Section ordering

electricblue

Are there only two orders for the test sections or could there be more variations? I had LG-LR-LG-LR-RC, so it's obvious that I had LG as an experimental section, while others had RC, LR, LG, LR, RC. But could someone else with LG as an experimental section have, say, RC, LG, LR, LG, LR? I'm trying to figure out whether section 1 or section 3 was experimental in my case, because I left three or four blank at the end of section 1 so I'm really hoping it didn't count. I had thought we'd get a 1 minute warning during which I would have made sure *something* was bubbled in, but all of the sudden we were told to drop our pencils.

It could be in any ordering.

@Curtis90 - Oh damn. I'd seriously pay $50-$100 extra at this point for faster grading to get this over with. LOL.

I had LR-RC-LG-RC-LR

@Kristina - Excellent, thanks - that 100% confirms that there are multiple orders for it and there's zero point in my trying to figure it out!

If you go over to TLS (LSAT Prep forum->December Waiters Thread), they've figured out which sections were real and which were exp based on what others had. I'm not sure how strict 7sage is with mentioning broad topics, so I won't list those sections here.

Delete this if it's too revealing, but the LG with the multicolored rugs was the real section. I had LR-LG-LR-RC-LR.

@turnercm I had the same order. Do you have a guess on which sect was experimental?

turnercm

@avstepanian Pretty sure the first LR (for me) was the easiest, and also, of course, the experimental. It did give me a nice confidence boost for the rest of the exam (before I figured out it was probably experimental hahaha)

The LR sections that were real had the Hans purple question in one, and the melatonin drug question in the other.

@avstepanian. Here are the sections with broad subject matter:

LR1: Hans purple/ancient column construction
LR2: Doves in orchards/melatonin
RC: Perfume/lawyers "stealing thunder"/free will/Mexican American politics
LG: Musical instruments/lectures & oil, lithography, etc./rug thread colors/photos at school ceremony
