@gregoryalexanderdevine723 Starting from September, all accommodation students have to take experiment section.

Yup, and it definitely made things a little tougher. I also think that going forward, we are bound to see tougher questions on the LSAT in general. Virus Game and Eileen Grey type of questions will likely become the norm. If they want to maintain the curve, it is the only way.

I took the test with accommodations because I actually needed them. I have Ulcerative Colitis and suffer from horrible symptoms (you can google them if you want). This illness has severely impacted my life in general and accommodations are definitely warranted. I am sympathetic to the needs of people who also require them. However, in that podcast, Fox does mention a good point. The number of people getting accommodations is significantly higher and more and more students are applying for and receiving them, which is a great thing. However, if we see it from the perspective of the LSAT, they need to maintain the curve and preserve the test's integrity. I can foresee significant changes coming to the test. What will they be? I am not sure...but I won't be surprised if we some changes to the test that make it harder for students.

I actually didn't do any PrepTests and just sat for the Sept test to see how I would do (bad bad idea, I know). I found the LR sections to be pretty reasonable. A few questions here and there took some time, but I would say that they were of average difficulty. The first 3 LG questions were also not that hard, although I had to guess on two questions from the first 3 games...Computer Virus game was a different story. I am sure it wasn't hard but I panicked and guessed E for every question on that game (again, bad idea...I should have guessed C).

RC is where I totally bombed. I breezed through the first comparative passage but then screwed up hard on the Eileen Grey passage. That ruined my flow and I had to guess (E, again) for every question on the last passage.

All in all, I don't think that the test was too hard. You just gotta prep mentally that you will face at least one weird game on tests from now on. You just have to think them through and not panic, like I did.

So, I got my score and...well...umm

I got a stellar, a magnifient score of...154...YAYY!

I am actually happy with this score because of a few reasons:

1) I did not do even a single prep test in its entirety during my study. None at all. I did not even do a diagnostic test. All the tests past PT35 are pristine for me.

2) I did not even complete the 7sage curriculum (think I was at like 48%).

3) I did not practice more than 30 games in total. Also, I did not practice more than 8 RC passages in total.

4) I did not touch any prep material in the last month before the test. Also, my study was very passive before that.

5) I completely guessed on 10 RC questions (complete last RC passage as I spent my whole time on that damn Eileen Grey passage).

6) I completely guessed on entire virus game and 4 four questions from previous games.

Now, my real prep will start. Time to raise that 154 by atleast 16 points :P ... let's get it done.

Is anyone still waiting?

It's going to be three hours since it went grey, but I don't have a score (and an email) yet. Is anyone else in the same boat? Sighhhhh...

No email for me yet...dang, I should have known that using "2hoodfoschool69@kmarie7664.com" as my primary LSAC email would be used against me :P

@52860 Do the scores all drop at the same time? Or in waves?

In waves. Some people have already gotten their score.

@bjphillips5431 Anyone know the timeframe that scores are released? Is it like within 2 hours or like 8? haha

Could be anytime between now and 9 PM, from what I am reading. Score emails go out in batches.

I truly hope so. Last few days were agonising on their own.

@cfield3658 she confirmed this for sure?

Yup, I kept insisting that it should be today and she kept correcting me by saying it's tomorrow. I truly hope she is wrong, but I am giving up hope for today...I guess LSAC decided to make lots of changes with this LSAT. First by adding a 5th section for the accommodated test takers and now by sticking to the release date.

I just called the lady who I have always talked to regarding Accommodated LSATs. She confirmed that the scores are being released tomorrow...I think it's a good thing that LSAC has decided to abandon early release and stick with a set date. However, a little notification (maybe a tweet) would have been awesome. Also, they should change the "Projected Score Release Date" on their website to "Score Release Date".

See you good folks tomorrow at around 4 PM. Until then, enjoy your time y'all.

@lesco468 its super cruel of them!

Exactly. Also keep in mind that they are on the hook to pay close to $7 million to people whom they denied the accommodated LSAT to. They've gotta lessen the financial impact somehow :P

Alright, I am just going to lay it out there. LSAC is delaying our scores on purpose. It knows that today is the last day to enroll for the Dec LSAT without having to pay the late fees. Now, I understand that if you wrote the Sept LSAT, you can apply to get your late fees portion back. However, I am sure a certain percentage of people won't do this, which just means added revenue for LSAC.

@52860 Just tried f5 to see what it did. and apparently it doesnt change colors from green to gray lol

Nope. I accidentally pressed F6 a couple of times but the colour is still green.

"I see them all green and I want them painted grey...no colours anymore, I want them to turn grey".
