February 2012 Waiting Thread (NEW POLL!!!1!) Forum

That question was in my first LR, which was also my first section. Since I only had two LRs, it was not experimental.

I think that would be the first time in history they used identical stems, it would mean whichever section included that question was ABSOLUTELY the experimental.

Having that said, I wouldn't put it past LSAC to shake it up a bit.

[barrotmartin]

Yeah do people remember what section that question was in? If it was in the experimental then all bets are off and both groups could be correct here.

Section 4 for me.

I'm pretty sure mine was section 4 too. Also call it what you will, but even with all these months spent learning the LSAT I still feel like calling my score would somehow jinx it. That's where my rationality ends apparently.

I think my discomfort about it comes from telling myself I did poorly so that I can manage my expectations, while also telling myself I only missed a few questions. Choosing a number would make me abandon my contradiction :\

well there are already multiple people with 2 LG sections saying their LG section is different from the people have only one LG section. Again Feb is undisclosed, we just don't know what is going on in this black box. In the end, we got is just a raw score and percentile, we don't even will know the curve.

Yeah not going to lie I'm pretty suspect of those claims too.

Does any1 remember if the LR question regarding . . .

There's a post in the sticky about how we don't allow this sort of thing, for future reference. Accordingly, I am banning some people. And by some people, I mean a lot of people.

I left everyone I banned with the ability to view the forums. I will be checking back in, and if I see that any of you have made alternate accounts to get around the ban I will do what I can to take that away from you.

1. I thought the LR sections weren't too difficult. Okay.
2. What answers did you all get for the coffee growers question? Ban.
3. I got A. Ban.
4. That's weird, I thought it was either B or D. Ban.
5. But it was a parallel reasoning problem. Ban.
6. Damn it, I knew I should have picked B. Ban.
7. Hold on guys, I think the mods might get upset if we keep this up. Never a good sign.
8. Let's trick them by disguising what we're saying. So, hypothetically, if I were a coffee grower..... Ban.
9. You would be displeased with government regulation of pesticides. Ban.
10. But not price controls. Ban.
11. Is that because, hypothetically, price controls would raise prices and revenue? Ban.
12. It's just a cost problem in general. If you were a coffee grower, the legal pesticides would, hypothetically, cost more. Ban.
13. Whoa, it's just like Question 13 from the second LR section in PT 39. Ban.
14. Guys, maybe we should create a chatroom to discuss this. I started one: tinychat.com/letscheatontheLSAT Ban.
15. If you guys could PM me about this, that'd be great. Ban.

how much longer until you guys start checking your emails/lsac nonstop?

[yesman2380]

how much longer until you guys start checking your emails/lsac nonstop?

i've been doing this + checking tls forums (for no particular reason, really) ever since i took the test.

[PrincetonBound]

We're almost in the single digits of days left to wait!

[fatpeopleavenger]

Not going crazy here. I check my email twice a day and LSAC email is never on my mind when I log into my email account (so that's a good thing). I haven't touched the lsac website in awhile.

Seems like I'm the only person here who's not going crazy.

[BuckinghamB]

That makes two of us

[wakka!]

I just want to hop into one of these




and find out my score nao

[beebela]

We're almost in the single digits of days left to wait!

I'm hoping a 3/2 release date means we already are!
But you're probably right...

[piscola]

I think we'll have to agree to disagree unless someone can explicitly prove those claims.

This statement isn't proof, but I definitely remember that with the older tests. I noticed it when I downloaded the chart of LR questions classified by type- I'd see the same question for different types, occasionally three times. So it wasn't just the questions that used one stem to ask two consecutive questions.

[piscola]

Also, was doing pretty well waiting until I just got waitlisted at Michigan. NEED SCORE NOW

Anyone knows if they will break their usual waitlist acceptance cycle if you score fairly better than your last test?

[Ronburgandy2468]

Well there's a chance that it will release on the 3rd.
It has happened before- Saturday releases.

[maxmartin]

I am out LOL I was actually asking people not to discuss, and during the process I was also banned

[bernaldiaz]

Yeah at first I was saying not to talk about it but it got pretty rampant in this thread I stopped caring and just joined in I figured the mods would have caught it a week ago if they were going to enforce it. Oh well, learned my lesson.

[maxmartin]

less than 10 days, the end is almost here

[bernaldiaz]

less than 10 days, the end is almost here

Meh not really. We've only been waiting 13 days. It could be another twelve. So we are past the half-way point but I wouldn't say almost there yet. (when you start thinking that way then the wait feels longer. I just keep thinking it's miles off in my mind and then it sneaks up on me. That's my strategy for ends of semesters, vacations, holidays, etc. It works pretty well.)

Nah. It will be the 2nd or 5th. We're actually getting really close. I'm excited
