I got LR - LG - RC

LR: low sodium tomato soup, CO2 and maple trees decomposing, proposal passed if/iff approved by committee or boss, orcas sharks sea lions, fraudulent company, humidity and salt in a glass case, tires stored for two years, psychotherapy/confidentially, summer and lights being on

*Thoughts from anyone who had this section? I found it to be very very easy and even kindof fun when I got to the more difficult questions bc I actually had a second to think about them

LG: 6 somethings; Paintings & Sculptures from 18th, 19th, 20th, century; Buildings upper/lower level; & Archaeologists

*Thought this was extremely standard and leaning towards easy. My only draw back was taking too long on game 1 which I do sometimes.

RC: Big Bang, Franz Kafka, Evasion Policies, Diplomacy

*Found this to be a very fair section. This is probably the best I've felt about an RC section ever, in terms of understanding and having certainty in a timely manner. Did Diplomacy 3rd bc I thought it was sent from hell, but I actually thought it was interesting/enjoyable and the questions were not unreasonable. Doing Evasion last, I got really lucky bc I flipped through the questions before reading and found that there was a question for each paragraph in isolation, so I actually read a paragraph at a time and answered the corresponding question right then.

Hopefully the exam actually went well and I'm not just delusional but I never know .___.

I had the same LR and LG as y'all as well. But..... I thought that that LR was like disturbingly easy.... I will say that there were a small handful that I was 50/50 on, but it was mostly all questions involving logic and I just needed to think a little longer to figure it out.

I know its apparently the case thats there's one crazy tough LR and one weirdly easy one. So now I'm unsure of which I/we got :neutral:

@melaniehernan382 very similar stats to you and we had the same LR/ LG.

Do you think that LR section was absolutely bizarre? That’s the hardest LR section I’ve seen in a long, long time. I’ve never been 50/50 on so many questions before. This section felt markedly different from the majority of LR Ive seen. Curious if you thought similar.

yeah definitely really peculiar.

I know of two distinct RC sections, one which has been used previously [kente cloth, physics/chemistry, electronic court displays, and middle ages music iconography] the other floating around is [Big Bang, Kafka, Diplomacy, and japanese-american immigrants*?]

The two LG sections seem to be [puppies/kitties, buildings, paintings/sculptures/centuries] and [students/classes, doctors/nurses/social workers, lawyers/cases, and newspaper 16-18]

Apparently there's a really weird and difficult LR as well as an unsettlingly easy LR.

I assume they would have to base the curve on a group that had identical tests or elseeeeee.... how would it make any sense?

So I guess we'll all wait for that Powerscore podcast to reveal the mystery!!

With all these seemingly different versions of sections floating around, how in the world do they come up with the scaled score that pieces them all together fairly???

Dont worry! one bad test holds less weight than several good tests.

I took PT 88 a few days ago (which I also took as an actual LSAT and the flower game ruined my life BOTH times) but this Flex is likely to be a run of the mill exam with nothing too absurd thrown at you. You've done all the prep, just have faith in yourself!

My best advice would be to ask for 100% accommodations. My friend has ADHD and got 50% so now she has plenty of time. I also have ADHD, but have no doctor so I FEEEL your struggle. Try not to stress, just study and listen to all of the explanations. I started meditating to help my mind not be so fuzzy and distracted.

When I get distracted, I just close my eyes and breathe for 10 seconds and remember why I'm taking this test and that nothing else matters other than comprehending what I am reading and using the skills I've built to answer the questions. Your improvement is amazing!! Don't let anything hold you back, just keep working hard.

this some real big dick energy, thank you!

I saw someone say that he had a bottle but couldn't bring himself to use it so he literally just peed in his pants.

I also have the world's tiniest bladder so I'm planning on refraining from drinking any liquids or consuming caffeine the day of. Might allow myself like 3 small sips of water, one per section haha.

The struggle between A & E is, in my opinion, the worst LSAT conflict ever to arise.

same :-) if anyone has great advice, we are all ears.

my only guess, is read more efficiently because the questions I will typically miss are related to concepts very briefly mentioned and complex in their importance

I'm doing 2-3 PTs a week (I'm not working at the moment tho so I've got the capacity to do this and meaningfully BR) I'm also drilling the hardest questions of each section.

I take notes on my mental state of being before and during each PT as well as what I did strategically (ie, if I skipped many LR questions and came back around, if I skimmed through the LG questions before deciding on creating scenarios, or if I skipped through RC passages to choose the most interesting one first)

This helps me to keep track of what is going on when I get my best results. When I take PT's, I don't usually follow the strict 60-seconds-only in between sections, so I am starting to do follow that strictly to better adhere to actual test day conditions.

Hi I'd love to join this group; or if the group is full, if anyone would like to form a subgroup let me know

Interested! Are there still openings?

interested

You are an angel. Great advice. Sending to all my lsat buddies

I was extremely stuck between C and D. Ultimately came to a different analysis, which proved C wrong.

Answer Choice C: Box office success of a film does not depend on its viewers finding it funny, frightening, or moving.

Stimulus: Box office figures help little, for they indicate only a film's financial success; they do not show what audiences found funny, frightening, or moving.

My analysis: Box office figures of a film could very well depend on its viewers finding it x,y,z. BUT they do not CONVEY or SHOW that data/information.

I thought D was correct as well. I realized that was because I did not understand what the discrepancy actually was.

I misread the very last sentence actually, but still came to B because the other answer choices suck. But not good that I be misreading things :}

yeah, kill me now.

I struggled with the MOST quantifier in C. I thought ok well if most chemical pesticide free items have labels, then at least some do not have labels which makes it possible that Jason accidentally grabs some produce thinking that it is pesticide free when it is not.

I did not feel great about B, but I ultimately thought ok well he must buy all of his produce from another store and only gets like salt and pepper or bread from Kelly's. But I overlooked the premise that Jason buys PRODUCE from Kelly's. I see now how C explains that Kelly's has pesticide-free stuff so it at least could be true that Jason only gets that stuff.

I really struggled with this as well. :/

I incorrectly read "commended" as "condemned". Had a weird feeling about the authors conclusion, but ultimately found (mistaken) solace in answer choice C.

Moral of the story: if something seems off, RE-READ the stimulus... carefully.
