    Was the question about the author’s tone/attitude In the14th Amendment passage “noxious aspects”?

    That's what I chose :)

    Wtf were any of the RC passages trying to say??? I couldn’t get a solid grasp of the MP on any of the 4, and I didn’t feel sure about ANY of the answer choices that I selected....literally not one. And while I’m not usually great, I’m actually not completely terrible at RC. #panicking

    Thanks! But ugh I thought that one was experimental bc the questions felt really weird.... like the dogs/cats one.. and the MBF question about liking people and respecting them. Gahhh.

    Can anyone confirm how many questions were in the real RC? I mayyyy have misbubbled.

    There were 26 questions in one of the LR sections, so I think that means RC had 25

    Sigh I feel like the test was super easy and I just got pressurised by the time which is my biggest weakness! I feel like the LG was soooo easy no overload of complicated conditional
    Rules and only One rule substitution question? Anyway I had the following order
    LR -
    RC - law, horses, music (wtf was that?!?! It was French to me) and seismic activity
    LR -
    LR-
    LG - I think it was scheduling on 7 weeks? Assigning in booths? Can’t remember the other 2...

    I really think I am going to take it in November again. I just need to manage my time. I feel like the questions on LR were fairly easy I just went dumb cuz of time
    Pressure.

    Some are saying the 1st section, others are saying the 3rd section (2nd LR). I also read even if you have the same sequence, the experimental can be in different spots.

    Positive RC had 27 as well.

    Same. Both of the passages had me extremely confused. I had to guess on some of the questions due to lack of time...since it took me sooo effing long to get some sort of idea what was going on.

    Anyone which was the experimental in the LR-RC-LR-LR-LG test?

  • practicethepausepracticethepause Alum Member

    I had LR, RC, LR, LR, LG.

    My first two LRs had 26 questions each and my last LR had 25. I'm assuming that one of my first two LRs had an experimental.

    In S1 LR, I had a question about Freud? I'm not sure if I'm spelling it right...
    In S3 LR, I had a question about the economist talking about small and medium businesses.

    Does anyone remember any one of these questions and if so, can identify which one is the EXP section? T.T <3

    The economist one (which also had something about bumblebees) was the real LR

    I don’t know if I agree with Powerscore. I felt like it was a -11 and even a -12 curve. Felt like Sept 2017’s test in terms of difficulty.

    Ah, I see. That was my only hope of figuring out which LR is experimental. I can't remember which section had what questions, too many questions. Only LR question I remember for sure is that Section 2 had a difficult disagree question about pharmaceutical patents, early question too. And so, the wait begins...

    Sorry for my ignorance, but what is this -10, -11, -12 curve mean? Is it how many you can miss and still score a 170?

    My info could be wrong though! I just snuck a peak at Powerscore's board and saw a lot of all kinds of speculations. But I remember that question so that section is probably real. The one with one about the desert fleas?

    WEIRD I had LR RC LR LR LG and my first LR had 25 Qs, and that one was experimental!! Did not have a Q about Freud :) Did had a Q about psychologists prescribing meds tho

    What was that fairy ring question though...... ??

  • TeaLoverTeaLover Alum Member

    I think this test has standard 101 questions. For me it was: RC 27 LR 26 (RC 27 experimental) LG 23 LR 25
    I have a (weird) habit to circle the number of questions when I am super nervous lol.

    Was this the one about the burrowing bugs and dry land patches or something? And they wanted you to strengthen the argument that it was burrowing that caused the dry land?

    Thoughts/Analysis:
    LG - I felt like the LGs weren't stupendously hard. Nothing compared to the dinosaur or virus games, but all of them felt like at least 3+stars, and there was a lot of brute forcing required.
    RC - The comp passage was probably the easiest. The law passage was very difficult, because it used a two layered logic in its reasoning and the author was ambivalent on the topic.
    LR - The experimental section was very difficult. The other LR sections were reasonable, and I would say about average. Not too many time waster parallel reasoning questions, except for a super long NA question.

    I felt like it allowed me to perform average. I feel like it was one of the most standard LSATs I've ever taken. I'm hopeful~ Sounds like it didn't go too poorly for you?
