I had the exact same questions!!!

So I have been struggling with hitting my desired score under timed conditions but I finally did it today. I've adjusted my study schedule and allowed myself time to actually live and i think that has really made a difference. I'm a rather social person, so being consumed with studying for this test was really stressing me out. Hopefully this persists into test day. Good luck everyone!

Amen, brother. I can't tell you how many times taking a few nights off from prep has led to direct score increases. I know try to schedule in times to do things other than work and prep because I know it will ultimately help me in the long run.

Did you feel guilty at first? For some reason I find it hard to not feel like I should be prepping when I'm doing social things...

Initially i did because I felt as though every hours I was taking away from studying my score would decrease but when i started seeing the opposite I let that go. Constant studying works better for others but not for me. Glad I'm not alone!

@ How long did it take you to reach your desired score under timed conditions?

It took me a little over a month. I am working full time and studying after work (when I have the energy).

@ said:

Have you been doing separate sections? How long does it take you to do the first 10 questions?

I haven't reached that goal just yet but that's what I'm shooting for but I think I'm overthinking and it's eating my time up.

I really appreciate the tips. I will use them using forward. It's also nice to know that I'm not alone in this struggle to defeat LR.

I’m really down about today. I was really confident going in and felt the first two sections went ok (RC and LR)..a little short of time at the end of each and had to rush a little, but nothing horrible. Then I got the LG section with the floors and it just went south. I probably only got about half of that whole section. When I saw the second LG after the break (fruit one) I was happy, thinking the first one had to be the experimental. I did better on the second one but not as well as I’d like. Last LR was ok.

Disappointed that the 1st LG was the real one. I have no idea how I did overall, but suspect I’m going to be unhappy. Ugh

You are definitely not alone. I had the same test and that LG section is giving me anxiety even after the test.

One of my LG sections had a set of questions surrounding a debate, I can't tell by the description of games in the forum which one that was. Can someone help me out with that and if it was experimental or real? thanks!

Mine was LR, RC,LR, LR, LG.

The are the ones I know were real:

Real RC: Chinese Dialects, comedians v. chefs, Darwinism, and Metiuniverse

Real LG: stations closing; cleaning 8 floors; sequencing game with H,R, S,T, G about performing, and 4/6 destination

LR was my experimental and all the questions got mixed up in my head. I don't remember which pertained to which section -.-

I got the same order. And I also don’t remember which question was in which LR :(

I thought the second LR was really hard. Did you feel the same?/was that the experimental??

By 2nd LR I mean = the 3rd section, right before break

Personally I thought the 1st LR was the hardest. From hardest to easiest: 1, 4, 3

Is it possible that the order of the same type of sections are mixed?? Eg. 1LR 2LR 3LR vs. 3LR 2LR 1LR

Great question because based on what I remember about my own 2 LG sections some of the "real" "experimental" sections arent adding up. But that could just be wishful thinking.

@ said:

@ I agree completely. The First LG was the real one, and I thought it was pretty difficult. The second one was experimental, but insanely easy.

So now I'm confused because in the experimental and real list at the beginning of the Dec 2017 thread, it has the experimental section as the one with the rumor and I recall that being in my first LG section.

I had RC, LR, LG, LG, LR. The First LG was exceptionally difficult, but the second one was easy (almost scary easy). Was the LG section with the leak/rumor experimental or real?
