WorldsCollide, the second one was experimental. It's on the OP

How do we know that everyone who had three LR sections had the same L1 and L2 questions? Maybe different tests had different questions in their respective L1 and L2 sections?

Hi, guys. New here.

So, the consensus is that LR3 was experimental?

My test went:

LR
LG
LR
RC
LR

I am panicked, as by the time LR3 rolled around, I was tired and moving slower than I usually do. I guessed on about 5/6 questions completely. This surely cannot be good.

Any moral support/feedback is appreciated

Oops-- I actually meant to write that LR3 looks to be *not* experimental.
Ah, LSATs. Thinking I may need to retake in February. Does anyone know how detrimental this would be in the application process-exactly how a February exam will work in terms of Fall 2015 admission, since results do not come out until March? I would have all other aspects of the application submitted already, waiting only on a new LSAT score.

Thank you all for the responses.

In one LR, i ended up marking 10 As, something tells me that whole section was off, but i couldn't figure out what other answers worked well with any of those choices i saw.

In one LR section I had like 8 Es and Ds in a row. Freaked me out. But they made sense.

for those who guessed blindly, I read an LSATblog article that said D was statistically the best answer choice to guess on.

[hatemyself]

Alright then, is there anyone with anecdotal stories of not being completely fucked from guessing? The four I had to guess one, on top of not feeling completely there today, really concern me.

I took a practice test and completely guessed on an entire game and got all of them right. I did random blank filling on the preptest where I got them all right, while on the test today I just filled all in the same answer because I was so frustrated. Guessing on 4 isn't a huge deal either way I don't think. Obviously it's not good that it happened, but it won't tremendously affect your score. I think -4 is still like a 178, right? The most it could possibly change your score would be by 4 points, but more likely it would be by 1-3. I wouldn't worry about it. Also, don't hate yourself. Try meditation.[/quote]

It's just that I have done so well on my preptests, and feel I honestly don't deserve the scores I have gotten on test days. The first time, I burnt myself out from too much studying, and I went into this one getting 180s on most of my recent tests. I finish logic games with so much time that sometimes I have extra time left after extensive review. This week was one of the worst of my life, but I was hoping one recovery on Friday would be enough. To do this after so much work, and on a game that people are saying wasn't even abnormally difficult, is so insanely frustrating. I have everything else in line for HYS, and I honestly went into my first test expecting my LSAT to be my greatest asset in my applications. To feel that taking the test on any other day would have given me 5 more points is enough to seriously cripple me.

was the dinosaur neck one a real section? and the one about parents singing to their children?

and apparently I cant even quote correctly

Reddit is apparently shitting itself because discussing question specifics is not allowed. TLS is so much better.

Good luck waiters! Stay classy.

Grey! I'm so glad you're here. Loving the old school avatar with added Christmas cheer. (yes intentional rhyme)

If you don't me asking, are your numbers a lot better than mine or do you think I have a chance as well? I suppose there is a good amount of chance involved so I definitely will try for Georgia and Florida since I would like to go to either, but at $40,000 a year I think I would have too much debt to be reasonable.

[WorldsCollide]

Hey worldscollide, I haven't seen you around in awhile. Welcome back!

Thanks Dirigo! I had to take time off of TLS... you overachievers were making me nervous and I was under-prepping (and, honestly, lowered my aim considerably )

Thanks for letting me know which was the experimental! LR1 was my best LR and LR3 was my worst. So I don't know how that's going to translate

How did it go Dirigo? Where are you aiming?

[cavalier2015]

there was another question regarding something about artists and rarity. and something about labotory rats and being unhealthy/healthy. any confirmations?

Your GPA is marginally better than mine.

I just want to remind everyone i'm pretty sure people were going through this in the September waiters from what I remember (i.e. thinking that some had differences in test). There is no way you could remember everything from the exam guys everyone had the same sections/questions just differences in presentation as it has always been.

Don't freak out. One of us is wrong and we don't know anything about one another. Also, even if I am right it is quite possible that it in the intense moment you did not notice that your answer sheet looked kinda weird.

I remember the former vaguely, and remember having the latter

[WorldsCollide]

You know what's depressing? Having a 4.10+ GPA and knowing it doesn't matter one bit because of the LSAT.

Dirigo... same here for that last LR. And I focused so much on LG... I hate that I didn't have time to properly solve the last game ;(
You're set on not applying this cycle, then?

Are you feeling better about this go at it than September?

I'm expecting about the same for RC and the same for LG (which is insane considering how much time I spent on prepping for LG and how I got a tutor to work with me exclusively on RC...)
LR last time was a complete blur. Kind of like "Who knows? This might be wrong and this might be right." This time, at least on LR1 and LR2, most of the questions I was fairly confident on. The last LR though... I'm honestly expecting somewhere along the same score if my September LG and RC really do equal my December LG and RC.

NOW WHERE'S MY L'EAU DE HANS PURPLE DOVES IN ORCHARD TREES "STEALING THUNDER" WHILE WAVING MEXICAN FLAGS CREST??!!!!

exerting "free will" by mourning on multi-colored rugs.

The real question is, are asteroids rotating once per three hours involved? (still not sure if that LR is exp, can't tell even with the OP info)
