haven't done 60 or 61 yet, but the dino game is the hardest that I've done since the 30s. The thing that gets me down is that I was doing so well on games from 43-56 or so, and then its just like I ran into a brick wall.

The dinosaur game gets my vote, since it derailed my first LSAT attempt. It came up in one of the early sections, and I didn't have a prayer of recovering after that.

If someone knows was able to get only one question wrong on that, do you think they are set for the games on Saturday?

I -0 the dino game in 7 minutes and missed 5 on october LG section...I wouldn't say any particular game is an indicator of preparedness for the LG section

Mulch is WAY easier than dinosaurs, it is just a unique game so those who had drilled expecting something familiar were a little freaked out by it I think.

See my avatar.

But seriously, it really doesn't matter what the hardest was because there's just going to be certain tests that click with you and certain ones that don't.

I thought Dinos and Interns were both very difficult.

Mulch wasn't bad, it just didn't fall into the prep companies' categories.

Dinos. Mulch wasn't even the hardest on the exam.

I think the one with bus stops and passengers getting off was difficult also.

Dinosaurs and the 3rd game on 61 (because I bombed it). Mulch wasn't hard, just different from anything I'd seen before.

I am suddenly looking forward to Mulch Madness.

I actually hope the games make a major comeback. Hard LG + Lenient Curve >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Easy LG + Tight Curve for people like me.

If my version is correct, the curve on the Dino game test was -10. Not great by any stretch.

I finished the Dino game section not ten minutes ago, for the fourth time. Game one in that section took me a record 3:35. I remembered the key to the dino game. I STILL took 37 minutes to finish the section. I am baffled at how they managed to get the Dinos through the experimental phase, and how anyone could have finished the "grants" game afterward, which wasn't easy either.

I also agree with the poster above re: harder LG sections of late. Last night and tonight I worked through the LG from 54,55,56, and 57. Across the first three which I had no conscious memory of, I got one wrong and finished them all in time, some within 30 minutes. But 57, as I just described, was hell. And when I did the full PTs of 58-59-60, I also didn't finish any in time, although they weren't as bad as Dinos.

Yeah, I think PT 57 was just an anomaly. 58-61 all had pretty decent curves with games increasing in difficulty. I think it at least partially contributed to the curve though I might be wrong. Let's just hope the new generous curve trend is here to stay for December.

3. 216 Pez factory assembly line worker
4. 173 Off-ramp florist
5. 89 Personal assistant to D-list actor, actress, model, or someone who claims to be a “producer”

What counts as recent? I'd probably say dinos if we're talking 50-60. I don't remember which PT it was on, but I remember some game having to do with music stores, old, new cds being the hardest for me out of all the games.
