-11 Curve, September 2017 Waiter's Thread Forum

"Are you comfortable writing long, multi-page essays on a digital device"

As their MCs before the certifying statement instead of the typical "how did you prepare?" It seems to be an indication that this test could be about to go digital, and given that last question, maybe even change format? (Essays instead of MC?)

That has to be in reference to the writing sample. I don't see how it could be about anything else.

I really thought cuddlefishing would take the cake

I actually don't remember any question about a cuttlefish and now I'm questioning my whole test experience/memory

[velyvely]

Does anyone know if the September curve will be released the same day of score release? And when the test itself gets released for sale?

Im pretty salty that on the June 2017 LSAT. I got 25/27 questions right for RC and the games were relatively easy in June. AND Then in september i guessed all my answers for the final 2 passages. My score can either go amazing or real really bad october. I am over this

*goes to write an out of this world PS and researches about the GRE*

This is where I am. I missed 2 on RC in June and I'm pretty sure I missed 12 on this RC.

But who knows! We all thought we bombed that inference passage.

I'm like 99% sure this RC will be lowest ever.

I thought the second one was easy but for some reason I thought the rest were hard.. Didn't even get to finish the fourth passage... I low key freaked tho

By you didnt finish do you mean you guessed and bubbled in something or do you mean you literally didnt bubble ? I am in the former bc I couldnt bare dealing with the latter of leaving blank answers *cringe

Ook haha then you arent that fucked. It may have gone well as said before maybe we all are just freaking out ( i doubt it tho) ?


Side note: does anyone remember how many questions were for judges/candor and in Freud/marx? I want to determine how many RC i could have gotten wrong?

The 4 passages went, in terms of the number of questions per passage, 6-7-8-6.

It definitely had 8. I remember because I always do the longest one first and I started with it and thus fucked myself for the other passages

...same... I'm usually pretty good with remembering prompt topics and such too.

I'm pretty sure it was 7-6-8-6. Didn't the first passage have 7 questions?

[Lxwind]

Am I the only one who feel that the first 2 passages weren't that easy ?

Me too what is this cuttlefish others speak of

[Lalalsat96]

No they were not easy but they werent hard exactly. The topics were a bit dry and thats coming from someone who likes RC because its like read fun little articles about something new. The first 2 were fine i guess judges just ate up so much time and then that made the last passage seem harder since, at least for me, i was short on time. There were no "easy" passages for me where i knew i got all the questions right but the first 2 were doable by LSAT standards imo

I have really weird feelings about the RC section...the first passage took me 9 minutes, and I was highly uncertain about around 2 questions, then the second passage I wasn't sure about my answers either. When I finished the two 15 minutes passed, which seemed fine time-wise. I don't feel the judges passage was that awful, I only circled one question as highly uncertain(couldn't find support for any of the answers, had to guess), went to Marx with 8~9 minutes left, finished it in 6~7 minutes feeling pretty confident about that one.. Then I spent the last 1~2 minutes on the question I circled under Judges, still couldn't find the support, completely wasted the time and didn't change a thing. Now I feel I should've spent my last minute on either of the first two passages, since I may have left some points on table. If I could just take a look at the passage again and check my uncertain answers...UGH IDK, the entire section just felt difficult. But I'm not good at RC so who knows ╮(╯_╰)╭

Taking new poll ideas. Otherwise we're stuck w/ whatever my drunk mind comes up with in the next hour

Possible. I may have gotten the first two confused but like you say the last two were definitely 8 and 6.

[creed]

Judges had 8 but if I remember correctly like 4 of them were pretty straightforward weren't they? Unless my memory is more comforting than it should be lol

[Barry grandpapy]

NEW POLL

There were straightforward ones but they ate up a lot of time for me. Usually RC is easier for me... idek i just want my score atm

Oh thank god, this way I can go back to assuming people who don't find me funny are just missing something.
