I just wanted to let everyone know, the "it was super hard" comments you'll see those at EVERY LSAT EXAM. Don't let it scare you.
So sorry to hear about the unfortunate encounters some have had with the exam! That said, if you are taking your test tomorrow (like myself), don't let this frazzle you. Each person will have a different encounter with the exam, and just because some struggled doesn't mean you will, too. Trust that you have done your part as much as you were able until this moment, and let tomorrow take its course. This is JUST an exam, and it's JUST one score. Not the end of the world. Good things are hard and take time, so don't let a score like this define you. You're doing great! Best of luck to everyone taking the exam--prayers going out!
Hi everyone taking the exam this weekend! I took the test today and I just want to spread some positive encouraging energy to others on their way in. I had the technical issue occur and was able to resolve it by swiftly asking my proctor in the chat to pause the exam and reset. They did and I lost some time but overall it did not destroy me. It certainly frazzled me, but it sounds like LSAC has resolved it and you all should hopefully be fine the rest of the weekend! My exam felt totally on par with recent PTs. You are as prepared for this as any other recent PT! Remember: your nerves are just reminding you that this is important to you, and you can use that to your benefit. Try to channel the nerves into positive excitement to watch yourself flow through it. It’s amazing what your brain can and will do. Trust yourself! You got this!!
What the hell was that lmao
Good Luck to everyone! Don't forget to breath!
Had 2 RC's as well. First RC felt somewhat easy but last RC felt like a doozy. One game of LG really messed me up so I'm bummed about that and there were about 5 solid questions on LR that stumped me as well. Oh well... January here I come! LOL
Just got out of my test a few minutes ago. DON'T READ IN TO THE HORROR STORIES. You have NOTHING to fear!
Positive experience here: no issues at all on Firefox on PC. Proctor was kind and only messed with my mouse once during the test, briefly. LG were very straightforward, borderline easy (although I think I missed a silly one). I had one LR section first that was tough but another that was a total breeze. RC is challenging I won't lie to you, but really only one passage is above average difficulty and the others are very easy to follow.
I was so nervous last night, doomscrolling all the forums, but honestly I feel pretty good about my test overall. People worry like this on every test. You've got this!

I know you’re trying to be encouraging but for me this test is the difference between having a minimum wage job and having a shot at a 200k+ per year career so I am damned nervous.
Don't get me wrong--it's much easier said than done, and I say this with my heart rate higher than the roof. But there have been people that studied day and night, done all they can, and still underperformed. My point is: things will not always go our way. There are times they can, and times they can't. But the key to success isn't getting it right from the first time (although that's nice), but to keep on going if you want it bad enough and for the right reasons. It seems, from your response, that you DO want it and are doing your best. That's enough. Yes, a score still matters, but things work out for the best in due time to those that are faithful in what they do and patient with the process. Breathe. You got this and will be the best dang attorney they've ever seen!
LR-RC-LG-RC. Reeeeaaaallly curious what the curve is gonna look like for this one.
Alright looks like the ban is over, so I'll post the contents of my exam and maybe they'll be useful to somebody.
LR-RC-LG-RC
LR: 26 questions. Few topics I can remember: goats in the fertile crescent/Azerbaijan, sperm whales and orcas in different regions, patterns for popular startup companies, something about coal. A little on the hard side? Felt like there were some tricky questions, moreso than usual but I'm pretty bad at discerning LR difficulty.
RC: Functional extinction, Rap/Rakim, redoing psych experiments, neuroimaging. Not too bad? Maybe a single tricky question per passage but nothing crazy.
LG: I never remember the first game, presentations, Assignment of senior VPs to juniors, Wed/Thursday Work Schedules. First three were fine but I can see how the third can be tricky. Had to brute force most of the last but thankfully finished with time. Pretty fundamental section with some tricky rules. I think knowing when to skip and when to trust your gut was key here.
RC: Indigenous sovereignty, work hours & consumerism, whig history, hydrogen cars. Probably leaning on the difficult side, especially the first passage and maybe the third passage. Key was definitely spending more time on the questions than the passage.
From what it looks like online, the last RC was probably real? Honestly pretty ambivalent as to which one is the experimental. All I'm hoping was that I went -0/-1 on LG and my LR+RC wasn't too bad. Honestly predicting the last RC will tip the curve -1 but doubt the LG and LR will adjust the curve in any way. Will just have to wait Thursday for Powerscore's curve prediction.
I'm feeling a bit shaken after that.
Hi everyone! Congrats on finishing the exam! I didn't experience any technical issues, but I ate something I was allergic to the night before and was up from like 4 AM - noon throwing up on and off! I just wanted to say how much a positive mindset helped me get through it. I like to workout or run before studying and have before every single practice test, but today I couldn't. I also couldn't eat anything because of the allergic reaction I had, and I had my day planned to every 15 minute interval! That all went out the window, but by reminding myself that I have studied for hundreds of hours, and that not having food in my system, or not sticking to my typical routine, could not supersede the amount of work I put in, I was able to stay positive. I just kept reminding myself that this is why I put in the extra hours, just in case of a curveball. So try to trust your training, and remind yourself that even if there's a "curveball", you've worked hard enough to get a base-hit regardless! The time spent studying is the most important part, and all that work is done!
You guys GOT THIS! Remember how much work you have put in to this point! We can do it!
I took the test yesterday and used Firefox and had a horrible experience with tech issues. Glad i am not the only one.
Side note: For People who get up here and say that your test is hard how about keep that to yourselves until others have taken the test after Tuesday. It’s people on here who you could possibly make nervous, that’s kind of like transferring your fears onto another because you didn’t like how the test made you feel or it messed with your confidence. Keep that negativity to yourself.
For the people who have not taken the test yet, I pray all goes well and you rock this test. You studied and you have done all you could do. This test is not make or break and if you feel like it is, please get over yourself lol. Don’t let miserable people bring you down. Keep grinding! We all will get to where we need to be. Just have faith, discipline, consistency, perseverance, and patience. You will make it. If you’ve ever been through struggles in life you will not let this test make you crazy like i often see on this thread. Be well 🙏🏿😎
I had two LRs. The first one was a bit tough and the second one was easier. I wonder which one was the experimental.
LG-LR-LG-RC.
I had LR-RC-LG-RC
I actually thought the LR was on the tougher side (not impossible, but I struggled a bit more than I'm used to), the first RC was so easy but the second I thought was tough. I'm really really hoping the first RC was the actual one and that the second was the experimental. The LG was fine, nothing crazy.
Good luck to everyone who us about to take it, and to everyone who has- congrats on finishing! :)
I had 2 RC sections.

Brutal
@jessicakeedi500 Dave Killoran said on Twitter that he'll give his curve predictions on Thursday. Now we wait... lol
MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN - Thats how I feel
@steperez05633 that is so awful. i'm so sorry. i feel like LSAC needs to overhaul the ProctorU relationship or offer people meaningful alternatives to promptly retake the test when this kind of thing goes down. it is sickening that people work so hard for this test and then have the whole experience taken out of their control.
uh oh. I am starting to see a common theme here.
To any November retakers out there, don’t stress! I had no more technical issues and test was just another test. You’ve got this!!
