Not awful, but I think a bit more difficult than October. I'm considering canceling and sticking with my first score, but I want to see what you guys think about the curve, what was fake, etc.

EDIT: There were indeed 102 questions.

What does everyone think?

I had RC LR LG LG LR.

RC: Typical difficulty.

LR 1: I got tripped up on a few.

LG (exp, I think): Stomped it.

LG (scored): Pretty sure I blew it (3+ wrong)

LR 2: Finished ten minutes early.I thought it was the easiest section of the test.

Can anyone confirm that the scored LG section had at the beginning a really long (text wise) game first?

Edit: I'm hoping for a 165+ but if the logic game section I bombed is the one I think I may be lucky for a 163.

Real games: Stain glass windows
Real RC: Dental decay
Real LR: Giant marine reptiles

Can't remember the other LR, but thought this would save other posters a lot of hassle.

Shit I was really hoping the stained glass windows was the exp.

^ Yeah, I had a bit of trouble with that section too. I knew it was real because of where it fell in the test though.

Yeah I had that for section 4 and the exp LG as section 3. I feel like I did well on the rest of the test but that LG section really hurt me. I was shooting for 165+ but now I think I'll be lucky to get a 163...

The hardest part of the LG was not having room to write on the two long games that were right next to each other. I couldn't just scribble on the next page, so after trying to write really tiny and failing, I finally just gave up and wrote my setups on the third page, which made me miss some stuff. Probably canceling.

Yeah, there was no room for diagrams. Grrr.

Dental decay RC: Was this also the RC with the passage about the domestic novels? (I had two RCs)

I am going to hate stained glass windows forever because of this.

That LG... killed me. I usually get no more than -1 on LG, but I ran out of time for this one, and had to guess 3. SHIEEEEEEEET

Diiizzzzoooo · Post by **Diiizzzzoooo** » Sat Dec 11, 2010 2:38 pm

yeah your second game was the real one. That section was a fucking asshole

asdfqwer1234 · Post by **asdfqwer1234** » Sat Dec 11, 2010 2:40 pm

Also I have a question about LR. Did a real LR section have questions that were like in the old format? I had a section where there were two questions for just one prompt. (Questions 5~6 on one prompt, 7~8 for one prompt.)

FuturePrez · Post by **FuturePrez** » Sat Dec 11, 2010 2:40 pm

Overall...it was pretty freakin tough. I almost froze on logic games, but made a huge deduction (luckily) on the three harder problems which saved me. I felt like LR all around was a pain in the ass and a bit more difficult than last october or June Tests.

Diiizzzzoooo · Post by **Diiizzzzoooo** » Sat Dec 11, 2010 2:40 pm

That logic game section was almost unfair. I can't believe how confusing and time consuming games 2 and 3 were.

I had three LR sections, and none that I recall had multi-questioned prompts

asdfqwer1234 · Post by **asdfqwer1234** » Sat Dec 11, 2010 2:42 pm

I had LR, RC, LR, LR(exp), LG. I usually do well on LG, but this one... this one was a fucked up one.

tenpenny3 · Post by **tenpenny3** » Sat Dec 11, 2010 2:43 pm

I though LR was easy until for like 17-21 it was really hard, then easy again.

The LG's total lack of room was rough, cost me a good 2-3mins

RC wasn't that bad until 1850's fiction

I had LR RC LR LR LG

idk which LR section was exp

was the LR with the parallel reasoning q exp or real?

I had a guy walk out in the middle of section 2 at my test center. haha i hope he walked out during his exp. section cuz that would be funny.

Yea, dental decay and medical illustrations RC is the real one.

Did the real RC have a passage on radiocarbon dating?

same with me. I really think I did well on all the other sections but that LG was extremely brutal for me

. I was also shooting for 170+ (got 165 in Oct) but within that LG, I could have gotten anywhere from 0-10 wrong

. FML

beidoun · Post by **beidoun** » Sat Dec 11, 2010 2:46 pm

LG and RC were brutal....I think that usually brings on a generous curve.

The 1st and 4th game were easy.
The 2nd game was very time consuming, with I think 7 questions and a read a rule incorrectly to make it worse.
The 3rd game on classes was very difficult.

I don't even know what hit me on the RC.

Took oct and june test and this one was harder.

LR were both easy to me

Hoping for higher then a 166

My order: LR(26 questions experimental) RC LR(25 questions) LR(26 questions) LG

The stained glass didn't bother me so much, it was the damned conference that got me.

I normally have no problem with the RC, but the Jewett passage threw me.

Also, I had three LRs, so I don't have them separated to clearly in my brain. Gah. It hurts.
