Yoohoo 7Sagers!
My name is Pacaque and @"J.Y. Ping" anointed me the official LSAT predictor. I'm here to make predictions about the November 2018 LSAT. I'm not just any macaque. I'm a Celebes crested macaque and that means I can see into the future. I like to eat a lot of fruits but every once in a while, I'll have some protein too, whatever I can find crawling around. Oh and another thing. I get calls from people in Pennsylvania asking all sorts of intrusive questions about me and my mates. Like what kind of alarms call we give to warn each other of predators and how intimate our babies are with their mothers ???🐵??? This is weird for me. But enough about me.
I know you all are nervous about the upcoming test. I want to give you a hug. And I want to gift you the knowledge of my foresight. Therefore, I predict the following:
curve: -10.6
number of flaw questions on both LR: 7
number of mss questions on both LR: 4
number of sequencing games: 2
number of grouping games: 2
number of total LSAT questions: 101
number of passages on the law: 1
number of questions having something to do with monkeys: at least 1
Woah woah woah, you're thinking. All these specific, precise, and falsifiable predictions? Pacaque, you're really going out on a precarious limb there.
I know! But I'm a monkey. I'm good with limbs. And this way, when PrepTest 86 is released, we can check these predictions and you'll see why Nostradamus can't hold a candle to Paqacue the Prediction Macaque.
And I have one more prediction. I predict that you too have the power to predict the November 2018 LSAT. After all, you've done like what 30+ PrepTests? There's nothing you haven't already seen. You, my furless friend, are set. I invite you to join me in making predictions. If you turn out to be right, we can eat a banana together. 🍌

Good monkey.
I swear... if there's a reading section about monkeys on there, and I bust up laughing in the middle of the test, I'm blaming JY.
I actually had to suppress a laugh when the bonobos monkey question came up
The results are in.
And you, @turnercm409, you did about as well as a monkey would.
Despite everyone's early congratulations on your predicting the "monkey question," I'm not giving you a banana for that one. Repeat after me, "I, a macaque, am a monkey. Chimps, bonobos, and J.Y. Ping are hominids." But you already knew that didn't you? Sneaky little monkey.
Here are the salient results:
curve: -10
LG types: 1 hybrid sequencing/grouping; 2 sequencing; 1 miscellaneous/sort of sequencing
total number of questions: 99
RC subjects: archaeology-science; movies-humanities/art; law-philosophy; physics-science
number of flaw questions on both sections: 8
number of mss questions on both sections: 2
@turnercm409
curve: -10.6 | wrong by .6 points
number of flaw questions on both LR: 7 | wrong by 1 question
number of mss questions on both LR: 4 | wrong by 2 questions
number of sequencing games: 2 | right
number of grouping games: 2 | wrong, no pure grouping games
number of total LSAT questions: 101 | wrong by 2 questions
number of passages on the law: 1 | right
number of questions having something to do with monkeys: 1 | hurts doesn't it?
total number of bananas: 🍌🍌 but +🍌 because you're my monkey and I like you
@turnercm409
at least one biology passage | wrong
total number of bananas: 🍌, for daring to make only 1 prediction
@cmarolda1791
-11 curve | wrong, off by 1 point
at least 7 flaw questions total, but maybe 4 per section for a total of 8. | right
total number of bananas: 🍌
@cdaddario2318
curve: -12 | wrong by 2 points
number of flaw questions on both LR: 6 | wrong, off by 2 questions
number of mss questions on both LR: 5 | wrong, off by 3 questions
number of sequencing games: 1 | wrong, off by 1
number of grouping games: 2 | wrong, off by 2
number of total LSAT questions: 100 | wrong, off by 1 question
at least one question that involves sufficiency and necessity | right, s1.q15, two bananas for this one
curve breaker MBT question | wrong
total number of bananas: 🍌🍌
@jhaldy10325
curve: -12 | wrong, off by 2

number of grouping games: 1 | wrong, no pure grouping games
number of total LSAT questions: 101 | wrong
number of mapping game: 1 | will assume you meant miscellaneous game, right
total number of bananas: 🍌🍌
@mariecavery809
number of mapping game: 1 | will assume you meant miscellaneous game, right
total number of bananas: 🍌, and +🍌 for daring to make only one prediction and getting it right
@mmckeon993
A writing prompt about... A guy that wants to open a pizzeria | wrong
total number of bananas: 🍌, for daring to make only 1 prediction
@jhaldy10325
RC passage about CRISPR | wrong
10 flaw questions | wrong, off by 2
number of basic pattern game: 1 | will assume you meant miscellaneous game, right

@476
curve: -12.0 | wrong, off by 2

number of sequencing games: 2 | right
number of grouping games: 1 | wrong
number of total LSAT questions: 102 | wrong, off by 3
RC Passages: 1 Law, 2 Humanities, 1 Hard Science | almost! 1 law, 2 science, 1 humanities, will give 1 banana
number of questions having something to do with monkeys: 100. | haha
Pattern Game modeled on the Monkeys on the Bed nursery rhyme. | ???
total number of bananas: 🍌🍌🍌
That's all folks! @turnercm409 will be back for the next disclosed LSAT administration which will take place in June of 2019. Enjoy your bananas!
I predict there will be two LR sections, one LG, one RC, an experimental section and .... A writing prompt about... A guy that wants to open a pizzeria and he can't choose between two locations, and the benefits and cons of each location.
And I also predict someone on this thread will get a 174.
Lol the monkey question prediction was dead on. Pacaque is a legend now

I struggled. Open it to the first page, and Bam! Monkeys.

I know I won't get anything even close to a 174. But I shall post here for some of that good luck, haha!

Good monkey.
I'm done :joy:
@mariecavery809 said:
What does the curve mean?
Curve is how many you miss to get a 170. So a curve of -11 is a more “forgiving” curve than one of -9. The problem is, the bigger the curve the harder the test!
This is the best. My prediction is that we'll have at least one biology passage (and I really, really hope it's a passage about monkeys).
Thanks Pacaque & JY!
Together, by scoring 180 on the LSAT, we shall rise and show these humans that all primates ought to be treated equally.
I get calls from people in Pennsylvania asking all sorts of intrusive questions about me and my mates. Like what kind of alarms call we give to warn each other of predators and how intimate our babies are with their mothers ???????
I just got this :joy:
Oh and I also predict that there will be at least one question that involves sufficiency and necessity!
I’m going to call an RC passage about CRISPR. It’s overdue.
10 flaw questions.
I want to predict something interesting about LG, but just not feeling it. Maybe a basic pattern game, but nothing too weird.
:joy:
@mariecavery809 what's a mapping logic game?
If there isn't a law passage about the macaque selfie lawsuit, I'll be upset.
Those are some bold predictions. Some other company said we'll probably have grouping and sequencing games. I was like, "Really?? No way!" (;

Damnit, JY. You and your monkeys. Of course there would be monkeys... :lol:
I have a feeling that there will be a curve breaker MBT question.
please predict the writing prompt thats why we are all here
I would never have got my score without Pacaque thank you for guiding my hand to the right answers

🍌, for daring to make only 1 prediction
I can't believe our tags have been updated with 🍌 😂😂
ahhh hahaha I just saw that lol
