June 2016 - Waiter's (+170 or bust) GRAY DAY HAS AWOKEN FROM ITS SLUMBER Forum

[somewhatferal]

Any two LR people remember a question about voters over 50 and under 50? I remember staring at that question for a while.

Boston seems to have a proctor problem. I was at Roxbury Comm College and nothing as egregious as what happened at Suffolk, but still really distracting and didn't seem to have a handle on what they were doing.

oh noes :/ that sucks, I deff would have said something.... if my watch was off by 10 sec or so I could ignore it was human error but 2 minutes, no wai. Like somethingelse said, you can complain but absolute best case would be you could option to cancel score and get a free retake, or they could simply make a note of the report. that would destroy me on RC and wouldnt make LR all that fun

Yeah I mean...I should have said something the second time it happened.

The problem is, when he said "5 minutes left" and there were clearly 7, if you raise your hand you're risking fucking up the test for everyone or at least for yourself so I didn't think it was worth it

well its not uncommon for someone to ask atleast 1 question throughout the test so raising your hand wouldnt cause too much of a commotion if you just quickly mention something and point out ur watch. I mean a few seconds of commotion at the end would totally be worth adding 2 minutes on but shoulda woulda coulda

I mean it's a tough spot to be in for you pay the price for someone else's incompetence.

even if you mention it briefly, it can break your momentum which can be worth minutes. Evokes sorta fight or flight response. One never know which instinct prevails until it happens

Yeah I mean what would even happen if someone mentions it during the test? Assuming the proctor agrees that he/she was fucking up, do they just cancel the test and you'd have to retake?

[somewhatferal]

I'm so sorry for you Suffolk people. My proctors were great. They even let us have water on the table during the test.

i wanted to say something as well, but no one seemed fazed, and also i thought maybe it was my shitty watch or something, or maybe i set it incorrectly between sections. if i get less than my PT average I am going to find this proctor and the shit out of him.

Lesson Learned: dont choose LSAT test centers at TTTs, because your proctors will be exactly the type of mental invalids that you would expect to be affiliated with such institutions.

also even if you had like 50 people in a room only 2-3 among them will be at a percentile level where minutes or seconds make difference. vast majority of test takers don't care but that doesnt excuse proctor stupidity.

For those who usually go -1/0 on LG, did you think LG was run of the mill?

Got -0 on LG for my last LSAT, and -2 max on Preptests 52-77 for LG.

This one I had to guess on 4, ran out of time.

WTF happened. Like what the actual fuck

Anyone else want to commiserate with me?

All I remember is the car parts game from the experimental (confirmed above) and the 1920s game. The experimental game 4 was fucking brutal at the end. The other section with 1920s was a breeze.

[somewhatferal]

Another LR keyword: voting on behalf of your children and fairness.

[Ericwa]

I have 3 LR 25/26/26.. I thought one of them is freaking hard....... Btw.. For LG... I actually struggle with first game...maybe I am just dumb... RC is very hard.

This is real.

nah just tack on 2 minutes and not say anything, thats what I would do anyway, may confuse people who were expecting time to be called 5 min after 5 remaining was called but theyd still be able to work. unless they were extreme assholes, then maybe cancel but that would be dumb

Cool. Now if I could just remember which section it was in. Haha. The only one I remember is that question #26 was about movies and profitability in LR2.

Yo pop tart what was the topic of the experimental game 4?

Yeah true I guess if you catch it on the first section it would be fine.

Confirmed the fake RC had a comparative reading about chemistry. The fake RC was much harder than the real RC IMO.

[dodint]

Really regretting not studying hard for this. I had to work OT all spring which is incredibly rare for my line of work (government) and it just wasn't in the cards. The test was so easy but I didn't have the tools to execute because I didn't actually get the studying in. I guarantee when I retake it'll be murder. Looking at a 160 or so, I reckon.

I bet this goes down as one of the easiest LSATs for 18 months in either direction. Really missed an opportunity here.

eh I disagree, Id say it may be close if it were LR as that has the most common problem of people being stuck on certain problems and using time struggling to figure out 1 or 2 questions but for some people who are a little slower at LG 2 minutes could easily mean 2 questions and same with RC, 2 minutes is a lot of time

[magnum_law]

So I felt confident AF throughout the 3 LRs and the LG sections, but RC really messed me up.

Couldn't get it together for the Arts and Token passages. Finished on time but pretty unsure about my answers. Anyone else?

I'm a retaker. High 160s the first time. Hoping for 170+ this time but not sure how it'll play out

[magnum_law]

Also...any predictions on what the curve will be?!

Factories and car parts

eh maybe -6

[forum_user]

Checking in. Sorry to hear one of the test centers had a bad proctor. My experience was great.

LR-LG-LR-LR-RC
Easy (25), easy, a little bad but not impossible (26), not bad (26), tough but only because I was getting tired. I'm guessing a -10 curve at most.

Congrats to everyone on being done!

[Mikey]

So how is everyone feeling??? How did it go for my fellow June group buddies??
