Guys, this was my retake and unlike Oct....I cant remember most of the questions...and when reminded of a stimulus topic I cant remember!!! Bad sign? I thought I did well in Oct, but i was dead wrong. Now I think i bombed it....

I remember nothing and got a 92% on the prep test, i remember more from the prep test, probably because i pushed myself to work a little faster on the real lsat, you may be the same way.

It doesn't matter if you can remember the details. In Oct, the discussions of the questions were a lot more frequent and detailed than for this test. There was more to remind you of the questions back then. For this test, things have been a lot more chill.

Try thinking of each section as a whole and how you felt while you were taking them. That should give you a better idea of how you did.

thing is....i have no clue. I couldn't even tell you if i did better or worse than oct. I did take powerscore's course tho, but im even doubting if it was helpful

An optimistic position would be that you found the questions relatively easy to answer/think through overall, so none really stuck out, so you therefore don't remember them.

I'd say don't sweat it.

If it helps you out a buddy and myself retook in October. Afterward we were talking about the LSAT and we were both in disbelief on the vast amount of questions we couldn't remember. I mean this was right after the test and tons of LR and games we forgot.

In the end we both ended up substantially better than June. I can't say the same will happen to you, but I don't think its necessarily a bad sign.

that does make me feel a tad bit better. as you for telling me not to sweat it, i appreciate it, but you dont know how i am hahahahahaha. I'm comparing my feelings about this test to my feelings in Oct. (All I know is that in Oct, I went to my campus' fall carnival afterwards and rode the scrambler 10 times. This time, i came home and cried to a floormate)

After the Dec LSAT, I went to the nearest church and threw bricks through their stained glass windows. Anyone else?

win.

I never remember questions. When my dad asked me what the RC passage topics were, I blanked.

I still have no idea what people are talking about with the "utilities" LG, but I know I nailed it. So put one in the pro column.

yeah....games....i know i bombed that crap.

If you remember the questions after the test, there's a decent chance that you were still thinking about the questions after you were done with them (e.g. in section 2 you were still fixating on questions from section 1, either consciously or unconsciously). So it's probably for the best that you don't remember anything.

At least, that's what I used to tell myself when I took a test and couldn't remember a single question afterwards. Until I started practicing remembering questions, I couldn't remember anything.

I can't even remember what G4 was about, but since everyone has said it was easy, and I remember finishing that game feeling confident, I feel good overall.

Just because someone remembers all the questions doesn't mean they're getting a perfect score. Relax. There's nothing to do but get drunk and play video games until our scores come out

i dunno...I'm trying every which way to think I did better on this one than oct. The entire test is a blur--except that i moved from question to question...focusing on one question at a time. All i remember.

It occurred to me that it might be worthwhile to add a pop post-test that asks things like: how many questions total? Name three LR. Describe one RC. Etc. That kind of post-test would highlight skills that are useful for real lawyers vs the test content itself, which works as a screen but doesn't adequately address the abilities required to practice law.

I'd flunk that post-test, though, as I don't remember much of anything from the test...it's mostly a haze. Except for stained glass.

I only remember questions that gave me a genuinely hard time, so if I don't remember many questions, I'd personally take it as a good sign.

This is a good post because I feel the same way. I don't remember ANY of the test. I only remember a question about sun screen. In fact, the entire time from when I woke up until I finally left my testing center is a blur. I think I had so much adrenaline going that day. I remember driving home from the testing center with enough energy to take another full test.

I have no idea what my score was. As I wait for my score, I'm not nervous. But more excited, if anything.

I remembered the test word for word in October, but i knew I should cancel. This time, i don't remember a thing. but I KNOW I did better.

Even in practice lately, I haven't been remembering the actual scenarios, just the logic and/or first letters of each (in LG).

Or maybe the question was so difficult our mind's defense mechanisms suppressed it from our memories
