Guys are we allowed to ask about the rules for the M/S/T game? Not inferences, I just cant seem to remember the rules/game itself and i'm trying desperately to recreate it in hopes of seeing if i got a question right.
I know it was 4 people, 3 cities.
thanks.

Which question are you worried about? #23? hehehe

No, cannot discuss the details of the game other than section# and keywords.

There's been some solid analysis online regarding the curves that can be expected from different test dates. June exams disproportionately have a -10 curve. In fact, the vast majority are -10, with very few exceptions. Typically, the more generous curves (-12, -13) occur with the December exam. September/October usually comes up in the middle, leaning toward -10. I have no idea why this is, but the numbers don't lie.

Granted, there's bound to be an exception at some point -- maybe we'll luck out!

Can someone explain what a -10 curve means. Like a sample score breakdown. Thanks

the curve refers to how many you can get wrong for a 170. for a -10 would mean that 10 questions wrong would get you a 170.

Thanks. That makes sense

I'm hoping for a better curve like -12 or -13 for a 170. Logic Games has always been my best section so I don't think having the games be pretty easy helps me. I finished the logic games section with 7 minutes remaining and went back over almost every question to double check, do iterations, to make sure my answers were correct, pretty sure I got 23-0, at least let's hope so. I consistently got 22-1 on practice tests no matter the difficulty. I had the LR RC LR LG LR setup. I wish I had the double logic game setup or that the LG section came earlier so it could have given me confidence because I feel really good about the last two sections. I was very nervous and had a lot of adrenaline going so that first section of LR really got me going, which I think is confirmed to have been the experimental section. I feel pretty good about RC except the inference passage, I had a hard time understanding one of the sentences that talked about the baby experiment which was annoying, I honestly couldn't get a good group of what happened in the test, it seemed like the sentence was contradictory. Then the third section, LR, I felt pretty good about. Anyhow, I'm anxious as I'm sure everyone else is to see what my score will be. Sometimes I took practice tests and didn't feel great about them but ended up with a good score, so I really don't know. I could have done really well or average, hoping to be the former of the two! I loved studying for the LSAT, I don't know what else to do now! Starting to read books that are good for pre-law and what not, and I still find myself doing sections of LSAT prep tests because I like them, I think they work your brain in a good way.

I also recall having quite a bit of straight line bubbling, mainly in LR if I can remember. It was freaking me out. Anyone else have that?

Hope everyone did well!

So apparently the LR question with the school deciding whether to allow students to use online sources on papers was experimental (I had a feeling when answering it). Does anyone else remember any other questions that were in the same section as this? I had 3 LR sections, and for some reason, I feel like I had this question later in the test. Like the 3rd or 5th section.

Yes- I had straight line bubbling too in one of the LR sections. I've heard from others that they had the same thing.
