Let's discuss.

Also, can we get a mod to tell us what is allowed and what is not?

Edit: Before the poll was changed, 49 people voted for a curve of -11 and 50 had voted for a curve of -12.

I am pretty sure we can say something like "what did you think of that apartment game" but cant actually say what it was or what the correct answer choice was.

Can someone pitch in on which RC was real?
for instance, one about bankruptcy or one about the bunnies etc.

Thank you.
Also, how freaking easy was that? Everyone has been hyping the trend about harder RC.

Do you guys think it will have a generous or ungenerous curve? Also, what did you think of the games section?

Thought the game section was the hardest overall. One of the LR was harder than average, one was about average, and one was much easier (but I'm almost sure this was my experimental), and the RC was super easy. I think that it will be a -11 or -12 curve

I thought that the games section was really tough, the RC was moderately tough and the LR was easy

Maybe I'm alone, but I thought the LG wasn't anything out of the ordinary. Apparently the real one was the one with the cats. Was that the only hard game in the section for most everyone?

I think I got a bit tripped up on the comparative reading passage. Hopefully I sorted that out correctly.

Not out of the ordinary at all, but I still think the hardest section overall. maybe that's just because RC was super easy and it's much more difficult to gauge the difficulty of LR sections (I think)

I didn't enjoy the cat game.

can you name any other games from the real LG section that you know of? Do you remember a hybrid game with musical instruments being played in either Hall G or Hall H along with ordering?

thought the LG was pretty tough, spent to much time on the first game.

my test went

LR LG LR LR RC

One of the LR sections i thought was exceptionally easy, i'm thinking its going to be the experimental however.
RC a section i typically struggle on i thought was quite easy, ashame I didn't nail down the LG section probably would've had an excellent score.

I thought the test was kind of on the easier side, but mentally, I wasn't completely there. Took longer on games and RC than I wanted and had to guess on some. Wouldn't surprise me if I blew it.

Hard LR-LG-LR-LR-RC

No idea which LR was exp.

I had LR-LG-RC-LR-RC. I thought LG was tougher than usual, the first LR was quite easy, as was the first RC. The second LR and RC were both about average. The games really tripped me up though, as someone who consistently hit -2 or less in practice. I'm predicting probably a -13 curve, especially as October felt easier and it was a -12 curve.

Had the same configuration, and am about 99% sure the first was experimental
