I took the Oct test and I think LG section is not HARD but very time consuming. I don't know if this is correct but I think they are trying to use the rule in different way that provide test takers with a more general information rather than some rules that are similar in the PTs that really help narrow down to the correct answer. Haven't done all PTs yet but I really hope they could release some LG question for test takers to practice and prepare the question like these
was power score at all accurate or a waste of time?
I got the experimental section removed so i only did the real one. I forgot the topics of the non experimental ones though lol
I had two different logical reasoning sections. The first LR was really hard, and I barely made it through the section in time. I flagged about 6 questions that I didn't have time to return to. My second LR was much easier and I completed the section with about a minute left. Any thoughts on which is the experimental section?
I didn't get that passage, mine were about forests, Harlem Renaissance, fish cells and comparative law
What did you answer for the question about the fourth paragraph on the "sentimental" passage? I chose (different hypothesis) but now I'm not sure
Power Score released the recap. The second LR section was the scored one, with questions on Shakespeare, benefactors, accountants, the archer, sleeping pills, etc.
@emilyvelasquez209-velasquez I had LG-LR-RC-LR and my first LR was significantly harder than my 2nd. I'm really hoping the first one was experimental lol but its so hard to tell because the 2nd one I think I finished on time which I usually don't. My first LR was 25 Q and my 2nd was 26. Idk why but I don't remember the content of the test like at all LOL just the amount of questions and how I was feeling

Now that we're allowed to discuss the test, I have been driving myself crazy trying to figure out which one was the experimental section. I had LR-LG-RC-LR. For me the first LR was the hardest, I believe it had the question about the hands and their function. The second section had the question about benefactors and gratitude. Any guesses on which one was the experimental section? I'm really hoping it was the harder one!
I remember the benefactors and gratitude question in my LR section

I only had one LR and I had the gratitude question

Did anyone else have a horrible proctor experience? When I took my Lsat in June I had no issues, but this time my proctor kept telling me "wait a while." before my test and during my break, then I got a brand new proctor on the second half, I was not sure if I was allowed to start my test so I wasted a whole 5 mins on RC waiting to be told what to do. I called LSAT after and my only option was a test day complaint but i really do not want to take the test again. I just think if the Lsat is going to have strict rules for us the proctor needs to be more informed about their responsbilites.

@laurengraves2001105 I honestly don't remember anything about my RC passages for some reason except that my last passage was science, comparative and it only had 5 questions. I also remember thinking the questions on that passage wasn't the hardest compared to I think the 3rd passage? LOL I don't know how I don't remember my passage topics but I think it might be because I had RC right after the difficult LR section & I was probably thinking too hard about how I bombed the LR
Ok interesting, I did not have any science comparatives. I had an art comparative and a law comparative. Are we allowed to talk about the topics of the RC's, this is my first LSAT so I am a little unclear on the rules!

@laurengraves2001105 @joraudins736 did you guys have 25 or 26 questions on LR do you remember
I think mine had 25 and I only had 1 LR section.

I had two RC with the first being more difficult than the second. I had the same issue with time on LG, partially because I read a rule wrong and had to fix a previous game. Thought the LR was reasonable despite a few hard ones. LG caused me a slight panic cause that is normally my strongest so I don't have a good gauge on how I did overall either - fingers crossed!
I also had 2 RC and the first one was so wierd and hard. Usually RC isnot my weakness in terms of question difficulty ( I do struggle with timing usually ) but I felt like this RC was the hardest one I have had in terms of how wierd/tricky the questions and answers were??

@laurengraves2001105 Omg okay I really hope it was lol I just ask cuz I had 2 LR and my shorter LR section (25) was suuuper hard but my 26 question one wasn't too bad. If the 25 Q section is scored I feel like that'd drop my score by like at least 5 points lmao
I’m pretty sure it was 26 so yay! I’m resisting the urge to ask you about your RC passages because the first set I had was insane

Towards the end of the test, there was this woman who kept on sighing loudly. I started losing my focus, but there were ear muffs to block any sounds. Is this still eligible for a complaint?
My exam was LR-RC-LG-LR... Wonder which one is the experimental.
