I'm in the same boat as many of you with regard to the 4th game (i.e. I think it was worded ambiguously), and have just e-mailed and snail mailed my challenge letter. To those of you who sent yours earlier (or later for that matter):
Have you gotten any type of a response? Are you expecting one before scores are released?
Please keep us posted with updates to challenges in this thread.

I hear LSAC responds faster to smoke signals.

I am sick of this thread and threads related to the game.

I'm just waiting for the DF tells you whether or not you should challenge an LSAT question thread.

If you haven't written to LSAC, then you don't need to update us here.
P.S.
6/10- Written Letter and E-mail Sent

I sent an email yesterday afternoon, but haven't heard anything back... i'm wondering if i should also send a hard-copy also (?), but accordiing to the LSAC webpage, the email should be good enough
ive got a feeling that we'll get a generic letter next week politely telling us to f%&k off. I doubt antyhing significant is going to happen, but I'm hoping maybe they'll offer an opportunity to retest or somethign without this score or cancellation going on my record

Gold. I think we can get this one to 20 pages.

There's already an 18 (and counting) page thread where you are welcome to do that. This is just to help those of us who have already decided to challenge keep track of the results.

I am not challenging but I can see the ambiguity. Good luck to those challenging. Although I don't think they'll change the test if you're lucky they might refund your money.

Haven't yet. But will before the week is up. Keep up the good fight brothers!
btw such letters might effect curve even if alittle so all you smart people who do not have problems interpreting english could benefit too unless you are sure you haven't missed a quesiton. so stop hating and back us up.

Good idea. I plan to write something, but haven't yet. I'll update, and I appreciate that others will too.

I wrote in yesterday evening. In the meantime I have to cancel, 4-6 wrong is too big a swing at the top of the scale. Based on my previous score, 167, I can only equal or beat it by a point with a slightly generous curve.
I encourage everyone who was tripped up to write in. My feeling is this is a different sort of error than writing the rule's logic incorrectly (a->b vs b->a) more like (a->b vs c->d) The items in a relationship should not be in doubt.
I admit this is all based on memory and there could be a clarifying remark somewhere earlier in the question. As someone currently in software, that rule, as written, would be considered a bad specification.

can everyone who plans to use either "effect" or "affect" in a sentence please consult a dictionary before typing so (s)he no longer sounds like an idiot? thanks.

There would be more pictures for entertainment value, at least.

I hate to say this but LSAC will probably not give a damn.
They meant to fuck people over with that question..here's to hopes that there is a somewhat generous curve though!

DF says learn English. I barely speak it and I could understand the LSAT well enough.

Agree that they meant to fuck people over. LSAC is devious.
