Good luck to everyone taking the June LSAT!

Doesn't seem fair to me that some folks were told which section was experimental while some weren't. I don't care if they need it for researching the future of logic games, it's not a standardized testing experience when some are told which sections are experimental and others are not.
Weird LSAT Experiance - LR-LG-RC-TOLD Experimental?
I had LR which I found very difficult but I think I pulled through. LG was harder, but not crazy, then RC was quite easy. BUT my last section was a experimental that was a variation on logic games with survey questioins. Did anyone else get this? It was told in BOLD this is an unscored section, and it seemed like they were testing something new? Lemme know if this happened to anyone else?
@atticusbinch00884 Seems like everyone above who had that kind of section had it last, so they wouldn't know until the end
LG-LR-RC-LR
I usually am pretty good with LG and get the games done within the time but the 3rd and 4th game ate up my time making me guess on a couple of questions. I hope the first LR was the experiment for me. I don’t know if I couldn’t focus because I was so mad about my LG performance or if it was harder then the other LR section.
RC LG RC LR
First RC had a game on a political leader being flexible with morality. Also had a science passage talking about the life of stars equation to the life of galaxies and how scientific simulations aren’t advanced enough to predictably estimate information about the galaxies. Also discussed Newtonian (sp) fluid? Felt confident in this section and LG.
Second RC section was harder for me, but possibly because RC is not my favorite section on the LSAT and I had already pushed through one RC section. Had topic on plants adapting to native & non-native surroundings…
LR was more difficult for me, but again I feel that going through two RC sections probably contributed to it.
The first RC section killed me, second one was much better
LG felt pretty straightforward nothing crazy
LR was also difficult for me! flagged more qs than usual
good luck everyone :)
I had LG/LR/RC/LR
The logic games started fine but third and fourth game came out of nowhere for me, game 4 had a team thing I never really figured out.
Two Lr first was HARD second was okay, and my RC seemed decent.
Really hope the first LR was expiremental. congrats to everyone for finishing. This exam sucks and it doesn't get any easier.
Best of luck!
I took the international yesterday. I believe the unscored was the first and it was pretty hard. I ended with LR and that is also hard! To LSATMaster89: i dont think anything about the LSAT is fair OR easy!!
But my overall feeling: relief and gratitude. I did it!!!! 😊🙌
@atticusbinch00884 I agree with you and let’s face it, the LSAT is not fair. I’m seeing that for the June test, some people had their exam kicked off with an extremely difficult RC section. Those people have to wonder for the entire rest of the test, was that experimental? It’s also a big confidence zapper. So certainly compared with having an easy survey at the end, that exam was difficult. I also think the test I took was “easier” (less stressful) based on comments I’m seeing. In my opinion, small factors like section order and the difficulty of the experimental section can affect scores. That’s the LSAT roulette.

I had this order and the survey LG section. I was so confused.
RC-LG-RC-LR
Am the only one who was sweating on logic game #3? I couldn't push out any inferences and was forced to brute force. I'm glad I completed game #4 before returning to #3 so hopefully I was able to minimize the damage in that section.
Both RC sections felt very fair to me but I was lucky to have some background in a couple of the passages that made the readings a bit easier.
Felt exhausted on the LR section but it was overall manageable. I think they threw in a difficult question within the first 10 questions but I could be mistaken.
Best of luck to everyone!
I had 2 RCs. The first one was the hardest RC I have ever done. Definitely panicked a little, which affected my performance on the LG (normally get -1/-2, but I think this one would be -3/-4). I was able to keep it together for the second portion, but man, that was honestly the most dreaded scenario (2 RCs) for me. ..
i hope it's okay to post this here but this blog post does a good job of explaining the experimental survey section for anyone still confused! : https://blog.powerscore.com/lsat/the-june-2022-lsat-experimental-section-what-happened/
@atticusbinch00884 It wasn’t a typical experimental section. It was a survey regarding using paper for diagramming/ notes etc. for the changes to LG coming in 2023. It wouldn’t have been possible to grade the section as it was a survey.
@sgriffgor451 Makes complete sense actually considering the survey was regarding which notes we took to answer LG questions, and how necessary we found the notes to be to answer the question.

Did you guys receive email confirmation or a status indication on Lawhub that your exam was completed and received without issue? I'm paranoid about exiting the exam correctly. and I can't seem to find any indication whether my exam was received properly.
No, it's very anticlimactic. There really should be a completed confirmation, but there's not. You can go to your ProctorU account and it should say "fulfilled' next to your scheduled time!
I am glad to hear that others found some of the passages especially challenging. Obviously two RC sections is far from ideal for most students. I also found the LR more challenging than usual. Logic games were pretty fair. Now the wait begins!
this is only tangentially related but do we know if they're ever going to disclose a test again? It's been two years and some newer PTs would be really nice, plus it'd be cool to take one where we're able to see how we actually did on the real test.
@sahanaripr711Sorry, June 2022 tests are not yet available. LSAC's most recent PrepTest is PrepTest 92 (June 2020). Unfortunately, LSAC has not announced when new PrepTests will be available. Note that newly released PrepTests will automatically be added to the 7Sage course.
Anyone know where to look to see if a break down of how many questions right/wrong in the specific sections? Do they not show that?
Yes, they do !
Powerscore Podcast: super hard RC section of RC LG RC LR was experimental. I can breathe now ….

RC-LG-RC-LR
English is my second language and this is my first time to take a proctored official LSAT. The first RC made me panic. I held my breathe to the point that I started to feel dizzy. LG is my strongest part in PTs, but I stressed out at Game 3 (partically because of my terrible experience in my first RC) and didn't get time to finish the rest of the games. During my 10 mins' break, I wanted to give up on this test. But I continued.
The beginning of the second half of the test was a lot smoothier than the first half. I reminded myself to keep breathing as I concentrate on the test. My family thought my exam would finish at 1pm but it actually went to 1:30pm. They made some phone calls around 1:15pm when I was doing the last 10 LR questions. I was distracted and stressed again at the end of the test.
Some takeaways from this "super practice test":
Keep on breathing deeply while wading through
Skip to the next game if having trouble setting up the current game
Make sure I have a quiet environment to the end of the test next time
keep on practicing!
I think I can do a lot better next time!
You can do better! Good thing you've taken some lessons from this experience. If you can, make sure you have your entire house to yourself when you take it next time. That way you're not anxious about someone getting unexpectedly loud.
Good luck
@ana28618 Same here! Myself and a friend both had the survey last. For me it was RC-LG-LR-Survey. I was quite surprised.
