I hated this one. It was both easy (relatively simple language) and hard (difficult topic). The questions are easy as hell.

Are my feelings in line with the consensus?

Is this a standard tactic these days - tricky subject, questions a child could answer?

Typically the LSAC is very conscious of how they configure the exam. If you've noticed, many Logic Games will either lend themselves to simple and very helpful deductions/scenarios but have a tricky question or two (if rule X is substituted for rule Y...), or else offer relatively few deductions but have more straightforward and, often, conditional questions.

RC is similar in that some the passages with the most dense and complex reading are coupled with simpler questions. So yes there is usually consensus on some of these being skewed in one direction or the other. Odd that an easy passage would be fourth though. Typically LG and RC are in ordered in close to ascending difficulty.

Also hate this reading comp. This was my first take of the LSAT(retaking this month) and all of my other sections were solid. This section was the kicker that really destroyed my score.
