Does anyone know which one was the running elephants??

I don't remember, but I *think* LR1 had a question about a gold mine / Asian artifacts?

Pretty sure the last one was the running elephants

I'm at a birthday party for two of my baby cousins and I'm falling asleep. I'm only awake for the food.

Can't wait for Brooklyn Chocolate Stout. One of my favorite releases of the year. I'm having a Stone Enjoy By 10-31-15. Super dank and fresh.

Hmm I think I remember Gold Mine but not sure which section it was in...gahh this is the problem with 3 LRs...haha
Did you have the one with Newspapers trying to justify when to publish something?

I had the newspaper one on a LR, LR, RC, LR, LG test. Pretty certain it was real.

[DJKRD92]

Having a mini heart attack because everyone is saying one of the LRs was 26 questions...but I only remember 25 (although I didn't really check).

Maybe I misbubbled..oh god why.

[flash21]

Did the last RC passage have a lot of questions? I can't remember. I think it had like 7.. am I wrong?

one of the LR is definitely 26 questions...source: didn't have LR experimental

Ohhh, wait but you had the LR experimental too. Is it possible for me to be RC LR LR LG LR and you to be LR LR RC LR LG but still have the same experimental? What if we had the same three LRs but in different order? Is that possible?

I found LG to be much harder than that of a typical LSAT. Maybe I was missing something here, but I usually finish the LG section with 5-10 minutes to spare, both in PTs and for real in June. I finished this LG section with only two minutes to spare, then went back and realized that I missed a rules question. I would be very surprised if I missed any questions, but it felt much harder than usual.

The biggest surprise was RC. I thought it was surprisingly easy. Usually, I am seriously cramped for time and rushing during my PTs, barely finishing before the buzzer is called. The same thing happened during the June test. Here, I blew through the Schoenberg passage in 6 minutes, and finished with a few minutes to spare, without rushing. I usually miss 3 or 4 questions on RC (three on the June test). I would be very surprised if I missed more than two questions on this test. I am guessing one miss, and would not be surprised if I scored perfectly.

The LR sections were both about average I thought, neither seemed easier than the other. I didn't have as much time as I would have like to check answers on either section. I am expecting a total of -2/-3 from both sections combined.

Overall, I am predicting -3 or -4 for the test. With the worst curve in history, and a -4, that puts me at a 175, but I think that this test was overall average-hard, putting me at a 177-179. I hope my predictions are right!

I am also completely convinced that LR#2, question #24 did not have a valid answer. It was necessary assumption question. I don't know how in detail I can go about the question and answer choices, but I think I am going to throw the challenge flag at LSAC.

What was the topic of that question? Try to get us to remember it without breaking the rules

The question was about introductory science courses being "proving" courses

Hmmm I think that question was okay. Idk how to explain it in a TLS-friendly way though and I don't want to get banned.

I remember that question, I was between 2 answers at the end of the section. There was a correct answer, I believe.

So as you can see by my username, RC once again made me its bitch. Fantastic.

Running elephants was the second one I had. 25 Qs

Omg I'm already annoyed that I don't know my score. Idk how I'm going to wait 3 weeks

You're right. *sigh*

Preach. I wish we could know just how many we got correct and then scores later. Or maybe not, might make us go even more crazy

The answer is drinking. You're still in school, right? Find a party and have fun.

I have 3 LRs, but I did not have a two question stem question. West coast test taker. Could there have been different experimental LRs? Someone on Reddit mentioned a Dinosaur and pizza at home question, and I didn't have those either.

same. 3 LR's and no two question stems.

Yeah there were definitely at least two versions with 3LRs one with two 25s and a 26, one with two 26s and a 25.... I don't remember a question with dinosaurs and pizza so that may be experimental

[flash21]

so do we all agree the first 3 RC passages weren't very hard? But damn I really had trouble with the last one.

The last RC passage killed me. I honestly couldn't wrap my head around it in the ~8 minutes I had left.

I concur. I understood what was going on with them both, but some of the answer choices were ambiguous. I mostly used eliminated for all of the questions rather than relying on the passage too heavily.

Was that the "negative evidence" one?

People, I am somewhat behind on this thread (because I have a life and went to the movies and out to lunch), but you are NOT allowed to talk about what TYPES questions were (necessary/sufficient, main assumption, whatever). Thanks.

the issue is that LSAC monitors these discussions and gets cranky and threatens to do bad things to TLS, so please don't blame the messenger
