Anyone else get to LR and just feel like they couldn't read suddenly? Overall, thought this test was a little milder than August. We'll see when the scores come out.
lolol I couldn't even take it???? the server crashed????????? And I'm having trouble getting in touch with LSAC. Anyone else in the same boat?
I know most people had issues but I was able to take it with only a minor connection issue in my last section that was fixed within 5 min!
Lol LSAC be like “I know how to stop Saturday testers from posting about the test online — let’s crash the site in the middle of the test so they don’t know what’s on the test!” Honestly screw those guys
What percent of people overall have tech problems?
does anyone know how we find out which section was the experimental section? or know of any indicators that would suggest it? i found one rc to be quite easy and the other quite difficult
Are we still allowed to use the "Ctrl+F" function on the October LSAT?
Hey, does anyone know how to make your ProctorU stop "bouncing"on Macbook whenever a proctor swaps with another Proctor? It is very distracting
Had RC - LG - RC - LR
LR was fair. LG was pretty straightforward until the last game which I pretty much guessed. My first RC had one passage about paternalistic law & working hours and was in general okay. The second RC was BRUTAL. The first two passages with about 8 questions each, and the comparative passage was about a female author (I believe) and I was totally destroyed by it. Read it twice but still couldn't answer most of the questions and ended up just guessing random answers.

Hi Juliet, where did it specify that. One of the other big LSAT prep companies didn't ban discussions, and they're in the know about this stuff.
It's a good policy for fairness, I'm just curious where where it was specified vague discussion was not permitted at all.
I have 0 idea how to feel about this exam. I had 2 RC's with LG in between and ended with LR. I feel indifferent. I feel like RC went well but I found LR to be more difficult. Ran out of time on games and completely guessed on the last four questions. Also disconnected for about an hour during the first RC section which was awful. Thinking about retaking in January.
better or worse than august ?
I feel sick waiting for this score lmao
LR - RC - LR - LG. Was I the only one who had this order? First LR had to be experimental; was 5x harder than the second LR, which was a piece of cake. The RC I had was about Paternalism, Mali, Short Stories, and Human Evolution. Tbh, this RC killed me. The passages were horribly written, dense, and the questions and ACs felt harder to grasp. I just didn't feel prepared for the rigor based on the 70s and 80s PTs, all of which I have done. LG was a piece of cake. Honestly just praying for a 160.

I felt like my vision went blurry and I forgot how sentences were made. Total blackout moment :-(
I had the fattest sigh of relief when I saw my bonus section was another thing of logic games lol
I had LG-RC-RC-LR. Fortunate to have had no proctor or connection issues.

Any one knows whether Powerscore will release a review podcast for this October LSAT?
I'm sure they will! Not sure when yet but I'm watching for it because I'm interested to listen to it!
Today (Tuesday 19th) between 12 and 2 est.
Okay I recall some details on my LR sections:
26 LR: Disease incidence in mountain and lowland oppossums, mayor using offensive terms, iron vs rock meteorites, stone tools.
25 LR: Fruit juice with added colors, moral culpability during lucid dreaming, moral behavior and severe harm.
Some other questions that I remember but don't recall which sections: firing employees at a news station to save costs, paleolithic fishing/agriculture.
If you had a single lr, please @ if any of these ring a bell. If you had dubs and both ring a bell, please lmk what topics went to which sections and if you can recall any others.

I took the exam tuesday and had LG-RC-LR-LG. I cannot figure out which LG was experimental. Can anyone with one LG give some insight? One game that sticks out had music duets with violinists and pianists I think, and it was difficult for me. I remember my RC having passages about a spanish novel being ironic and another was about a bill restricting women's labor laws. I can't remember an LR example off the top of my head, but so far I haven't seen any familiar questions on this forum. I'd probably remember if I had seen something or not.
I only had 1 LG section and it included the duet/musicians game.
Am I the only one who thought the Mali one was better than the Frederick Douglass RC?
International taker here. According to reddit, it seems that LSAC reused the LG (Security, Class Enrollment, Parade, Book Purchase) and the RC sections (Substansive justice, Paranormal, Beebop Jazz, Polyaspartate) from Feb 2013 in Asia. These two section are also used for Nov. 2017 make-up session.
Did anyone else who had the 2 LG sections feel like one was insanely difficult and one was super easy? I ran out of time and ended up bubbling in at random on the difficult one which almost never happens to me. The super easy LG had a simple sequencing question and some mixed grouping. Hopefully the hard LG was experimental? LR and RC were much easier than usual.
It's past 9 EST on 10/14. Is it cool to talk now? Just iffy because I know there's a lot of retake shenanigans going on.

Does anyone know if this will still be an option for the November?
