My phone. 32 times already today and counting
Approximately how many did you get in June on dday?
Not nearly that many but Oct is a bigger volume test.
True.
I know off thread but Harvard/Penn won't differentiate between a second vs third retaker, right? Obviously assuming score is high enough.
I don't quite understand the question suffice to answer that they will only care about your highest score, correct.

UGHHHHHHHHHH

RC LR LR LG LR

First three sections I'm feeling good. I got this. I have time leftover to check my answers. I'm confident. Yeah that negative evidence one was weird but whatever. I had the elephant too.

Break time. Fourth section.

You'd think I've never seen a MF'ing LG before in my entire liiiiiiife. With the photographers, student work shifts, etc. Seriously like I haven't spent the past 4 months feeling great about LG. And the worst part was that I didn't feel like they were objectively sadistic, I just didn't get it. Or at least I don't think I did. Jesus what fresh hell is this?

Last LR went ok I think but at that point there was no putting the wind back into my sails. About to spend the next 25 days as chemically altered as possible.

Whoops. Not grade A staff at JFK today... I considered complaining just to add my voice, but I don't feel I actually suffered. Is there any real incentive to say something?

Everything felt decent except LG#3. Kind of had to speed up at the end of RC.

Sounds like curve will be closer to 10 than 12...

Time to do the apps blind. I wish they'd drop october 2010 testing...

Sounds inconvenient but also doesn't sound like they did anything wrong...so not sure what you would complain about.

are you referring to the JFK University? it seems they had very crowded room with many people on a single desk.

So the LG with board of directors wasn't real, right? Sweet baby jeebus.I hit that game with 15 minutes and could not set it up properly for the life of me.

There's no way I'm ever gonna get that lucky on another take.

I feel the same, although I didn't get quite the set up I would have liked. Felt great leaving the test, and still feel great drunk hours later.

Love it! I loved my room and set up, too. What was the order of your sections?

ETA except for boy nervously jiggling legs against table for entire test

RC
LR - Pretty sure was experimental.
LR
LG
LR

test was administered in a lecture hall and had to support test booklet with my hand or knee or put answer sheet under booklet. Very uncomfortable situation, not what I envisioned at all.

Which is exactly what I had said I'd wanted in the "what order do you want your sections to be in thread" yesterday. Thought I was being punk'd for a minute.

Even if someone had been a leg tapper, I wouldn't have noticed. It was a lecture room made to fit I'd guess about 80 people (I've even had a class in that room before so I was familiar with it) and there were only about a dozen of us so we had plenty of room to ourselves.

Leg bouncer here. Sorry folks. I can't sit still.

Actively tried not do this today, though.

I had:
LR 26 (dont remember much..)
LR 26 (temperature from trapped bubbles- 1st or 2nd q)
RC (popper)
LR 25 (dont remember much..this was real obviously)
LG (photographers)

My question is which LR is experimental among the first two sections. Does anyone remember the bubbles question?

Thanks in advance!

Do not remember bubbles at all

Did you have 26Q's for both the first two LR's?

Less obsessing, more shitposting folks.

I honestly don't remember. I just remember getting 10 questions into the 1st LR and feeling completely hopeless - and then feeling really confident after the other two LR sections.

I've laid off lifting for the past few weeks. It's been crazy with the LSAT and my kid teething. I'm starting back up Monday. I'm ready for some SQUATS.

Same. I felt like I absolutely bombed my first section which was LR.
do you think you actually bombed it? How was your timing and stuff?

I just feel sketchy about it. I'm not sure what really happened. Sometimes I felt like I bombed and didn't. Sometimes I actually did bomb though.
I had to guess on the last one. I just started off poorly, second-guessing my answers on early questions in the first 10. Only selected 3 different letter answers for the first 10 or so which added to my uneasiness.

I swear, I thought I was the only one. I was second guessing myself for the first 10 and the rest is just a blur. Plus, I had a bunch of same letter responses too. Hopefully that means we were right. Or were both idiots. But I mean, it's starting to look up lol
