    @saberati was your last game one about quilts/rugs at a fair? (Or maybe I’m just making up the part at the fair lol)

    Question about LR experimental sections:
    Are real questions mixed with fake questions throughout the 3 LR sections?
    Or is it the case that if you get 3 LR sections-2 sections are ENTIRELY real and 1 section is ENTIRELY not real?

    Was the string quartet LG real? Something like picking 2 violin players, piano etc.

    My head is so cluttered I can’t remember if it was in the same section as the robbery game.

    Actually felt like I made a major improvement over my last score on this LSAT! February wasn't half as scary as I thought it would be haha.

    I got LG LR RC(fake) RC(real) LR. Felt like LG was a breeze, LR was kind of weird but manageable, and RC was very tough—I was pissed to see that (edited) was the real section.

    I would not be entirely surprised if my score breakdown was the reverse of my December performance (with LG being best and RC being worst this time, vs RC best LG worst in December). Anyone else feel this way?

    I agree. I thought LG was easier n RC were a lot more difficult to read. One (I forget which) I felt like they wrote it then sat down with a thesaurus n changed words for fun -they didn't seem natural. I thought LR had some weird hybrid question stems. Like they want us to waste time having to read them.

    Very interesting! And I thought RC (edited) was my strongest section with LG being reliably my weakest haha.

    The LSAT can definitely throw us for a loop.

    I guess this goes to show that the same test form can be an entirely different experience for different individuals.

    Congrats on making it through Feb. everyone!!!

    Did you have this order: LG, LR, LG, RC, LR

    Because that was mine and I'm in the same spot. Head is so cluttered I can't remember which game fell in which section, as they were so close together. If that was your order do you remember if the string quartet was in the 1st or 3rd LG section? Because the string quartet/loading bays section was apparently experimental.

    Really curious bc I totally bombed the first game section...

    LG with truck on east west north south, is it real? It was the Section 3. The second LG for me.

    @BagelBiter You're not alone!

    I had the same sections as you in the same order today, and also took the December LSAT, scored like you then, and feel exactly the same in every respect!

    I'm guessing my Feb. score will be identical to December too, because of these trade-offs... unless I did much better on the LR sections, which I can't really say. I'm tempering my hopes of a higher score.

    Crazy that we had the same exact order!

    Here's to hoping that your LR sections brought you up! I'm sure you made more of an improvement than you're feeling like you did now. Oftentimes, it's easy to be pessimistic over the uncertainty that one or two tricky questions in a section can cause.

    Just remember that the huge majority of questions that we're NOT dwelling on immediately post-test are the ones that will make the positive difference in our scores.

    Yeah there was definitely some wack phrasing in the question stems and the (edited) RC passage (at least in my experience).

    Just remember that it's all noise though—as long as you get the jist of what they're asking/saying, you're well equipped to attack the questions with the logic necessary to get them correct.

    Yes, true! Thanks. Good reminder, @BagelBiter !

    The fact that I didn't bomb any section today should theoretically require a better result! (I totally bombed the Dec. LG, like 50% pure guessing. On the Feb. real RC, my worst part today, I'm sure I hit at least 75%) ... I feel I had a "stronger LSAT performance" today, I'm just trying not to guess a number (I really don't understand how people can do that). I've already been accepted to several schools with my Dec. score (relief!), and am hoping to get scholarship leverage and/or admission to my reach school with this one.

    I do hope the LSAT scorers send results early again like they did in December! At least the 2018 PYEONGCHANG WINTER OLYMPICS will provide a fun distraction while waiting for scores! I'll start checking for scores after the Olympics end on Feb. 25th, and if they don't release until March 8th?-- THAT is going to be hard. :persevere:
