Is this true? Forum

The experimental section is apparently always in the first three sections of the test. So if I have one LG section in the first 3 and one after the break, I can without a doubt conclude that the first LG section was the experimental?

[bport hopeful]

Yes.

[SanDiegoJake]

Yes.

Pray you have an experimental LG section instead of LR or RC.

[kaiser]

Yup, but the test is constructed such that you would never know which section is the experiemental while you are actually doing the experimental section. But, as you noted, it is possible to know which is the experimental later in the test, when you see a duplicate of LG or RC in the final 2 sections. I was unlucky enough to have sections 2, 3, and 4 all being LR, which made it impossible to know which (of 2 and 3) was experimental.

Anybody remember a poster that said he is such a master of the LSAT that when he hit his experimental section he would know which one it is by the wordings of the questions. Then he would just ignore that section and take a cat nap.

LOL. Since the experimental will one day be a real section, this guy was obviously lying or an idiot.

The experimental does not become a real section in future exams.

Some questions from experimental become real questions in a future section, but not the whole section. He still shouldn't have any way of knowing that an experimental section isn't a real section. HTH.

Are you kidding?

I did not say parts are not taken from it. But the whole section does not become a real section on a later exam.

This wouldn't really surprise me all that much. When I took it I had 3 LR's and I had a pretty good hunch which one was the experimental when I was doing it. I could tell because it didn't seem to follow the general trend of easier->harder as much. I certainly wouldn't have the guts to take a nap on that hunch though.

Me too. The experimental LR was really easy.

The only way to conclusively determine which is the exp is to look at the last two sections and if one is RC or LG and one of the first three is the same, then the first is exp.

It's really, really easy to tell which section is experimental, they just have a different feel. After all, they are "experimental". So on test day, if you feel that a question is weird, just put down your pencil and relax for the next half hour. If you don't follow your intuition, you don't have self-confidence, and lacking self-confidence is a killer on the LSAT.

With the use of the terms "intuition" and "self-confidence," this felt a bit like a Logical Reasoning stimulus.

Because it was the most confusing RC passage I had ever read, maybe with the exception of the Native American on on the same test.
