I hate volcanoes. All I have for them is hate. Jazz sucks too, and I hope everyone forgets the history of it. And I'm going to make it my personal mission to make sure no parks or roads ever get grants again...
Basically, I don't think I did well.
Good luck everyone testing over the next few days! You have put in a lot of hard work! Don't doubt yourself now, you normally do better than you think!
May the LSAT gods be with you!
Anyone else considering signing up for the June already without even seeing their score results yet?
I felt like 7sage prepared me for every single Logic Game except for the ones on the test today.
RC felt easy (maybe because I loved the subjects they were about).
LR felt normal.
I do not feel entirely confident about the test today but I feel proud that I finally took the actual LSAT for the first time.

I had the opposite feeling about LG. I finished with 11 minutes to spare and verified all my answer choices for each game. Maybe this was a product of playing through 10 very tough/unusual games on Thursday but nothing about LG felt overly difficult as the setups all seemed conventional to me.
RC was the most difficult in my opinion. I think I struggled with the first passage which shook my confidence a little bit moving forward.
LR seemed more or less like a typical PT but I struggled to focus a little bit, especially early in the section - probably test day nerves.
Definitely agree with Julia's comment about being happy to have finished the test but doubting my score more than the typical PT.
What games did you practice? I am taking it on Tuesday and would love to do some of those too.
I did:
PT2 games 3 and 4
PT7 game 3
PT15 game 2
PT21 game 4
PTF97 game 4
PT25 game 2 and 3
PT79 game 4
PT88 game 3 and 4
Congratulations to everyone who just finished! I postponed my test date to June and am now dealing with feelings of regret and envy for those who took the plunge. I wish I were done and I admire all of you!

I got a 173. After almost a year, I'm free at last :)
LG was probably the easiest section I've ever seen. I'm actually worried this tightened the scale. RC was 9/10 if not 10/10 difficulty. LR was standard.
That marks three times in a row for me where I've had very easy LG and very hard RC- my worst combination. I'm sure others have similar experiences. The luck of this exam, luck that determines admissions, scholarships, and debt, never ceases to amaze and anger me. I think section luck needs to be talked about more- it matters so much.
This is the last one for me, everyone. Glad to move on. I hope you all got the scores you needed.
LG was definitely easiest: Basic sequencing, sequencing with a twist, basic grouping, double layer sequencing. If you did enough practice with these types of games, you will probably be fine. RC was hard, especially the passage about Mexican murals. LR was so weird: 4 disagreement questions. I have never seen so many of this particular type of questions on any LR before.
LG was rough for me lol and I usually get perfect on that section...yikes
For those about to LSAT, we salute you.
Order was LR RC LG for me. Had a hard time focusing on LR since it's the first section, but in terms of difficulty, it's on par with the mid to late 80s. There were 26 questions, and one of the late 20s was an intense curvebreaker. Games 3 and 4 are unusual at first glance but manageable. I skipped the third game then came back to finish it with time to spare. RC was the hardest for me. Topics were Mexican murals, bike trials, volcanoes, and IP law in that order. Last passage was comparative and really difficult. Hopefully the curve is generous but I doubt it will be.
Crazy feeling to be done!! Hoping for no negative surprises with my score! Definitely more self-doubt after this one than normal PTs, but I believe that is to be expected.
Hi Avocat 2021
I think we received completely different tests.
Does anyone have thoughts on how this test fares compared to May Flex and PT87?
Shitty experience. My 3rd take. The proctor booted me out of the test in the middle of my reading comprehension section as they claimed my video feed was off. The green light next to my built-in camera was on the whole time. Doesn't make sense to me. Anyhow, thanks to this I was out of the test for 3-4 minutes while they reestablished the feed. Wonderful way to ruin my retention of the passage I was working on. Will be filling out a complaint form but don't know if I'll have any luck getting a retake. Thoughts from anyone with experience requesting a retake would be much appreciated.
@ingramc2297 In the LSAC e-mail they sent prior to registration, they state that all scores will be released on Thursday, April 29th at 9:00 a.m. EST provided you have a completed writing sample.
agreed - LG was harder
I just finished at 1 pm today.
LR- Questions in the 20s were super long, I had to guess on a few which was super frustrating
RC- Jazz, volcanoes, bike trails, comparative IP law
LG- I don't remember the first 2, engineers, grants
The last part of LR was seriously so hard and it's usually my best section. I had to guess on questions and I've never had to do that in practice. The last 6 or so questions were all a paragraph in length (if I remember correctly), and each answer choice was multiple+ lines long. I couldn't get to everything in time which really psyched me out for the first passage of my next section, RC. My first passage was the jazz one that everyone is talking about. The only easy-medium passage I felt like was the the cyclist/park one. Logic games were okay, but the third and fourth ones used game boards I wasn't very familiar with and I've taken dozens of prep tests. Overall, I am SCARED. It was harder than the October and November tests in my opinion. I'm trying to get off waitlists, and I'm wondering if a lower score would hurt my chances or be neutral?
Hoping for the best for everyone.

I feel the same way! LG felt a little harder than normal PT's.
Feeling disappointed today - was scoring around the 160-163 mark on PT’s and logged in this morning to a 157 April test score. Will be retaking in June as I need a 160 at least for my target schools. This was my first time taking it, and I signed up for score preview. What are everyone’s thoughts on keeping or canceling the score? Not sure what to do! Also any tips on staying motivated to keep studying for another month??? Ugh!!!
I started studying hard for the lsat around thanksgiving of last year. On the February test, I was skeptical about how well I did and to my surprise I got a 162 (a competitive score at most of my target schools). The past 2 months, I had been consistently pt’ing in the 159-164 range so I went into the April test thinking I could maybe do a little better or at least show that the first one wasn’t a fluke. I initially felt good about how I did, so I was extremely shocked and disappointed to see that on my second test I got a 155... I don’t know what the fuck happened. Should I take it a third time? Should I cut my losses and just say it was a bad day? Any advice is appreciated.
@luongcody297 understanding what you can and cannot control helped me relax, sleep, and stay calm. You have studied hard, put in the work, and exhausted yourself preparing for this exam; you've done all you can control.
The content on the exam is out of your control. While uncertainty is nerve-wracking, you have taken the steps necessary within your control to prepare. You are not simply taking the LSAT tomorrow, you are attacking it. You've studied and created strategies to set the conditions for yourself to win. While you don't know the exact questions you're going to see, you are taking the test on your terms thanks to the preparation, not the LSATs. You're well prepared and should be confident in your preparation and yourself. You can do this.
Dude! What was up with those logic games?! To me, this test was like harder-than-average on LG and RC. Some of the answers were So similar! Blah! Has anyone felt like they did not do well, but ended up doing well? Last time, I ran out of time and guessed for a lot of my questions; this time, at least I made a reasonable, thoughtful choice for each "guess."
