Just finished the test. Had one reading comp section and I remember two passages: jazz, judges/evidence. Had two logic games sections. One section had a circle game that was tricky, and I think a puppy/kitten question (based on convos after test pretty sure this section was experimental). Other logic game section had a question about trips to Manila, Tokyo, Sydney (pretty sure this section was real). I had two logic games sections one with 25 questions and the other with 26 so the 26 question one is definitely real.

Did anyone else have logic game sections with 25 questions or 26 questions?

I think @yangsh449 meant to say logical seasoning sections in the last sentence? Because the real LG was 23 questions for sure, and 25/26 are the respective question numbers of the LR sections. Anyone remember how many questions were in RC?

Can anyone confirm if the LG section with the beer game and training/grooming game was experimental? Also can anyone explain the curve people are talking about? Thanks

While I also had two LG sections, those topics did not appear in EITHER of my LG section, therefore they must have been experimental.

The curve:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grading_on_a_curve

tl;dr:

Your score isn't determined directly by how many you got wrong or right, but by how well you did in comparison to all of the other test takers so that an extremely hard test where everyone does poorly, you can get a higher score with more raw mistakes... You should really know this by now in your academic career...

That's actually not how the LSAT "curve" is determined. It's not a curve in the traditional sense-the score chart is supposed to be adjusted based on the logical difficulty of the exam. Then, your percentile ranking measures you and your score against the last three years of test takers. But yes, basically, if the overall logical difficulty of the test was a bit lower than average, it may require more questions to get to certain scores. Usually affects high score area more.

Hi all. Just wanted to pop in and say hey. Taking the September test.

Thoughts on general difficulty? Especially with LG. That's the only section I fear seeing something crazy. Judging from what's been said, seems like A TON of the older style games are coming back into style in full force.

Hey. As I wrote above, I feel that this was at least a somewhat below-average difficulty test. The logic games section may be the single easiest LG section I've ever done. No odd or pattern games like have recently been included. LR had a lot of what I estimated to be very easy questions, and a few difficult ones. Again some of the easier LR sections I've done. RC was moderately difficult throughout, rather than one or two virtually unreadable passages as sometimes happens. The questions in RC made it more challenging, in my estimation. Referring to the game what you're hearing reminded you of, the game you're thinking of is much more difficult than what was on the test.

Did anyone feel like this was (as far as the LSAT goes) an unusually straightforward, if not overtly soft test? RC was moderately difficult, for sure, but not the hardest I've done and easily the hardest section in the test. LR was almost too easy at times, overall very very straightforward with a few small twists. LG shocked me with its manageability. Thoughts for the "curve?" Hopefully not a -8 haha
