Which LR was experimental??

I had LR for section 1, 3, and 4.
So, I think it's a toss up between 1 and 3 for me. I'm dying to know which one it was.

I had LR for 1,3, and 4. I cancelled, so I guess it doesn't matter, but I think 1 was it. However, when I got to 3, I was like wtf!
I don't know. LR was a little odd for me this time around.

I'm praying 1 was experimental. We had some LOUD guy in the next room yapping away. I asked the proctor to make him shut up. She did, and he left, but he cost me 4 questions on section 1.

Section 3 was almost too easy. I'm sure it was 1

I noticed that in section 1, questions from 8-14 were harder than usual. Also, they were usually more dense than other questions.

I honestly thought that LR was tougher than usual. However, I found RC and games to be easier for me than they normally are.

The reason I think 3 was exp. was because it had 4 or 6 questions where the same stimulus was used for 2 questions, something I haven't seen in a while. Does anyone who did not have the experimental have this setup?

My experimental was a RC so maybe I can help with which LR's were real for you guys... one section had a parallel question about brains being considered computers... can't think of any specific questions from the other section.. my brain is mush right now

Section 1 was really hard throughout. Some of the more research/science type ones at the end were confusing. I didn't mind 3 or 4 and both seemed easy and basic.
Section 1 had a question about the depression, blood pressure, heart disease links. The last one question was about great art and it was very complex

All of us have said that we had LR for 1, 3, and 4. Could it be, though, that the LSAC would switch around for some test-takes which LR is experimental or is it uniform across? In other words, some may have had LR1 be exp while others had LR3 be the experimental.

the number of ?'s for the LR sections was 24 - 26 - 25. do you remember how many ?'s were on your test?

It could have switched. But, as I said, the obvious difference was that ONE of the LR's (what people are saying is the easier, non-scientific one) had multiple questions for a single stimulus multiple times. Was this experimental or not for those who had RC/LG exp?

I can't confirm for sure, but I think the Socrates/multiple questions per stimulus section had 26 questions, which would mean it was experimental.

hmmm maybe the first section had 25..yeah i think it did, i left one blank i think, that would explain the discrepancy - so that would make the 3rd section exp. i guess. if i'm remembering correctly, that is

I had the Socrates question and my experimental was RC.. so that section was real

You are my new best friend. I was about to sit on the floor and cry if that Socrates was not the real deal and my 1st section was.

Wait a second. I was thinking about it again and now I think Socrates actually was in section 4, the lsat LR section.

Did you not have the one with blood pressure and anger, then heart disease being caused by psychological factors? I hope that section was the experiemental.

Definitely. The guy next to me started with a different section than I did, with LG, but I had LR for 1, 2, and 3, then LG, then RC.

socrates was the real deal.
i had 3 LR's but socrates was my fourth section, so that means it was real.
