I thought it was, and was wondering how people feel.

The 25 question one? I went -4 on it which was half of my total missed questions.DaydreamNation wrote:LR2 was my best section at -2 wtf is wrong with me
Yeah I went -2 on the 25 question one, -3 on the 26 question oneSlippin' Jimmy wrote:The 25 question one? I went -4 on it which was half of my total missed questions.DaydreamNation wrote:LR2 was my best section at -2 wtf is wrong with me
you shut your mouth jimmy. that psych passage was hard!Slippin' Jimmy wrote:Objectively LR1, RC and LG were pretty easy IMHO while LR2 was slightly above average difficulty. But the strict curve evened it out, so while the questions themselves were overall easier there was no real change in difficulty required to reach a certain score.
The content was pretty weird but the structure was pretty standard. Still was on the harder end and took me about 11 minutes to do all the questions, but as you said the rest of the section was super easy, which balanced things out. Definitely have seen harder passages (Pin factory, Eilean Grey etc.) but inferential thinking is probably up there in my top 5 hardest.Future Ex-Engineer wrote:you shut your mouth jimmy. that psych passage was hard!Slippin' Jimmy wrote:Objectively LR1, RC and LG were pretty easy IMHO while LR2 was slightly above average difficulty.

ETA: the rest of RC was dirt easy
I don't think I ever did pin factory, but I didn't think Eileen Grey was difficult at all. I only missed 3 RC, and all on that stupid passage haha. Two of them were inferential QsSlippin' Jimmy wrote:The content was pretty weird but the structure was pretty standard.

Funny thing is my only miss was on the first passage, which was by far the easiest.
Luckily I got a super easy LG experimental just before the break. I finished with 5 minutes left which I never do. Was kind of bummed out that it wasn't real since I made a couple stupid mistakes on the real one.MediocreAtBest wrote:I think one thing that messed me up was having the experimental LG before LR2. That brewery game really crushed me and I went into LR2 still thinking about it, ended up missing 5 questions there. I hope they scrap that game.
Would much rather have 'regular' test with -12 curve. I'll still miss 8 questions regardlessMediocreAtBest wrote:I think many users here would agree with me, but I'd rather have a slightly harder test with a normal curve than the test we got in June. I'm also super salty that I performed at the bottom of my range, but my opinion still stands.
