June 2017 Waiters Thread- Grayday! -9 curve. GL all Forum

[tuna_wasabi]

Easiest LG section ever.
RC was difficult but not impossible.
26Q LR section was pretty normal.
25Q LR section was quite difficult (assuming the section with heavy isotopes was real)

Yep heavy isotopes was real, and a real pain in the ass. Think I got that one right but after soooo much time.

This question and the chimps were both really easy to me. The more I read these boards, the more I'm confused by my own LSAT skillz.

I'm calling a -9 curve.

Please no I left 2 blanks, so that automatically left me at, what, 178 or even less? Plus those RC + LR.

Reading at how many find the LR easy makes me really want to cancel my score (not sure how the adcom will perceive it but whatever). Personally I find the 25Q one pretty hard.

Oh I had to tell my proctors to shut up during LG. They were like nice about it and understood but it's still annoying. They had never proctored before and were really confused in procedure

SAVAGE haha

I prob would've done the same tbh, but I would've lost my shit if they were talking during RC. I need my full concentration for RC.

TBH I should've told em sooner. I was right in front so it was like I was in on the convo lol

[Slippin' Jimmy]

Actually feeling better today then I did yesterday about my score. But still, anywhere between 167-173 wouldn't surprise me at all.

[Experiment626]

Retweet. But I'm legit about to google Dowsing because there's no way that shit's real. JUST WAVING BRANCHES? TO FIND WATER? WTF?

Edit: Not sure if discussing history related to a RC topic is OK and apparently I have a warning I didn't see before responding so not risking it....

There was a proctor sitting like three feet away from me drawing pictures on a piece of paper and she was bearing down really hard and it was SO obnoxious and distracting. I think she heard me complain about it to my friend during the break because when we came back she had stopped. Also she and another proctor were passing notes like they were school kids...

Recent lurker and first time poster! I took the test yesterday and have been reading all of your responses, extremely entertaining stuff.

I'm curious to hear what you guys think of my particular situation. My last practice test scored a 169 (I'm shooting for at least a 165) with an 80% RC 80% LR and 96% LG distribution. The games are by far my best section, I rarely if ever have gotten below 90% so in some senses this is where I make up a lot of my points. I know for certain I had to random guess on 4 RC questions before time went out, and did not feel comfortable with the answers I put prior to that point (god damn you inferential thinking!!). My first LR I have no idea what to expect because the first 4 minutes of the section there was chaos going on between my proctor and one of the ladies outside trying to sort out someones testing situation (I had to skip 3 of the first 10 questions but finished with enough time to come back and complete). My last LR section which definitely seemed to have counted (god damn you isotopes!!) I felt very burnt in the middle of and can't really gauge. Games I have no issue with. What should I expect? A low 160? maybe a 165? High 150's?

Assuming you go -0 on games (which you should have - LG is my weak link and I'm pretty sure I went perfect), and assuming the curve is -10/11 (the general consensus), you would need to get no more than -17/18 wrong, respectively, to get a 165. (source:https://www.powerscore.com/lsat/help/co ... rgeted.cfm Do you think you got that many wrong between the two LRs and RC? For a 160 you would need to get no more than 27 or 28 wrong among those three (again, look at the link). I find it hard to believe that anyone scoring high 160s on PTs could get 28 wrong across three sections, so I think it's a safe bet that you scored higher than 160.

I'm pretty confident about LR and first 3 sections of RC. Don't think I got any wrong on first 3 RC passages and at least one of the LR sections. The last logic game, although very easy, had some looseness on a question or two that I found strange since I'm pretty confident all my rules and setup were correct. Similarly, one or two of the last RC questions gave me a little trouble. Other than that, I feel pretty good about it. Thankfully, the LR section I felt least confident about ended up being experimental.

You had more trouble with the dowsing passage than the inferring thoughts passage? I find that fascinating.

Weird. I thought the comparative section was the easiest of the 4, followed by dowsing. Makes me wonder if I just missed a bunch of Q's

No, the judges. I think that we got different orders for RC.

I actually think that inferring thoughts was pretty okay.

I thought this too. The comparative passage for me was the hardest.

Retweet. But I'm legit about to google Dowsing because there's no way that shit's real. JUST WAVING BRANCHES? TO FIND WATER? WTF?

Oops. Apparently my addition to this didn't get actually posted. I find it super strange that y'all thought the comparative section was difficult.

For me, that was the easiest passage followed closely by the dowsing passage. Had a hard time with inferential thoughts, and jazz seemed like a fairly straightforward arts passage

My proctors were awesome. The lady acted like as if she did this for a living. Going back to Towson for September no doubt.

*walks self off ledge*

hahahah thank you!! That was the best possible response I could've asked for. I'm still going to prepare for September just in case - trying to gauge those LR sections, way to tough to tell between the burnout and the chaos

Yep the comparative was pretty easy, it just had one difficult question. Jazz and Dowsing were also pretty simple and both had straightforward questions, but Dowsing took me a minute to realize that they were really talking about people finding water with sticks.

My ticket picture was actually one of the best photos I've ever taken. So, to look like Admission Ticket Duchess, I had to wake up early to fully do my hair and makeup.

I probably looked like such a jerk.

[heyduchess]

Me to coworker: Hey, do you know what dowsing is?
Coworker: Yeah. Doesn't everybody?

[Amerision]

Went from feeling hella confident yesterday to feeling like I probably need to retake today.

Wtf. Also, my admissions photo is me being handsome af, no lie.

[Mint-Berry_Crunch]

There's a lot of bragging about good looking admissions tickets and no follow through here
