I had LR, RC, LR, LR, LG. I've heard the second LR was not real but still trying to confirm. Did anyone without an experimental have an LR question about Egyptian civilization? I'm pretty sure that was in my second section.
Experimentals are going to to be in different orders for most people :) and some people have different experimental sections. So while I can't say anything about the "second LR", I only had 2 LR and did not have a ? about Egyptian civilization, so it must have been your experimental section. But again, the position of one person's may not be the position of yours
Yeah I know-- just included for context. Thanks for your confirming.

Badass! Can I ask time elapsed between 157 -170 and study habits/approach?
The 157 was from February of this year. I took about 6 months off after getting that score to start studying for the December test and took a PT once or twice every other week. After about 5 - 10 practice tests I got so comfortable with the logic games (2 - 4 wrong) that I dedicated almost all of my time to the LR (since it's half the test) and really started seeing improvement after reviewing and understanding wrong answers. Not only did this help me get more comfortable with complex conditional logic, it showed me the tricks they throw at you and what to look out for. I didn't study RC too much because this is kind of a strength for me already (perfect score on the GRE verbal section), but I also learned that taking an extra half minute or minutes to really read and understand the section was 100% worth it.
On the December test I went -1 LR, -3 RC, -5 LR and -3 LG. 170 is actually a few points higher than what I was PTing before the test, so I think I also just had a great day and benefited from a test that played to my strengths.
