Took the test this morning and my order was RC LG LR. It was decent overall, but a bad RC start definitely threw me off a little bit!!!

LG: Much better than expected - I was really, really scared of a curveball LG (I'm usually -1 max on LG, except when there's a curveball question that totally cripples me I freak out, like 89 game 4 for example, so was really scared of that happening. I had the games with stenciling/ origami + printing/ verifying/ piano/violin. I found the third game to be a bit tough but the others were fine, and the 4th game was really easy for a 4th game. Luckily I had time to brute force for the 3rd game, so fingers crossed for a -0 here!!!

LR: Medium/ Nothing Crazy - LR is usually my best section, but I was pretty fatigued by the end of the test so could have made silly mistakes, we'll see!!

RC: Really rough, I just was nervous and not focused in the beginning but also I do think the passages were a bit harder than usually - I had monopolies/ wolves vs dog. I had to guess a couple on the second passage (I did them out of order) because I ran out of time, which usually doesn't happen to me, so that sucked!! I am hoping I got the others right though.

So overall this test could go either way for me haha but could have been way worse, depends on the curve but I am confident that I can do better a second time even if I hit my goal this time, so will probably take November anyway :)

Good luck everyone!!!

@ said:

for those who had 3 LR passages, did you find the experimental LR more difficult? I honestly can't remember which one question appeared where cause it's all a blur now but I remember one section being more difficult than the other 2. Happened to be my first section too so I'm not sure if it's because I hadn't warmed up sufficiently yet.

I feel like the questions identified as experimental were ones I had trouble with so I'm praying I didn't mess up a real LR section.

Felt the same way as you. I had 3 LR’s, first one being my second section after LG. I felt like it was harder than the other 2 LR’s. I also don’t remember any questions on it but I don’t recognize any of the “real” questions being posted here as part of that first one. So I’m hoping it was the experimental.

Hey guys - thank you all so much for being interested, it's been SO motivating for me to see so many people gunning for 175s who are also going to be studying over the holidays!!! I just made a discord (can make any other type of group chat lmk what you prefer, I just feel like discord is the trendy group chat thing these days) I feel like it would be helpful to find people to BR with you or find people whose problem areas match yours etc. Sending the link to people now with this same comment but if you see this and I didn't message you and you're interested pls just message me!
