Hey guys! Here's the official Feb. LSAT Discussion Thread. Please keep all discussions of the Feb. 2017 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 Feb. '17 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 Feb's LSAT!

Agree question #2
My test was LR RC LR LR LG. I know others who also had an experimental LR but with different ordering. Also, I do not think we can be certain that even if there is parallel ordering each sections' questions are the same. Furthermore, is it not possible that there were multiple LR experimental sections? But the above are really tangential questions. My main question is: removed for too much info.

unfortunately this doesn't help unless you know for fact that good treats was with a real, identified question. I'm leaning towards it being experimental though it seems many got it for their experimental section

goodtreatz was real
I do not remember anything about goodtreatz lol

Creasey but did you have 2 LRs or 3
goodtreatz was real
Yeah but that list only contains only a fraction of the 52 real LR questions.
@meaganknuth369 Check out Dillon's compilation of real vs experimental:)

Also, bikes & motor accidents - was that real?
One person talked about it but it doesn't seem confirmed, was the LR section that had a GoodTreatz question for #1 Real or Experimental?
That sucks. Sorry to hear that. I was in a similar position after the December LSAT. Left an entire game blank because of time and anxiety. The only thing I can tell you is to learn from it. What I learned from it was to bubble everything left when the proctor calls 5 minutes, and then change what I bubbled as I solved the questions. Even if I didn't get to all the questions in time, I still had a 1/5 chance of getting it right. I did that for every section, even if I felt like I would have plenty of time at the end. No point in taking chances.
The stress and pressure of test day doesn't compare to taking a Pt at home. Now that you've experienced that you can only do better next time. If you're gonna apply next cycle, you always have the option to cancel your score (if you think you really, really bombed it, because I think it still counts as a take).

Hello guys, I took the LSAT this past Saturday as well and I had 3 LR sections. Personally I felt extremely intimidated by the LG section and RC, which was extremely disappointing to my psyche as I consider those my strongest sections. I had a serious lapse of judgement with my timing during RC and ended up leaving 4-5 questions blank as the Proctor had said 'Pencils down.' That absolutely killed me, I spent the next 3 sections worrying about the empty questions I had left, after all a 20% chance of being right was better than nothing. This extra worrying in combination with test day anxiety seriously hindered my performance on the remaining sections. Really disappointed in myself, considering calling it quits.

I had 2 LG sections and the only question that gave me trouble was about 3 projects that would take 1, 2 or 3 weeks to complete and students were assigned to the projects. Anyone know if this game was real or experimental?
It's real and gave me trouble as well. I'm sooo mad at myself because looking back on it, it wasn't hard at all. I expected there to be hard games and screwed myself over with that mindset. Been sad for days now....:'(
Same. It wasn't hard at all I just didn't have enough time. This one appeared on my second lg section. My first one was so easy that I knew it had to be too good to be true :(

It was a real game. It was together with Gold Vase game. I had 2 LG as well and these games were part of my 5th section.

A quick question as well, someone had mentioned this LSAT was an undisclosed exam? Does this mean we do not have the opportunity of challenging questions?

I had two 3 LR sections, 1 LG and 1 RC. Logic Games was last. I was feeling optimistic about the test until I came across LG. I completely bombed that section. It was horrid.
Same. How did you feel about the RC?
@mrswil22688 said:
I'm nervous just reading these post. Is it true that the FEB exam is the most intimidating ?
Having just taken it, I would say that it is difficult knowing that I will never be able to clarify what the correct ACs are.
All testers go in blind, but for all other tests, you get the relief of seeing your scantron and the test questions afterward. If you would be okay with never knowing what questions you missed, then there's really no other difference. For me, it just leaves a lot more room for speculation.
