Hey guys! Here's the official June LSAT Discussion Thread. Please keep all discussions of the June 2016 LSAT here!
Here's some ground rules, taken from my usual sticky:
We know that everyone will be excited to discuss what was on the June '16 LSAT, but mentioning specifics about the test (e.g., "I got B for question 6" or "the 3rd LG was sequencing") can get both us and you in a lot of trouble with LSAC. Saying that the test was hard/easy without going into detail is okay, but anything more specific is not okay. LSAC monitors this forum.
If you're unsure what may be too specific, feel free to PM me with what you'd like to post.
The only exception is you can say which sections were real or experimental. For example, the LG with "flowers" was experimental. That's okay.
TL;DR: PLEASE don't talk specifics about June's LSAT!
Here's where you can see the current Real/Experimental Sections:
Have fun discussing!

RC will make or break my score; hopefully it is not as bad as I think!
I FUCKING DID IT AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!
I didn't have that game. It was experimental I think.
Why would you report something like that that didn't affect you? That's just bad karma right there.
Saw your post on Reddit too (and replied there earlier!) but just wanted to say that you've got this in September! Take a rest for a week or so, make sure you don't get overloaded. You didn't waste any time studying, you've still got all that knowledge. Don't worry. :)
Bailed out after section three. Nerves got to me last night, after a perfect day of relaxation and meditation, and I ended up getting only a couple hours of sleep. This was my first attempt after 30+ PTs and months of preparation. I'm very disappointed but at least I'll be better prepared in September. That 170 won't stay away from me forever.
Anyone get an LR about Iron in Food / Parkinson's?
Very run of the mill LG. Makes me so pissed I choked and ran out of time.
RC was nullification, sociohistography, tablets/tokens, Ozone
I had 1 RC section
Woah. There’s only a few people in the world who understand quantum mechanics. And they aren’t very good at it.
This was my first attempt. I botched the games section...didn't even get to the last game.
And, I accidentally erased half a bubble filled in when they called time and couldn't refill...after I had the revelation it was correct...
The time and test anxiety were stronger than I expected. I also didn't realize we would have to wait so long to start. My test didn't start until 1:30pm. Any lessons learned today that will help in September?
@justingraham299 there have been 2 instances of a 102 raw total that I know of: pt 62 and pt 6. Annnnndddd, I just realized I know way too much about this test and have no life. hahahaha
LG was very straightforward and definitely the easiest of the 70s, although 76 was pretty easy as well. I finished almost 10 minutes early and had time to check almost every single question.
RC was pretty average difficulty I would say.
I had three LR, one harder than average and two easier than average. I'm guessing one of the easy ones was the experimental.
Shhhhhh we will let you know when it's gray day :) No worries.
While I do hope that they release them sometime this week, looks like the official release date itself is sooner this year than it was before, so the actual release might not be quite so many days earlier than scheduled.
Last year:
Test: June 8; Scheduled Jul 7 (29 days); Actual release Jul 1st; (23 days) ==> 6 days early
This year:
Test: June 6th; Scheduled June 30 (24 days).
Looks like ~23 days post test is the more typical release schedule; Oct 2015 was the shortest time in recent years (19 days).
I hope I'm wrong and they are getting faster at processing....
Basing solely on how I feel post-exam? Maybe... But feelings can be deceiving.
does anyone else agree that the June 2016 LSAT was the easiest exam we've come across?
Can we get to page 5 already?
@kr24heag726 , yeah this happens to me a lot. Reading through this thread over the last couple days, I’ve been wondering if I could recall anything so tried on my last PT without much success. I think it’s mostly because of 2009, lol, but I don’t think it’s a bad thing at all. When I finish a question or a passage or a game, I move on. Once it’s done, I no longer care that it exists; I give exclusive and intensive focus to the present question. It can be difficult to get your brain to move on from a tricky question, so I think this is healthy actually. Sounds like you’ve got moving on skills.
@jhaldy10325,"If you think you understand quantum theory...you don't understand quantum theory."-Richard Feynman lol ;)
The babblers LR was real, my experimental RC had a ridiculous comparative passage about electron orbitals and quantum mechanics.
I had a LR section with questions about hot cocoa drinking Kuna natives and traffic congestion and I had no LR experiential so it was definitely the real one.
Sure, if you're okay with LSAC potentially delaying your score too.
watching this and getting scared xD my exam is in 3 hours :)

@oliviamaeromano524 I got that question, it's not experimental. And @7sagestudentservices it was not the same question as the CEO question.
