For those who did not have an LR experimental - did you have an LR section that had multiple questions per stimulus? Kind of like in the older preptests?

Yes. I had. I'm pretty sure it's experimental

Wow, they're coming back? I wonder if we'll see any of those types in Feb

I hope so. Those were so much better for time.

For the record, I am really glad the LR section I was hoping was experimental really is. I remember a question about Marx and recent political theorists, and thinking how frustrating that question was.

What are the chances of getting a 162+ after blowing that logic games badly?

Uhh you tell us. It would depend on how you do in the other sections.

I felt pretty good about the other sections but you never really know with RC. My experimental was easier but the real one wasn't difficult either. One of the LR was quite easy, while the other had many difficult questions that I arrived at the correct answer to through a process of elimination. It was logic games that truly screwed me up because usually I'm around -1/-2 and got -2 in September. This time, I took so long in the rugs game 3, that I had no time for game 4 and essentially guessed on like 5 questions. I'm hoping to God I got a 162+ atleast as that is good enough to get me into my dream schools (in Canada).

I bombed the real LG big-time in September (-13 I think) and still scored a 161. Oh what could have been if the experimental LG was real...

Guessing on 5 on LG is hardly the end of the world, as long as you're sure about the other 18. In fact, we might have the same LG score this time. I'm more worried about RC. I don't feel confident about any of my answers for Mexican-American essay. I could be -6 on just that essay...

They had those in the experimental LR for 72 and 73 as well.

Are people trying to predict their score range yet? I've been going through scenarios in my head ever since I left the TC lol.
Optimistic: -3 LG, -3 LR, -3 RC
Pessimistic: -5 LG, -6 LR, -6 RC
Realistic: -4 LG, -4 LR, -4/5 RC

Damn logic games...

[cavalier2015]

does anyone remember a greek column question on the real LR section?

[Freekee]

Anyone have insight into the last half of the third game ( the rug game??) If so, pm me pls.

[Freekee]

does anyone remember a greek column question on the real LR section?

yeah, I think the consensus was that that was in the first LR section

That's what I remember too. I had a hard time with that question.

[DivineJustice]

I thought my answer to the greek column question was straightforward, but now I'm second guessing myself there

[portmanteaux]

wish we could talk about content already!!

Damn logic games...

Optimistic: -0 LG, -4 LR, -3 RC (If I performed all of my personal bests)
Pessimistic: -3 LG, -12 LR, -7RC (If I missed every question I wasn't 100% completely sure on)
Realistic: -1LG, -7/8 LR, -4/5 RC (How I actually think I did)

Reallllyyyyy hoping for a -13 curve and that my realistic is actually realistic!

anybody have the LR question regarding a girl buying a vase and that it either had to be authentic or value or something?

I spent most of today coming up with various score scenarios:

Optimistic: -0 LG, -7 LR, -4 RC (If I performed all of my personal bests)
Pessimistic: -3 LG, -11 LR, -6 RC (If I missed every question I wasn't 100% completely sure on)
Realistic: -2 LG, -9 LR, -3 RC (How I actually think I did)

Is anyone else experiencing LSAT withdrawal? I never thought I'd feel this way, but I've been experiencing the strange urge to try my hand at a couple LG or LR Qs.

Yeah, I remember that one. I didn't have an experimental LR.

Did anyone else notice that the instructions for the writing section changed? Seems there is no penalty for choosing not to write- they just said something along the lines of "even if you do not write, it will still be sent to law schools."

Oh, and im feeling less confident about the test than i did yesterday... The mention of Greek columns in the board made me realize i mightve done something wrong

[keepsmiling1230]

feel so nervous........

I got 2 RC, the first RC is super easy. the second RC is relatively standard compared to all the PT I have done.

LG is easy, but I literally filled in the last bubble when my watch told me I only got 1 minuet left.

LRs are pretty standard.

fingers crossed...

The more I think about this test, the more I think a retake is in order. Sad thing is that I want to be considered for this cycle.

was this a retake or a first time attempt?

Retake. Took December 2013 but didn't perform ideally.
