Hi, everyone. I love RC, and I would love to help y'all with it. I will be having an RC session on Zoom at 10:30am PST today. Feel free to join me! I will be posting the Zoom links when it gets closer to the time. See you soon!
Edit: Finished
RC is one of my strongest sections--I at most go -3. I will be doing an RC session on Tuesday at 11am PST (2pm EST), so feel free to join me! We will be deconstructing a passage together and going over the questions.
I will be posting the Zoom link shortly before the session begins. Feel free to message me if you have any questions.
Thanks for joining, everyone! Sorry the Zoom meeting cut out. If you have any more questions, feel free to message me.
I'm retaking in October. Would definitely like to join!

Hello, I just finished. Was the Logic games section with the fencing competition experimental or real?
Real
I score anywhere from -0 to -3 in RC. DM if you are interested.

Hey did anyone else have to move their desk so their back was facing the door? I have not had to do this for the other two LSATs i've taken online
I had to do that. I've never had to do that for any of my previous LSATs.
Looks like LSAC is mixing up experimental LR questions with real LR questions.
Would love to talk about the Monkey/token LR if anyone has had it.
Was the monkey and token LR real?

I take it this afternoon, but from what I can tell from watching this forum like a hawk, is that the Real LG is standard, same with the LR that is scored, and the real RC is the Nigerian language one which most people have said is fairly difficult. For the people this morning can you give more detail about the two LG so we can try to figure out which one is experimental?
I've heard the real LR is deceptively easy. Plus, they could have multiple real LRs/RCs/LGs that they will use.
Edit: I think there are two real LRs and RCs being used right now.

Just finished! I had LG-LR-RC-LG
First LG felt a lot harder than the second LG, I didn't have enough time to finish the fourth game so I'm really hoping that is the experimental. I can't remember all the topics but I know that the fourth game dealt with Security Guards/Buildings.
LR seemed standard, nothing out of the ordinary. However, my alarm on my phone went off the last ten minutes and I had to wait until my proctor said it was okay to turn to it off.
RC wasn't too bad. I have the Nigerian Language/Literature, EMFs, Privatization, and the last one was something dealing with trees and Cacao.
Second LG was easy. Campers, Clothing/Retail, Clay Tablets, Musicians/Concerts.
(For those that only had one LG please comment what game themes you had)
What LR topics did you have?
Have you taken the LSAT at all? Is your score enough to get you into your desired law school(s)? If so, you can tell them that you're in great position to be accepted to law school and that might make those professors more sympathetic to your plight. Check to see how many LORs each school you're interested in requires.

Hey UCLAplease, thank you for responding! Unfortunately, there isn't anyone above me I could ask. In fact, company policy is to not provide LORs to anyone, for any reason. Ironically enough, for legal reasons! I have a couple of letters that were written after I graduated but they are 10 years old and pertain to education (my undergrad).
At this point, I would reach out to professors and explain the situation. If you are anywhere near them, you could even meet up for dinner or something. Try to dig up old papers/work you've done for them to remind them of who you are. Otherwise, I'm not sure what else you can do. It's not uncommon to reach out to professors for LORs years after finishing school.
I don't think you can apply without at least one (or two) LORs. I think it would also mean an automatic rejection, but I could be wrong. Is there someone you are close to who you trust and is ranked higher than you who could write you an LOR?
Whew. Does this mean anything since it's such an old test?
Heck yes.
Four f*cking years. I'm tired. I'm so tired of this shitty test. I go at most a -4 in RC and a -1 in LG. LR, though, is a complete and utter mess. I score anywhere from a -5 to a -13, or hell, even worse. I have no control over this section. I've been trying to master this section for four years now and I cannot. I've tried every resource available, every study technique, but LR success utterly evades me. I've done every LR section in existence. On the most recently released test (the May one), I went -4 in RC; -1 in LG; and -11!!!!!! in LR.
I'm so close to giving up. I was waitlisted by every school I applied to this cycle with a 164, and I can't see myself scoring any better in August because I seem to be getting worse in LR, not better. Worse. I have no idea what to do anymore.
If anyone can help me, please reach out. I really need help and I need advice for sanity-sake.
I identified the flaw immediately (that she could possibly use a combination of the methods to during each trial), but I picked the wrong answer during the actual and during BR. There's something about the wording of A that really through me off. I just didn't think A stated that she could have possibly used more than one method during each trial. That doesn't sound like what A is saying.
I'm PTing around the same scores as you. I would love to do this, esp. for LR.
I would be interested in the LR portion! (Hopefully towards the evening?)

I’m right there with you. I applied to a school yesterday morning and last night at 10 pm I get a decision; denied. They went through my application in less than 24 hours and handed me a rejection. I was speechless. What the f was that?
Whoa. Which school was this?
It's new and it's ugly, TBH.
That monkeys and tokens (coins?) LR question has been driving me absolutely crazy. I can't stop thinking about it.
