What's the worst is knowing you got a question wrong on the LSAT and knowing there's nothing you can do to change it :cry:

But at the same time, there's nothing you can do to change it!

Which one do you think you got wrong? I'm replaying the test in my mind and not liking any of my answers

:(

I agree, I wasn't feeling too bad about any of mine (I assumed I'd miss a few on each LR section anyway), but the more I see people discussing specific questions the more I'm starting to panic ?

Post-exam feelings of disappointment/failure

Does anyone else feel disappointed/like a complete failure unworthy of being accepted to law school after taking the test? I went into it feeling fairly prepared with months of studying under my wing, but I knew a lot of my score would be dependent on how I performed on test day and the difficulty of the test given. I felt like the test itself was very fair (almost on the easier side), but I have no idea how I performed. I hoped to come out of the test feeling relieved to finally be done after all the time I've spent on preparing, but all I feel is anxiety and disappointment because I'm not confident in my performance. If anything, I feel that I underperformed.

The only section I felt confident in was LG, and for the rest it just felt like I was just on autopilot - no time to freak out or gauge how well I was doing, just had to chug through and get the questions answered. It turns out the section that I was least confident in was NOT my experimental section as I had hoped, so that doesn't help matters. Now I have to wait until freakin' January to find out whether I completely screwed it up or nailed it. And in the case that I screwed it up completely, I can't even take it again because most of my schools won't accept February scores. I’m not getting my hopes up at all about my score because I have a pretty good feeling I’m going to be disappointed. I guess I won't know for sure until January, but it's definitely not fun to invest so much time into preparing for something and only feel overwhelming disappointment instead of relief after finally finishing it.

Could someone kindly try to figure out which section was experimental for those of us with the order: LR (25), RC, LR (25), LR (26), LG ??

I think that quite a few people are trying to figure this out. I also think that it's agreed upon that the third section (the 26 question one) was real.

Unfortunately I cannot remember any of the questions from the first two LR sections (the 25 question ones) except for one about horses, spears, and pre-homo Sapiens inhabitants in the second section.

Hmm. Well that complicates things. The order of mine was LR (25) RC LR (25) LR (26) LG. I was under the impression that the first LR section was the experimental one, but if the "hunters in pre-homo sapiens Europe" question was experimental then it appears that the second LR section was the experimental one instead. That's upsetting if that's true, I found the first LR section quite a bit harder than the other two.

Experimental, I didn't have it.

I’m not sure it was experimental. I ~vaguely~ remember it, and I had experimental LG. Was it something about neanderthals not needing to use language to construct tools?

It was about a spear found from 400000 years ago in Europe that supports the idea that pre-homo Sapiens inhabitants were hunters rather than just gatherers

I got an entire cake, a bottle of champagne, and am having a small gathering at my house tonight to socialize with the friends I've ignored for the past month or so because I've been studying. The results are no longer in your hands - no matter what you do, you can't change them. There's no use in worrying, you might as well try to forget about it and be pleasantly surprised when you get your scores back and find out you did great.

Confirm action

Are you sure?
