So im reading this planning and taking my test in September. Does the LSAT change each month? Or is it yearly? Will any of this apply when I take my test
itll be new content, but should still feel like the recent practice tests
Ok cool. I just see some people saying that certain sections were pretty tough and sort of unanimously agreeing. Was just curious if it was going to be the same for the Sept test or totally different

sighs RC
hopefully we’re allowed to post this stuff now, but I had 2 LR sections and in one there was a question that read “None of these ____ was able to…” (I don’t remember the rest). In the moment this struck me as a grammatical error, although I’ve read mixed things about this grammar rule. Did anyone else come across this? I was hoping this might be a clue it was experimental

I had 2 RC passages. I felt as though on the logic games section the first 3 weren't extremely difficult. I had 5 minutes left for the last game and got maybe 2 right of the remaining. That was considered a miscellaneous game and my brain broke. Also had technical issues and I believe I lost time on my second RC passage. If there was a hard standard logic game (seq, layered seq, grp, in/out) for the last game I would have scored at least 2 or 3 points higher. I'm just salty.
Was the misc game the “beer” game or posters on four stations over three months?
I had posters as my fourth and felt the same way you did. Guessed on two questions

I agree, the last game broke my brain. I had about 9 min left but I could not put the game to paper.
For all of my paper/pencil besties... RC KILLED ME

Did you guys have to put your scratch paper up to the camera during break? I'm seeing people say that they had to, but I received no such instructions
I did. I had 4 total pieces of paper, only used 1 though. They still made me show them the 3 blank pieces and tear them up anyway before I could leave the session

I would say over all wasn't a horrific test. However, one thing I would say is that I had to take the test at 6pm at night and I could definitely say I was a tad tired. I wasn't ready for 2 sections of RC. I would say I wish the test was still on paper for RC. I like being able to underline and circle important info and when you do that online the highlighter was being wild and not highlighting. Overall, not horrific but I wish I was more prepared for 2 sections of RC.
I agree, this caught me way off guard and I felt unprepared for the additional section.

I had 2 RC sections and I was so confused because I had never seen anything like that in practice, and one was for sure harder than the other. I'm also worried because I thought LG wasn't too bad but I've seen a lot of people saying they were struggling. Hope everyone did well!
Im hoping the curve works out in everyone's favor. I too had 2 RC sections.
I had two RC sections as well and definitely found the first set more challenging than the second.
The first reading comprehension set was so difficult anyone else feel this way?I got two RC sections

I completely screwed up my LG section. I consistently get -2 to -4 on the section and I feel like I got way more wrong this time around. It sucks because I missed the September registration. Anyone know if I can somehow late register? I’m down in the dumps right now because of my LG performance.
I'm right there with you - LG was a bit more difficult than I anticipated (but it could have been the pressure for me). I think the Sept test is booked up, but luckily the August scores come out Aug 30 and the deadline for the October test is Sept 1. So, there is a window to schedule a retake if you're not happy with your score (which is what I'm doing).

ProctorU ended my exam because of technical difficulties after an hour of trying to resolve the issue half way through the exam. It was an actual nightmare. I submitted a test day incident report to LSAC as I was instructed. Does anyone know if the makeup on August 23rd will start me from the begging with a whole new exam or if it will resume where I left off?
It would be a complete, new test. ProctorU failed to launch my test as well after one hour and a half of diagnosing....
RC was wack but everything else wasn’t too bad. For reference I had 2LR 1 LG 1RC. Hoping my guessing skills are on point!

LR seemed easier than usual for me. I usually score a -0 in LG, and I was running out of time for the last game, so I had to guess the last few questions unfortunately. I had 2 RCs, one was easy and one was hard, so I'm praying the hard one was experimental.
Same for me.

I think we had the same exam. I also usually score -0 in LG with 10 minutes left over, but today I definitely ran out of time. I blanked on the 3rd puzzle, so I skipped over to the last puzzle and definitely rushed through it, but thankfully figured out the inferences of the 3rd puzzle and breezed through it, but I feel like I made some mistakes on the last puzzle.
I also had 2 RC's and almost quit because I just blanked on the second passage of one of the RC sections. Thankfully, just chugged through and had enough time to go back to it and look at a couple of questions.
It's really weird I usually PT near 175, but when it comes to the actual exam I hit near 170. Definitely a bummer that this exam felt hard. Really hoping as well that the difficult RC was the experimental. That's my only hope right now haha.

Did you call them first or first submitted the report? have they given retake?
Similar thin happened with me with proctorU disconnecting, but they reconnected. however it affected my flow and i lost time. Do they give retake in these conditions?
