General · It's official. Accommodated test takers must take the experimental. The LSAC is deplorable.

@.brinn I assume that I'm going to have to take the 5 section test with no extra breaks or anything like that. I'll live. But I believe that lack of proper notification was wholly unfair and thus I will exhaust all grievance procedures to make my disagreement known.

Yeah, the lack of notification blows..but, I'd save the grievances for after we crush the exam next month :)

I did have JY's voice in my head most of the test. When I'd cross out wrong answers I'd say something in my head along the lines of "what, this just makes no sense" or "so what who cares?"

@.rizeq Thanks. But, for me personally, everyone/everything has thrown roadblocks at me most of my teenage/adult life. So I'm not surprised that there's another one being thrown my way. I just learned that I can't sit and complain about it..just do what they ask of me and get the job done to the best of my ability despite the conditions I have. I've been taking 5 section PTs anyways. Now that my personal accommodations have been approved i will need to adjust starting on Monday.

I do hope I can cram my lunch in there through. Luckily the medication I take only needs to be taken once daily in the morning...but it still sucks because I was planning to drive up to Ft Worth to celebrate with my girlfriend after the exam, but that extra section would probably stop me from doing so. 6 hours..I'd be too tired to make the drive.

Well that blows. But, as a test taker sitting in September with accommodations I have no choice but to power through it and do the best I can. I'm not going to let an extra section stop me from becoming a bad ass attorney.

General · Are LG sections in the 50s PTs easier than normal?

I had the experimental LG featuring something about new hires/trainers, and days off.

I thought LR2 was insanely difficult with some very confusing questions up front and midend (political demogauges? •_____•)

RC, ol laquer is the bane.

LG was a breeze til the virus game...but I took JY's advice, put my pencil down and took a breath for a second. Was able to finish it pretty much. I guessed on 1 question.

I feel like they took 77 games and 78 RC and made it 1/2 of 79 lol...and threw in some reallly tricky LR Qs

My guess is 12-14 curve. Hoping for 14.

Those of you feeling down about it. Just take a few days, let it sink in and register for December! This was my 3rd go so I'm out (though my 1st attempt was in 2012..so I could register again)

Being an accommodated test taker and blindsided with that extra fifth section without appropriate time to petition for the correct accommodations sort of sucked a lot.

It's possible. I had them today. I have really bad ADHD. 2x time, plus own room (it was literally just the proctor and I)

Yup, proctor should call 5min...or you could end up like I did when I sat in Oct '13 and they forgot...after that it was just panic and downhill from there.

I found reading a passage out in my head while drilling or testing in Morgan Freeman's voice helps a lot. I stay engaged throughout the section.

Don't markup a lot either. I draw a line through paragraphs to help nothing from the previous paragraph bleed over into what I read next.

@ More than likely yes. I looked on their site for the specific test they require but couldn't find it. But I've gone through a battery of tests in my lifetime due to another neurological disorder I've dealt with.

@ Thanks for the reminder. I will have everything submitted to LSAC tomorrow morning. I hate that I waited til the last minute to break down and request them.

@ Yeah, I know. But, even if they see all my stuff there really isn't much to see, IMO. But, if they think otherwise that any normal 27 year old male doesn't enjoy live music, fine bourbon and posting too many pictures of his dog, they got problems.

mine also says '5 section booklet' and then mentions AR, LR1, LR2, RC, Writing Sample and says the additional 50% time for each of those but makes no mention of an experimental section..

Either LSAC is trolling hard and making the Writing Part "a section" or this is still just a very cruel joke.

ADHD petition

Hi All,

I'm currently registered for the September exam. I've been trying like hell to prep under regular test conditions since May so I don't have to use my ADHD as a sort of crutch to take this exam...but today I've just come to accept that it's a disability that I have and I will need more than the alotted 35 minutes to perform my best on this exam. When I BR I'm scoring in the high 160s/low 170s. And under actual time conditions I'm just all over the place from the high 150s-160s. I've set a routine where I meditate for 15 minutes prior to taking a PT, I listen to the same song to calm me down, I do push ups. But when I'm on the clock I just panic. (When I took the Oct '13 exam I had a panic attack during the 1st section and just never recovered, I should've cancelled..but I didn't)...so I've gone onto LSAC's website to request testing accommodations. I have all the forms from my doctor stating my condition and requesting extended time...but I'm sort of lost on the statement of need that I myself have to submit. What should I put? Any help would be greatly, greatly appreciated.

All my stuff is on private so there's really not much they can find. Plus, I don't really have anything crazy on my social media pages either. If they feel the need to ding me for something they find on my social media page then it isn't really somewhere I want to spend 3 years of my life.

I think it just depends on your proctor. Mine was pretty nice about stuff so I didn't have any issues. She was mostly just watching the clock during the exam, she didn't really stare at me or I wasn't paying attention if she was because I was focused on the exam.

Not too sure about the backpack thing, I just brought everything I needed in my gallon bag and that was it. She didn't check the water bottle and let me leave it on the table.

But, again, YMMV depending on your proctor.

I took the test accommodated in September. If you have questions, feel free to ask!

I got 53 min/ section, took the 5 section exam like everyone else and took it in a room separate from other test takers (It was literally just the proctor and I)

LSAT · September 2016 Curve Prediction

Monday, Oct 03 2016

-13/-14. They gave 71 a -14 curve and I didn't even feel it was that difficult.

79 felt like they took the RC of 78 and LG of 77 and put them together along with an insanely tough LR2. LR1 was alright (3/5 on the difficulty scale)
