I retook the RC from the June exam yesterday, and still missed 5 (on the actual exam I missed 7, wrecking my score). I've got to say, I am very confused about some of these questions, even upon review and under untimed conditions. Fair to say it's one of the hardest RC sections of all time? I had 2 RC sections on test day, and the experimental one was SO MUCH EASIER.
Is anyone who took the June exam willing to go back and forth about some of these questions?

I feel like the argument can be made for hardest ever. From what I can remember of my practice tests I only remember one other being as difficult (I can't remember offhand which that was however, just that it has a similarly vague and philosophical passage as the inference one). Though I will say that it's hard to say for certain because this was the actual test rather than practice. So I'm sure my nerves at the time/bias in wanting to justify my score play into it a bit.
Interestingly, on the Powerscore blog, one of their test prep experts claimed that it was a very average RC section.
@LSATiscoming I don't mind going back and forth about some of the questions. PM me.
Awesome -- I'll shoot you over a message with some of the questions I had troubles with in a bit. Thank you!
this makes me nervous to use it as a PT lol
To this I would say, never trust just one opinion when it comes to something so subjective. They likely came to it with heightened expectations and so it might not seem as bad to them, or maybe they were more familiar with the subject matter, etc. Best to wait for 7Sagers to enter their answers on practice tests and see where the statistics land.
I found it extremely challenging, got a minus 6 on test day, haven't blind reviewed that section yet.
Maybe this is just me, but I didn't think it was a particularly challenging RC. Got -2 on the section on test day, which is about what I expected. But honestly, I think I just got lucky that there was no art passage (hallelujah), since I consistently found those the most challenging and time-consuming (having less than zero prior knowledge lol).
Glad to see that someone else find the Art passages the most difficult.
