Hey 7Sagers,
Here's the official January 2020 LSAT Discussion Thread.
**Please keep all discussions of the January 2020 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)

I took practice test #60 today and realized that one of the RC passages was on the January 2020 LSAT I sat for. Does anyone else remember this? It was a passage about art forgery. Is it common for LSAC to repeat passages or questions from prior test?
You guys any tips for us that are taking the exam in March! 😢
If you do remember the game or find something similar do you mind tagging me in it please. The next time I see this type of game I want to ready to know how to do it. @pardeepparhar138

For the beer LG game, is there an analog question for it in past PrepTests (I am sure there are, but I can't find any off the top of my head).

Did anyone else have LG (23), LR (25), LR (25), LR (26), RC? If so, do you know which LR of the 25 LRs was the real one?

Hi does anyone with 2 LRs remember a Romeo and Juliet fill-in-the-blank question? Was that experimental?
I had 2 LR's and I remember this question

on the "easy" one? hard to say, i don't remember much, but I know there was a question involving rattlesnakes and squirrels, and I believe there was one about monkeys yawning, one about either high/low blood pressure or h/l cholesterol. the rest is a blur.
I remember those, I think that was my first LR. It also had one about side dishes. Do you remember an LR question about cars/buses parking or driving after 7PM?
yeah something like along the lines of "parking isn't allowed at X time or on X day, and you can park only when...", i do remember something like that
@branigansatterfield634 Thanks!
10000 different types of beer
Unfortunately the question about parking after 7 pm was real. It was a parallel flaw question which I think I missed.

I do remember one much harder LR, but I thought my third LR was experimental because I found it way too easy to be true. I always expect it to get rough once I hit question like 15, yet I just kind of breezed through 15-21 and was like "huh? that's it?". Turns out that LR was real, so one of my first 2 wasn't (maybe the harder one).
Which question subjects were on here?

Only 2 LR, I remember that question so it was real.

I had LR, LG, LR, RC, LR...I think the first LR was experimental. The arguments seemed weird and kind of messed me up a bit until I saw the other 2 LR sections and think the first can't be real. The last game threw me a bit...I should have known better because I've done that style of game before :(

for those who had 3 LR passages, did you find the experimental LR more difficult? I honestly can't remember which one question appeared where cause it's all a blur now but I remember one section being more difficult than the other 2. Happened to be my first section too so I'm not sure if it's because I hadn't warmed up sufficiently yet.
I feel like the questions identified as experimental were ones I had trouble with so I'm praying I didn't mess up a real LR section.
Felt the same way as you. I had 3 LR’s, first one being my second section after LG. I felt like it was harder than the other 2 LR’s. I also don’t remember any questions on it but I don’t recognize any of the “real” questions being posted here as part of that first one. So I’m hoping it was the experimental.
@riverchaz27 my brain was definitely done toward the end. I could deal with LR as the 4th section. But having RC as the 5th section buried me, especially with the difficulty level. I’m just hoping RC doesn’t destroy my score. I’m really not feeling a retake 😂

Seeing how everyone found the real RC section hard I’m really starting to question my understanding of the passages. I think I just got an overall understanding of the passages and just answered the questions from there. RC is a weird and inconsistent section for me. Anywhere between -4 and -13 LOL
@chiuduncan26 yes I didn’t even have time to look at the questions. I circled the same letter for all the six questions LOL. If I’m lucky I can get 2/6 lmao. I think I spent a good 9 mins just trying to figure out what kind of board I’d need for this game. If I remember correctly I had 11-12 mins left when I got to the last game.
First game was easy, second game was alright, third game was long as hell.
After that section I took a solid minute to pray to the lsat lords. :(:(:(:( man I even considered walking out cause I got whooped so bad by the first section
@meganyoung78282 said:
@erinmcgrath1621961 I agree, I've never encountered RC that difficult in a practice test. In my opinion, each passage was a struggle to fully understand. I had two RC sections and the fifth section (2nd RC) was my graded RC. I'm not confident about that section at all, my experimental was definitely better.
Booo! I felt the same way! I was feeling so solid with everything up until the break, and then that last RC whooped me. I don't even know how to prep for sections like that because I just felt like every passage was a ball buster - but maybe I was just toast after the four sections before it.

I apologize if this question doesn't really belong in here, but I was wondering if someone could give me insight on how similar 7sage's digital PT's are to the actual LSAT. Any insight will be much appreciated!
Hey @alinnazarian954, the digital PTs on 7Sage are quite similar to the real ones. You can collapse answer choices, eliminate them or restore them by taping on the answer choices beside it, and you can highlight, make the font bigger or smaller, adjust the brightness, see the timer, and erase highlights. I would practice on digital PTs on 7Sage as a simulation for the real thing.
The 4th game on my only LG - the brewery one - was insanely hard. Anyone else think so?
