As I understand (please correct me if I'm wrong), the sections are curved based on their results as experimental sections, meaning performance on actual test day has no part in making the curve. Maybe they'll make an exception if enough people do really badly on the test, but I think LSAC would commit seppuku before they ever admit to any wrongdoing.

Apparently this was the same AR section used for the Shabbat observers test from September of last year. It makes me wonder if we should look back into discussion threads about previous Shabbat and make-up dates to see if anything unsavory might be lurking for the next test date.

@ are you saying they were no more harder than other tests?

I’ve also done all 90+ games section and there have definitely been harder sections (PT B and C, for example) but the trend in recent years has been for pretty standard games without anything too difficult (minus the handful of misc games). Today felt like stuff from the 90s. That’s why I think folks, like myself, were really thrown off.

I'm saying this set of logic games from today is the hardest I've ever played and I've played all of them (though I don't think I've done PT B and C). I was just curious if anyone here actually had an easy time. I don't think I've ever seen a single LSAT section so heavily derided as this one.

Did ANYONE reading this feel like the logic games section was normal? Obviously the people posting in this thread are more inclined to write about how hard it was, so I'm trying to get a better idea.

For my part, I've done all 87 preptests and I've maybe done one AR section that was anywhere near that hard.

Any thoughts on which PT had as difficult of an AR section? I'm not sure I've come across any

From a quick look at my notes, the AR sections from preptests 41 and 34 were quite challenging, though both of those were taken before my AR skills improved dramatically.
