Thanks for the response. Given their experience with administering this thing, I'm sure LSAC knows what's up here. I can't be the only one with this issue. In any event, it just seems like a very strange glitch in a standardized system to say that ordering, all other things being equal (as they are), is irrelevant doesn't wash with me. I'll message LSAC directly and post their reply here at some point down the road.

Experimental Section Order and Scoring

Hi,

For me, the toughest part of the test has always been not letting my brain get tired from analyzing minutia and subtleties over and over... and over and over. I scored best on PTs when an LG section broke up LR and RC. I kind of think of LG as a "break" or a mental energy boost. Yesterday the LSAT hit some of us with LR, RC, LR right out of the gate. I was fine with the first LR (experimental :/) and the RC, but mentally gassed by LR #2. So, my question: Does the LSAC take section order into account when standardizing? Like, if the average score for takers who had the above order is 4 questions less than those with a different experimental section, is that considered? In a test where mental stamina is potentially the most important factor, not doing so would strike me as a little unfair.

Thanks!

Taylor
