It's jarring how dead this thread is after being in the December thread!

I feel like I'm the only one who's constantly checking this thing. Lol come on people. Step your obsessiveness up

New curve poll to appease the haters

[spiffy2]

I keep fluctuating between thinking I completely bombed it and did average...

Me too. My mood changes about it every time I think about it

[azaleafire]

Oh I'm checking. I've just been rotating thorogh 7sage, TLS, and Reddit all weekend. Just didn't have anything to post that wasn't redundant until now.

Did y'all think the LR section with 25 questions was harder than the LR with 26 questions?

Also, no way in hell is the curve going to be only 10.
The average is like 11.5 and this was definitely not more than slightly easier than average.

Counting my theoretical scores for each section and giving myself the benefit of the doubt so that I can be happy.

I thought 25 was the easier one. This may be b/c I had it earlier in the test. I think the curve will be -11. Dec and Oct were harder and they were -12 but this one wasn't a -10 easy given the rc.

I agree. I thought that both of the 25s LR weren't that bad, and then when I got to 26 I felt like shit got real real quick lol

You, me, and Abbey felt this way.

I personally believe that it's entirely subjective though.

I took December and thought it should've been more lenient than -12 so I no longer believe there's much of a correlation between perceived difficulty and curve.

Did any of you guys get a survey question asking how comfortable/often you use Tablets and SmartPhones?

Also, "if you do touch screen computing", and "are you comfortable selecting touch screen options?"

Every other LSAT, I get asked which resources I used to prepare, so this one was a real departure. My proctor also mentioned that he was asked by the LSAC if he was comfortable proctoring a touch screen test. Weird.


(I took the Saturday Observer test, and the proctor was really chilled out. I asked him about the weird survey thing once I completed the test)

I'm assuming this survey thing isn't an issue with disclosure, as it was just extraneous weird stuff outside of the test itself.

If there was a survey i didnt do it.

I had experimental LG. I went LG, LG, LR, LR, RC. RC was hard but LR was fair. Having 8 LG in a row makes it all blend together. I know Paris, Madrid was real, and KLG was real, but do not remember what other two were real.

I'm in the same boat. I can't remember for the life of me whether the real one was first or second.

I'm glad I'm not the only one. I remember one with teachers. But I can't remember what the bookstore game was.i don't even know if the teacher one was real.

I had one with teachers! That was in whichever one was experimental.

What about the road sweeping one??

[Jeff62]

Can someone explain the curve to me?
What does -10 equate to?

[TexasENG]

The curve is the number of missed questions to get to a 170. I.e. -10 curve means you can miss 10 and still get a 170

[TexasENG]

I took December and thought it should've been more lenient than -12 so I no longer believe there's much of a correlation between perceived difficulty and curve.

I thought the curve is based on how people did on the sections when they were (more or less) given on earlier tests. But it definitely seems pretty arbitrary. I would always try to guess the curve on my PTs and would only get like 20% right.

[AbbeyS]

The only time I felt perceived difficulty correlated with the curve was PT 71...I felt the LR had an unusual amount of confusing language, which made it pretty hard. I remember thinking during "This has to have a big curve" and it ended up having -14....other than that I've never really noticed the curve being related but idk

It's jarring how dead this thread is after being in the December thread!

I feel like I'm the only one who's constantly checking this thing. Lol come on people. Step your obsessiveness up

Can do!

I kind of appreciate the chill attitude of the Feb testers. Last June everyone was so neurotic it made me neurotic. The entire place turned into a massive blast zone and I was crazy drunk when scores were released. Also, I think going through the whole thing once already helps keep things a little chill.

I was in June waiters! And I'm pretty sure said blast zone started when I tried fighting my way out of lurker status to become accepted by the group haha
