I am going to be a bit of a Karen, spurred by posts I've seen across the internet.
Is anyone else rather concerned at the level of leaked information out there regarding these exams? This forum, reddit, elsewhere, are all getting into which passages are the most difficult, which games are the most difficult, and so on. Indeed, I've seen several posts now of people happy they took the exam later since they knew what to expect.
I am entirely ok with someone saying a section was difficult. But when people get into the specifics of say, passage 1 is very hard, 2 is easy, 3 is easy, and 4 is very hard, it gives an absolutely massive advantage in avoiding time sinks, if not anything else. Advantages that people who take the exam earlier miss. Hell, even just saying "X passage/ game was really difficult" opens the door for me to easily strategize.
It is mind boggling how few unique sections this LSAT seems to have. As far as I can tell, there really aren't that many section options. In fact, it seems to come down to 1 of 2 sections for LG/RC/LR (might be wrong). People are still getting the same sections I got back on Saturday!
This is a problem. I am curious if the LSAC will notice scores creeping up as the week goes on.
@yoder469 @melaniehernan382 that feel when yoder walks in here and rains on my parade, lol.
@melaniehernan382 very similar stats to you and we had the same LR/ LG.
Do you think that LR section was absolutely bizarre? That’s the hardest LR section I’ve seen in a long, long time. I’ve never been 50/50 on so many questions before. This section felt markedly different from the majority of LR Ive seen. Curious if you thought similar.
@angekim33418 Considering how many PTs I've taken, and how rarely I am absolutely bewildered by LR questions, I would say yes- it feels different. Does that mean it is different? I don’t know.
I haven't had so many 50/50s or just absolute loss in an LR section in a long time. I could probably go into why this feels different (I think I've figured out why after reviewing the 70-80 LSATs), but I believe that might not be allowed according to the forum rules.
Granted, that's just me. And it was my last section. I'm sure there are others who say its well within the wheelhouse. I am certainly in some form of post LSAT fog.
Medical misinformation.
I spent at least 100 years staring at that question, and I am absolutely convinced there are several correct answers.
What in the World was That.
LG, RC, LR. LG was good, RC (chemistry section) is probably the hardest RC I've ever seen (outside of judicial candor), and LR was a TRIP. I honestly have no idea what the LSAC is doing, but this LR felt very, very different. Who knows. Oh well.
I'm lost on how E and B are not both acceptable answer choices for 3.
Irrigation does make a farm in a desert possible. So too do stones forming a stone wall. Without stones there is no wall, and without irrigation there is no farm. Much the same as without cattle there is no population.
I believe the better line of reasoning might be that the cattle assists the people in adverse conditions (as in, poor farming prospects). So too does an irrigation system in a desert.
Absurd
LG was probably the easiest section I've ever seen. I'm actually worried this tightened the scale. RC was 9/10 if not 10/10 difficulty. LR was standard.
That marks three times in a row for me where I've had very easy LG and very hard RC- my worst combination. I'm sure others have similar experiences. The luck of this exam, luck that determines admissions, scholarships, and debt, never ceases to amaze and anger me. I think section luck needs to be talked about more- it matters so much.
This is the last one for me, everyone. Glad to move on. I hope you all got the scores you needed.
