Many of us took the test today.
I have no idea how I did, I'm simply incapable of judging myself the way I usually can after doing a PT.
So, how do you all think you did?
If anyone needs help figuring out which section was experimental, I'd be happy to help.

You guys are mean the world to me. Thank you.
I have to say though, getting lumped in with PowerScore... ouch, that hurts. But, that's fine. I deserved it. :)
I'll do better next time!
J Y we love you you helped us through the whole test! I will always recommend 7sages to everyone on Law students.ca! You guys truly want us to succeed! You are the best!
Wow, sorry guys. I didn't mean to mislead you.
I think the last circular game in a disclosed LSAT showed up on PT 41, Oct. 2003 which is over 10 years ago.
Thanks to your comments here, I amended my advice there from basically "It's a rare game" to "It showed up again in a future undisclosed LSAT".
This got me thinking, if the LSAC had a weird game type that they only toss into the February tests, most of us will never know. People mostly likely see only 1 February LSAT ever and wouldn't detect the trend. If you try to extrapolate from disclosed LSATs, you also wouldn't detect the trend.
This is purely conjecture though with nearly no supporting evidence.
Don't worry, J.Y. Everyone understands you were only trying to help. It makes sense to try focusing on the games that appear frequently. Even Powerscore mentions these rare games should not be studied to an equal degree.
Unfortunately, LSAC does not always obey our orders.
What sucks is that having gone through the 7sage curriculum, I was more than confident that I could destroy that game, but unfortunately the other three games wreaked havoc on my time, leaving me under 5 minutes to tackle that oddball game. Grrr! lol
the logic games section that involved the circular game. It seems way too hard ...Perhaps they are experimenting on bringing back that type of logic game.
we ought to tell JY to stress that its no longer a game type that should be considered 'old'.
That LG with the [redacted] really screwed me though. ran out of time...
*edit* sorry for violating TOS, thank you for redacting part of the comment, lol..
Everything happens for a reason guys! Be optimistic and life will treat you good!
Anyways, long story short it looks like most people found the game to be the curve breaker of the LSAT.
For those of you that completed it without a problem, I congratulate you, excelling is the purpose of this course.
To the rest of us, I hope we get the scores we set out for ourselves or do better next time. :)
I'll be taking the June LSAT, so I'll see you guys and girls around.
PT 71 LG seems a joke compared to the Feb's section.
BIG CONGRATULATIONS to all you feb test takers!!!!!
At the end of the day your hard work has paid off. You all have demonstrated great discipline, courage and determination in your studies AND completion of the LSAT.
so again BE PROUD no matter the outcome.
HE actually picked up during the teST?
gUys i was miserable about the circle game too
I feel much better knowing my fellow educated colleagues found it difficult too
how do you guys think the score in general will work in terms of curving based on this?
Maybe. Doesn't hurt to try.
Two of the four proctors at my test talked throughout. Can I get a refund for my test?
LG with the circle-real. It was on my test.....that whole section can suck it. I thought it was VERY difficult.Thought it was the "tester section" but I only had one LG, so it wasnt. :( I DO NOT want to take that damn test ever again....
I still feel like I've been mule kicked by this test. My school wants me to apply before a date which is later on this month, which will be before the score posts, but I don't want to apply before I know the damage... yeah, this will be fun to sort out mentally this month.
My friend had three LR sections. Her logic game section also had the circular game, confirming that it is real.
Also, I feel like there was no easy logic game in that test... The first 3 were medium to medium-hard, and the circular one was REALLY F*cking hard and time consuming. I thought it was really unfair of them to do that to us in the real LG section.
My experimental LG section was normal, in that the first was easy, the second and fourth were mediums, and the third was pretty hard. However, the third had a serious grammar error so I knew it was an experimental :\...
It sucks that they don't do the LSAT curve per test, and they do it by whole years instead. Otherwise, we might have stood a chance. but I think our scores will suck now.
Sabbath takers get a different LSAT, max. And the circular game was real.
Circular. Fail.
I studied Jan 1 until the Feb 8 test. My first PT score was 148, no previous exposure to LSAT materials, and I obtained a 160 on the Feb test, to my absolute shock.. I almost did not finish the real game section because I thought it was a joke. There were like a bunch of variables in the circle game!! I never felt comfortable or good with the sections (except the fake game section). Well the improvements I made in a short time, and the grade I managed to pull out with is, of course, all thanks to 7sage. I did not use anything else and really do not have any interest, were I to continue studying. JY recommends at least three months, and I would say that is correct. For me, I am not going to take it again because my gpa/extracurriculars are good enough and it would take up time/money. I don't think standardize reflect intellect, and moreover they do not indicate how good of a lawyer one will be. For others that are looking to improve their grades, however high you want to reach, serious and genuine time spent over the materials and resources on 7sage will get you there. Like JY says, the questions are all the same, and once you see them enough, you recognize them and can spot in seconds the correct answer. The test is beatable, however your success in the future depends on much more that the LSAT can not test-- like curiosity, motivation, drive :) While the laws we have might be "reason free from passion", our desire to defend them, or to seek to improve them, is not necessarily so.
I got mine just now... UGH .
Did you guess the letter B?
No no no!! I made the mistake of buying Powerscore before I found 7sage. it took me a while to unlearn the craziness I had learned in their logic games bible.
After a week with your course, I was 'owning' games in 5 mins! Except the circular games which I just wasn't seeing a lot of then. So I gambled and strengthened my skill in sequencing and grouping. Totally my fault. In no way do I think 7sage and Powerscore can be 'lumped' together! This course is 10x better than those books/methods!
The logic games section with the table was pretty hard. The other three sections I must say that, because I took the 7sage course, it was possible to conquer, yet no success comes without challenges, smiles, tears and real passion, it must have real passion, otherwise it would not be a conquer situation. Hopefully some visionary school will look at us all beyond a table. One way or another, 7sage was the best thing that happened in the life of this medical doctor soon to be law student. Mr. Martinez, you were an inspiration to me. Please keep fighting brother. 7sage, you are simply the best, you care, you mean well and you deliver without expecting anything but the real success of those that trusted you with their future and sweet law school adventures. 7 sage, keep up the fantastic work!
