Hey 7Sagers,
Here's the official January 2019 LSAT Discussion Thread.
**Please keep all discussions of the January 2019 LSAT here!**(/red)
Rules:
✅ You can identify experimental sections. 🙆♀️
You can say things such as the following:
“I had two LGs! Was the LG with "flowers" real or experimental?” “I had two RCs! Was the section that starts with the honeybee passage real?”“I had three LRs! Does anyone know if the first LR section with the goose question is real?” ❌ You can't discuss specific questions. 🙅♂️
You CANNOT say things such as the following:
“Hey, the 3rd LG was sequencing and the last one was In/Out, right?” (Don't mention the game type)“The last question in the first LR section was a lawgic heavy MBT! Was the answer (B)?” (Don't mention the question type or ask what the answer was)“What was the answer for the last question of RC? I think it was an inference question? Was the answer (C)?” (Don't mention the question type or ask what the answer was)Have fun discussing!

When can we start getting results? My nerves are killing me
For the November test the email came in in waves. It started at about 9:00AM.

Yes, same order!

I'm just hoping I grinded out enough LG answers... If I did, a good law school is in my future. Does any one remember how many questions the real LG's section had?
23
On all the recent tests I have done great. November was really easy for me, but January killed me for some reason I'm hoping for 4 points lower than normal

I'm studying for March and I had a tough time with this set of LGs. What types would you be working on. Sequencing with twist, and grouping sequencing combo?
Yeah, those types sound about right.
I’m also signed up for a March retake. Definitely going to be focusing on the most recent tests! ... Lots of little twists on standard games.
I didn’t have much trouble on games, but I did find myself brute forcing more than I’m used to. I’m sure part of it was nerves, but my goodness I felt like that set had a lot of naked CBTs. I think my ability to stay calm and draw out quick hypos made a big difference for me on this section of games.

I just got a follow up email (I received the first email the day after the exam-obviously I didn’t respond) from LSAC about my lsat experience..... why?

That LSAT scared me.

Everyone say the test was hard so we can get a -15 curve
Is there precedent for this?
I wouldn't be suprised if the makers of LSAT got online and studied the comments about the test. It happens in school and judging by how rudimentry/ghetto the testing centers were it would not suprise me if they did this instead of using actual statistics about the test to find the curve.
I promise you that online forum comments have zero impact on the curve.

I am confused as to which LR section was my experimental? I had LR-RC-LR-LR-LG.
I had a total of 25 questions for each LR section, 27 for RC, and 23 for LG.
I have LR- RC- LR- LG- LR and also did not have a LR section with 26 questions. Do you have the same order?
Are you sure about that? I think one of the real sections was 26 questions..

I'm pretty sure the curve is predetermined, like they design the test as being a "-11" or "-12" test before hand during the process (aka its a -10 test regardless of how people do). Costs about a million dollars to make one test so they put A LOT of research into each curve. This is what i've heard from others so i'm not 100%

@nehap01079747
My first two LR sections were not too difficult...something with a drunk grandpa and the fast runner...
The third LR was crazy, but I confirmed it was the experimental on another forum. I think my 3rd LR had something about Chimpanzees? Or maybe that was my second LR, not sure -_-
@chillout34320 same!!!!!
Why is everyone saying LR was hard? I thought they were the easiest LR's I have taken.. now I'm starting to think I'm just overconfident about it.
