Worst possible layout? RC-LR-LG-RC-LR?
So I'd assume most people would prefer NOT to have RC as their experimental, for obvious reasons.
I had the aforementioned layout in June, and I think by the last section I was just worn down. I felt like I really killed both RC's (canceled my score), but by the last 10 Q's of LR2 I just was drained. Didn't help that there were a fair amount of hard Q's in there, but I definitely missed some I'd normally have gotten.
Anyway, just curious what other people's thoughts are.

Best possible for me is LR-LG-LR-RC-LR
Also, I would take two LGs over two RCs.

i would be furious if there were 2 RCs tomorrow. 3 LRs would be draining also; hopefully the experimental section is a logic games section with really bizarre questions (so we can tell it's experimental)

I don't think I'd mind experimental RC.
I just don't want LG first.

3 LRs are way too mentally taxing

Re: Worst possible layout? RC-LR-LG-RC-LR?
June of 2012 I had LR, experimental RC, real RC, LG, LR. RC is my hardest section. Turning the page after the last question of the experimental RC section and finding a whole nother RC section was like, one of the most disappointing moments of my life.

This is obviously the correct answer.

Probably worse. I didn't think they'd do that to someone.

Oh, man I REEAALLLY hope that doesn't happen tomorrow. I don't think I've EVER done back to back timed RC sections....francesfarmer wrote:June of 2012 I had LR, experimental RC, real RC, LG, LR.

Re: Worst possible layout? RC-LR-LG-RC-LR?
got 3 LRs before my break last time I sat for it. BY the time I was done with the test. I can't even figure out which one was the experimental since all the questions just kind of clumped together in my head.

Re: Worst possible layout? RC-LR-LG-RC-LR?
I had never even contemplated the possibility of an experimental RC section, much less experimental RC right before real RC. And neither should any of you! It's worthless speculation.LDVM4334 wrote:francesfarmer wrote:June of 2012 I had LR, experimental RC, real RC, LG, LR. RC is my hardest section.

On the bright side I still got a great score, on the downside this layout probably cost me 3-4 points.

Just don't even think about this stuff. It will all be over after 4 hours no matter what.

Re: Worst possible layout? RC-LR-LG-RC-LR?
I'd obviously rather experimental games, but I'd prefer them split up — like a nice break in between RC and LR and then LR and LR.
If we could pick: LR - LG - RC - LG - LR
If we could pick: LR - LG - RC - LG - LR

Re: Worst possible layout? RC-LR-LG-RC-LR?
So let me get this straight. You frequently solve mind-bendingly complicated games in 5 minutes flat, and you'd rather not have double games?!bee wrote:...i guess i'm the odd one out because i'd vastly, VASTLY prefer two RCs back to back to two LG sections. games just freak me out, no matter how long i drill/pt/etc.
my ideal layout would be: lr / exp rc / lg / rc / lr
i'm the most relaxed during lr so it'd be nice to open and close with it.

Best possible: LR-LG-RC-LR-EXP Writing-Real Writing
Maybe they're introducing those this test

RC-LR-LR-LG-LG is TCR test layout

Re: Worst possible layout? RC-LR-LG-RC-LR?
In June I had LR - LG - LR - LR - RC. I wouldn't mind having that again, or maybe swap the last two sections.
