I don't remember that question on mine and I had 3 LR.
I did not have a question about samurai, and also had 3 LR. I also did not have the probiotics & baby question that powerscore says was in the real LR.

I had 2 LR and I remember getting the probiotic question.
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?

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 was the opposite. I found RC (with the beetles) to be a breeze and LG to be brutal.
There was also a LR question about forging an authors handwriting because the pressure applied was even or something like that. I’m not sure what section that was though

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.

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.
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...

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.

@sarahkay@hmette string quartet Q was experimental. I had the same order as you. It was in the 3rd section. 1st LG section was real.

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.

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.
Comments
Yes! I had to skip one, go to next then go back. I was hoping for the experimental to be real
I'm still confused on what the real RC was
I had that. And ditto .... haha. I guessed on 1 game, and half of another. Did not do as good as I have been on FPing games and my PTs
I had 3 LR.
One of them had a question about samurai children. Was that one real?
I don't remember that question on mine and I had 3 LR.
My last game was students and economics classes aka prerequisites
Same... I absolutely bombed the first LG section in the exam
Here's a list of real vs. exp questions.
https://forum.powerscore.com/lsat/viewtopic.php?t=16485
Real RC was Web Dubois and beetle passage!
Because us that only had 1 LG section had a game about robbery (man woman siren) and one with prerequisites
Copyrighting, beetle larvae & beavers, African American author, lying and democracy
X2.
I did not have a question about samurai, and also had 3 LR. I also did not have the probiotics & baby question that powerscore says was in the real LR.
I had 2 LR and I remember getting the probiotic question.
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?
@saberati - thank you! ugh I was hoping cholera was real and not beetle larvae bleh
I didn't have the probiotics question either!
I am close to thinking they are mixed...
2 are entirely real, 1 is entirely experimental.
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.

Yes, exactly the same here. Was really hoping that first RC was the real one!
Any word on the curve? How will this work with no 26q on lr?
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!!!
I had LG LR LG RC LR. The Powerscore link posted above by @KevinA14 is spot on. The second LG on my test (Section 3) was experimental.
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.

LG with truck on east west north south, is it real? It was the Section 3. The second LG for me.
I had LG LR LG RC LR.
RC had DuBois and Washington, Copyright, Beetle, Justified lying (not in order).
.
@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 had only one LG and didn't have a game like that.
How do I delete a comment hahaha

So for the LR LG LR LR RC, which LR was the experimental?
The copyright one was between 2 'arguments' A&B
Sorry, confused here. Was yoga real or not real?
Dude, I know right? Those games had me off the bat gasping for oxygen
Was yoga real or not real for lg section. My brain is mush
27
Bugs/copyright/African American influencers, I might be missing 1
Don't think so
Here here
Yoga was experimental. Check here for best solid updates: https://forum.powerscore.com/lsat/viewtopic.php?t=16485
