Just took the January 2011 LSAT retake and i'm wondering which one of the three LRs that I had was experimental. The LR sections contained the following questions

Section 1 - Birds in Siberia (possibly a question about Soup too)

Section 2 - Octopus with red ball and lowering minimum wages

Section 3 - Big Bang Theory

I'm pretty sure the last one was real because it was after the break but I really want to know about the first two. If anyone has any information that would be great. Pray to God it was the Birds section because Section 2 wrecked me.

For people with other experiementals my LG and RC contained:

LG: Different classes on different floors, and Indian Reservation for RC.

Thanks!

Octopus and Big Bang Theory were real.

Did you have an LG section with one game about a zookeeper and seven animals, including a yak, a zebra, and a walrus, I think and then another game that had novelists assigned to one or more groups?

confirm octopus and big bang. Don't remember a zookeeper game.

I didn't have a game with animals.

Another confirmation for Octopus and Big Bang. Hot Shot, do you remember the content of any of your other games? I had an experimental AR in section 1 or 3...

Did anyone have a game about five employees - N, Q, R, T, and V - assigned to F, G, or H?

I only had one LG section and it contained:

Game 1: 7 people

Game 2: 7 people

Game 3: Classes on different floors

Game 4: 8 people

Edited*

I had 3 LR sections.

Can confirm the one with the employees was the real game.

I thought the last game was a little tough.

Anyone else think RC was difficult? I thought the third passage was much harder than the rest, though. (Political party comparison passage).


Games - Easy
LR - Normal (Octopus question was a little tough)
RC - Slightly Hard

My room had a lot of no shows, about 1/3-1/4 of the seats were empty if that means anything in establishing the curve.

Writing - Choosing jobs (irrelevant, though)

I thought the games were experimental at first because I found them unbelievably easy. RC went a little better than normal for me although I agree the Comparative passage was difficult and the length of the Indian passage/questions forced me into guessing on two questions. My experimental LR was a complete joke (great...) and I found the other two to be challenging, especially the octopus one. The last LR was tough but not a total disaster.

I just took it this afternoon, and I believe my experimental was in reading comprehension ... oh thank the lord!

Yeah, that freakin' Indian one was ridiculous


My thought pattern "oh, okay, I pretty much get this.....hmmm...that's not even close to any of these choices...."

Speaking of the Minnesota retake - does anyone know when the scores will be released? Will the 3 week wait still hold seeing as most test takers were on the December time-line or will the scores be out sooner due to the low volume? Thanks.

It looks like last February people waited only 6-8 days to get their makeup scores.

I called LSAC and they told me it would be released around the same day, maybe only a couple days later

A couple days later than when?
