I had 3 LRs(25-26-25) and don't remember this one. Did you have 25-26-26? Maybe it was in the fake 26.
I had 25/26/25 too.. :cry:

Oh man :( I guess I just forgot about that one then.

Well! Had two LG, one was cake and the other really hard. I think the hard one was real. But still well! You?
I had one LG, it wasn't so bad for me although I didn't get to finish 1 game which SUCKS. 2 RC's, I'm still wondering which one was real but either way I got fucked by both.
Ozone and jury nullification was real.
THANKS! I was going to ask someone if jury nullification was real because I know I did a lot better on that RC than the fake RC.

Well, it seems I fucked up.

On the G3 about vases and lamps, etc, I tried to put all the rules together and ended up making a mess out of them. I then rushed into the game, then decided to skip it, finished G4, then came back to G3 and guessed on like 5 questions.

It really wasn't even hard if you diagrammed the rules neatly; I just fucked up on it.

At least I think I did ok on LR/RC, but I'm quite sure I didn't perform at my best and this is my second take. :( fml

Anyone think g3 was hard?

Any major cons to cancelling before I do this? Pretty confident I got at least 8 wrong on the RC and 2-3 wrong on LG which means a 170 is not likely to say the least

For sure Pretzel!! Experimental RC had me like "huh", I'm glad it wasn't the real one.. How did it go for you in general though??? I'll have you know that I had pretzels as a snack today ;)

Chalk this up to me being a newbie on here and not reading the whole thread, but how do y'all know which section(s) are experimental? This is my first time taking it, so sorry if I missed it!

if someone says they had a section with X question and someone else says they didn't have that section/question, its experimental.

Yep, probably the 2nd hardest sequencing game I've ever done (can't remember what the hardest is, something with three categories and Y being the only member of its category). But I digress, not sure if it was hard because of substance or because it was my first section and I wasn't warmed up/anxiety or whatever (frankly, I thought the first game was hard as far as first game in the section goes). I left a couple of the later questions blank to come back to and never really got to them in time.

There is like zero upside to cancelling. How do you really know you got all those wrong? Also, do you know the curve for sure?

+1 there is no good reason to cancel and I believe that is what the TLS consensus is.

As has been previously stated, one LR was madness. The rest of the test pretty standard IMO. Hoping the hard LR was experimental. (Movie producers was last Q.) Glad the storm didnt hit Miami!!

WOMP!!!!
I had the African Weaver RC and this Movie Producers LR (the one about new technology), and understand the African Weaver to be an Experimental RC.
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck
Well a 178+ is probably out of the question for me now. I hope I crushed the other three sections. No clue which LR was experimental now.

Also, the fourth game in the section was suspiciously easy, almost like it should have been first or second.

There was a KEY inference that turned that game from hard as shit to totally manageable

Yeah, cancelling after you take still counts as a take and you don't get to see your score and score breakdown. So unless you get violently ill during the test or something there's no point in cancelling.

But only if you think it really screwed you. An investigation will hold up scores being released and if something is founded then you either get a free retake (without learning your score) or else you just suck it up and take the score you got today.
this sucks dick.
it sucks major dick. also, glad that the universe brought us together Jeevesy so I could confirm this madness the second I got home.......... ugh
yeah thank fuck youre here.

how do you think you did on the test though?

my main dilemma is that there was a shit easy LG and the parts of the test that i didnt rush on due to our shitbrain proctor's timing I actually felt pretty good about. I cant really say if ill actually do better on a properly timed retake.
Okay, so minus the timing problem this would have been a VERY easy test for me.

LG first - super easy, I was actually minorly trippin' because I thought it had to be experimental because it was so easy. This section was, I'm pretty sure, cut short by 1 minute or so because all of the dickwads in our room had to pee and the proctor was just like "aight put your pencils down". That would've maaaybe been an excusable mistake and I can't say for sure how early it was ended. I was only mildly uncertain on 1 question, a rule substitution one, which I was deciding between when time was called. I think I went -0 to -2 in this section.

LR second - I was in a chill dream world after great LG and this went really well. I can never exactly predict my LR but I would say -0 to -3

RC experimental 3rd - my hunger kicked in and I took like TWELVE MINUTES on the African weaving shit and then he said 5 minutes left (of course there were actually 7) for the last passage on chem/physics and I basically had a panic blackout and couldn't even finish. PRAISE THE LORD THIS WAS EXPERIMENTAL

RC again - a lot easier, first 3 passages were good, last passage (don't even remember what it was) was slightly harder and, you know, I LOST THE LAST 2 MINUTES so although I bubbled all the answers for the section I could've used more time to make it better. unclear about this but I would say -2 to -4. Oh and I'm minorly tweaking about timing the whole section but I figured surely the proctor would not fuck it up this time. But the general panic did not help.

LR last - at this point I think I am fucking insane because no one else seems to have a problem with the timing but luckily with LR timing is *less* of an issue. Didn't seem too bad. Could have used the whole fucking 35 minutes to check some things, but, this was also probably a -0 to -3 section.


SOOO I agree. Basically this was an easy test with a shitty proctor situation. The timing directly and indirectly affected me. But I would not cancel this or jeopardize it, like you, because I do not know if the next test would go this well

Basically shout out to LG being completely manageable and my nightmare RC being expermintal

otherwise I would be FUCKED.ORG
yeah the fact that this was a p easy test and the fact that im out of prep materials means that i prob wont be doing their shitty free retake.

whatever, theres no free will and its a deterministic universe so im not mad i guess

OK, thanks for this. Kind of raging/not thinking clearly (kind of like how I was during RC). I'll still retake because I know I could do better. And I'm doing it ASAP because I've exhausted all prep material

I thought there was at least 1 T14 school that averaged them, and that schools consider all scores but don't really care about a cancel.

I had trouble with this one too and I've been pretty solid on LG recently. I forgot about one of the rules (s not first) which really fucked me up. Wasn't sure if it was hard cause I was dumb about that or if because of all the conditionals. I had only 5 mins for game 4 but that one seemed really easy

This is largely true, but the one reason to cancel would be if you are normally excellent on LG but took a dump on one of them. You can usually know this more reliably than your evaluation of how you did on the other sections. If there's no way it's going to be a score you're going to send off to law school, you might as well cancel.

You need to be sure. But sometimes that happens with LG.

I thought the vases game wasn't that bad. I messed up on like 2 questions but quickly corrected myself once I remembered an inference about that recording(?) crap.
