Just got out of the test, and this cat is feelin' froggy! Overall, I'd say it was a pretty standard test, no more than -12 curve (that's not to say that I did really well or anything).

LG--easy af, whole thing was fuckin' simple. loved game three and four
LR--standard shit
RC--easy
LR--didn't love it, wasn't ridiculously difficult,though
RC--thought it was pretty tough, perfume passage was funny, though

I think im gonna guess -13

I still don't get how the curve works.

Yeah I was cracking up. Probably the favorite RC passage I've ever done.

I definitely missed something important....fuck. lol what was funny about it?

LG1: Holy shit. Literally a row where I guessed "D". Didn't even understand how to set that up. Like almost debated canceling right there after the first section.

LR1: Not bad, finished in time, couple guesses but really not bad.

LG2: Way more like it (for me). Some would've said "easy" (relatively speaking it was) but I still had a couple issues with one of the games. Ended up guessing on a couple questions on that game and the last question on the 3rd game for time. Night and day difference between this and LG1 though.

LR2: Lil worse than LR1. I think this was the han purple I believe? Seriously wtf with that question. It wasn't too highly numbered so I didn't think it would be a "hard" or "curve breaker question" I'm still like wtf lol. Guessed on more LR here than in the other section.

RC: not easy but not terrible. Also only had about 5 mins for the last passage on Mexico after the A/B passage so had to do a couple guesses there.

Which LG was experimental? Hoping it's the first one.

Same. I got to that passage and read olfactory and perfume and I snorted and I'm like "REALLY test writers?!?! Okay...really lol"

Also really kind of annoyed that I didn't get to fully develop/flush out my essay like I wanted to. Still decent length and argued almost everything I wanted to argue (sure I'll concede that this may definitely be a relevant factor, but here's why you should still pick A instead of B) ....I know it's not scored but still....I was on a roll with that! haha

I would have been confident about my performance, if it weren't for fucking LG. I had to guess blindly on half the questions from the 4th game since I spent so much time on 3 due to me being an idiot and adding another variable before catching myself. Because it's December I'd say -13. None of the other sections were memorably difficult.

Yeah I had to guess a bit on that fourth game bc of lack of time :/

How do I know which LG was my experimental and which wasn't?

yeah, I would have preferred something like 72 with 3 simple games and 1 extreme. BUT we did all we could and we're done with this test now. no more worrying!

it's time to stress out about the PS now lol

LR- easy
LG- waaaay easy. I guess the last one may have kinda hard, but I had so much time that it didn't really faze me
LR- exp. and felt like it
RC- thought it was fairly dense but the questions weren't especially difficult. I still felt kinda shaky though
LR- mostly standard but a couple weird questions that I wasn't thrilled about

Overall felt like the same level of difficulty as Sept. so I'm guessing -12

this is my exact sentiment. thought i was cruising on LG and then game 4 completely effed me. guessed on at least 3. other sections not too bad.

Was the hans purple and white glass question in the same section as the question about ancient column construction?

how badly did you freeze up on games?

LR
LG

RC
LR

I don't know I feel right now. Some things were crazy easy and other things suuuucked. we shall see!

Joseph · Post by **Joseph** » Sat Dec 06, 2014 3:07 pm

Did anyone else get this crazy hard (not actually that bad) LR section with a pharmaceutical company and their claim about melatonin? I think there was a question about two different species of fish and how they scrap algae too. I'm hoping that was my experimental

believeland · Post by **believeland** » Sat Dec 06, 2014 3:08 pm

LG (rugs, etc - legit?)
LR
LG (recorded artists, etc - exp?)
LR
RC

First LG felt fine until the last game. I somehow ran out of time and had to guess on a question or two - disappointing because I didn't even think the games were that tough. I think I just wasn't in the zone.

LR felt more difficult than I expected.

RC felt about average.

Am I missing something? Did anyone else find that rug game hard??
