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!

Good luck to all my fellow 7sagers!! Remember stay calm and read carefully. We can and WILL get through this. We are prepared and we will go in tomorrow and OWN that test!
I just want to share that I got my goal score! Improved 20 points over two years and this was my third take. I wrote the September exam as well and was devastated to score only a point higher than my first take two years prior. I'm a 29 y.o. mom to a toddler, I spent so much time away from him in order to study, and this just validates all of that work.
If there's one humble piece of advice I can offer to anyone looking to improve their score, it's to study with and tutor others who are below your current level. I'm convinced it made the difference for me between the September and November administrations and only wish I'd done it sooner.
Wishing everyone the best today!
The SA question about university and night school ... felt like I overthought that so much - any ideas what the approach would have been with percentages in that case
I found the RC pretty challenging and the last LR game. I hope it doesn't mess up my score terribly :(

I had LR, LG, LR, LR, RC
Same order for me. That first LR was a killer - and indeed “flow” felt weird
Happy with my November score, my first and only LSAT test. I got a 9 point increase from diagnostic after only about 2 months of reasonably light studying a few weeknights per week, and doing 5 PTs throughout November. Thanks 7sage!

Can anyone tell me what the dimensions are for the scratch paper booklet you are given? It's it the standard letter size (8.5x11)? I want to make sure my diagramming isn't taking up too much space during the actual exam. Thanks!
I found there to be an abundance of scratch paper. It was an A4-sized booklet with several pages, I didn't count but I would guess at least 10 double sided leafs. I probably used about 5% of the space. My efforts to learn to write very small and compact were in vain, in the exam I felt like I could have written obnoxiously large diagrams and still had some breathing room. In fact someone near me was doing exactly that - literally dragging their pencil across entire pages like they were trying to cut the book in half. Not at all what I expected!

Just want to say I was pleasantly surprised by the tablets. Perhaps I got quite lucky, but I did not experience any of the gripes many others reported with the tablet. It seemed brand new, easy to use, the angle was highly adjustable and the screen was responsive. My only very minor complaint is that it was so light that I had to grip it to avoid sliding around the desk, and every now and then I would accidentally highlight the wrong word due to not touching the right spot - something I experienced on my own tablet as often. I am also very happy that the LSAC test interface is almost identical to what I am used to from 7sage, it was a seamless transition to use it.
If you're taking it again, I found a life hack! My proctors handed out those screen cleaning wipes. After I used it on the screen, I laid it out under my tablet and it kept it from slipping. :smile:
I've been driving my ford windstar brain like it was a ferrari all day!
is anyone else brain mush? i can't even remember the content!!
I had LR, LG, LR, LR, RC
9 point increase for the November lsat from last year. Thanks 7sage for all your help!

Wait can someone help me: I had 2 lg sections. 1st section- something with S is the third; 2nd- assigning colors for the fourth game. Some people with 1 lg section told me they didn’t have colors but some did. Which is the real one??😲
1st one is real.
They probably don’t remember that the letters were colors but there was definitely a grouping game with colors.
Real lg according to powerscore
Real Logic Games (not necessarily in order)
Adding ingredients to make soup/food
Scheduling 5 people over 7 months
Computer repair/tech assignments
Inspectors visiting different countries in different months
Other real sections: https://forum.powerscore.com/lsat/viewtopic.php?t=31546
Guys as someone who was personally victimized by the September logic games section I can’t tell you how happy I am that the second LG section was experimental. I thought it was real and that I had faced a repeat of September (I also had the experimental LG for that exam, which had been easy for me). For whatever reason the real LG section completely clicked for me this time, and I may knocking on every piece of wood I can find be in 170 territory.
I thought the real RC (early non-fiction films) was brutal, the experimental was much easier.
Any guesses on the curve for this one?
I only had 2 LR. I remember a question about rodents, democracy and literacy, milk and antibiotics.
Hope everyone did well!
Any thoughts on LR? Found quite difficult.
Does anyone remember the first question of each of the real LR sections?
Definitely bombed one of my three. Thanks.
Good luck to everyone taking the exam!
I got it. 6 point improvement. thanks 7 sage. good enough for where im applying.

The RC overall was terrible, and on top of that they changed the testing center two hours before my exam. Definitely felt like it was a harder exam than usual.
I had 3 ARs, 1 LG, 1 RC.
I finished the LG in 19 minutes and even had time to check all my answers - I took the now infamous Sept 2019 test with the extremely difficult LG, so I’m glad I nailed this one. I could see how the 4th game could mess people up, but I made a couple good inferences at the beginning so I was able to answer all the questions quickly. The RC was more difficult for me -especially the microchip one, but I think I did Decent on it overall. Hoping for a better score than last time!!
@jams61444920 i had one LG. no puzzle with colors. REAL LG; s 3rd, recipe, trip to india.

@13dk8371 I only had one games section the second game had jalapeños in it ( and I can’t believe that the only thing I remember) and the final game had Indian France and Ghana :)
Jalapenos is the soup game
Feeling very confident in 170+ after this exam. I thought it was very average to below average difficulty. The only hard part for me was the fourth logic game.
