Flip pages to find out experimental section?

Post by bleachth » Thu Sep 25, 2014 7:23 pm

Is it possible to "inadvertently" flip to the second half of the test and quickly note the two section types before the test begins?
And is it possible to "inadvertently" flip over a page when you finish a section before time to glimpse at the next section?

Also is RC getting harder since PT 69? I seem to be missing 1-2 questions more than my average performance.

Thanks for your response and good luck to our LSAT this weekend :)

It sounds like you already have an opinion on this, but I would definitely recommend not doing anything like this. Your "inadvertent" flip could get you booted by an overzealous proctor.

This is a stupid question and you should feel bad for asking it. Even if you did something this dumb, there's no way to know at that time which of the repeated sections is experimental.

I'm feeling bad for attempting to get an advantage over everyone else, but thing is, I get a tremendous confidence boost if I know the experimental section is not on RC, so I can work the shit out of me doing the first RC I encounter.

Anyway, thanks for your critique

Yeah you're right, this all depends on me sitting in a strategic position and sensing the zeal of my proctors. :)

If the prospect of two RCs is meaningfully affecting your performance, you are per se not ready for the test.

Yeah, have 2 midterms on Friday and my eyes likely to get strained the next day based on past experience. So I may cancel if I can't sustain through the exam. But who knows, chances are in my favor.

Empirically false.

if the fifth section is the second lg/rc, the first lg/rc is the experimental

Ya apparently the experimental is almost never 4th or 5th. Not trying to encourage anything with this shit thread, but jush shayin
