into curve. It's just harder to determine than if there was a hard LG. I think 10/11. There were 101 questions

The time on the clock shouldn't matter. You just need to know what time you start so you can keep track of time. Even if you started at 9:17, it didn't matter if it was 1:00 pm. If you start RC or Games at 9:17 at 9:26 it's been 9 minutes and you should have moved on to the next passage/games. If it were LR by 9:27 you should be on question 10.

I'm with you. I had reading last, so I was tired. And the lighting in my test room was really soft and made me sleepy. The other 2 passages weren't bad. The last one actually took me only like 4 minutes total to read the passage and do all the questions. But the Arts one was sooo boring and didn't seem that well written. And it had a couple really tough questions. Tokens wasn't as bad, but still tougher than average. There were 2 or 3 questions that I had to almost straight up guess between the answer choices I narrowed it down to.

I think the RC was definitely a tougher than average section. I'm really hoping I did better than I think because right now it's kind of a crap shoot. I probably got between 2 and 7 wrong. I hate how it's so hard for me to predict my RC score.

IMO, the LG was a tad better than average and pretty straightforward. While it wasn't too tough, it was a little long and for that reason I don't think it was that easy.

Also, I think we are not very representative of the general LSAT taker. Since most of us prepared a ton, the games we saw today were familiar and not bad to us. But for someone who didn't study much, the games today are just as confusing as odd games are to us.

I'd say the curve will probably be -12. The LR seemed average difficulty, LG slightly easier than usual, but definitely offset by RC.

Tokens was brutal for me. CFC's and judicial nullification I feel god about.

Babblers questions seemed pretty simple to me which makes me feel like I got it wrong if everyone is saying it's hard.

I actually tend to set mine for :25 and let it count down, and then I know the games are up when the hand is at 12. Just easier for me than looking for the :35.

I think all of the sections were pretty average difficulty.

One LR was slightly a bit harder than the other.

Passage 3 was offset by Passage 4 which was quite easy and short.

Los weren't too hard, and G4 was also kinda easy and short.

Im probably fucked anyways because i guessed on 5 LG questions.

The curve probably won't be too generous either.

Once you get it, it makes sense.

I think I chose A or B for babblers. I believe it was B though. Then again I think I got it wrong so, shit.

Does anyone who had 2 LR sections remember a question about "textese" (language used in texting) where it was compared to Morse code?

I didn't have a textese or morse code question so that was probably experimental.
