I'm sure we all did fine.
I tried a new RC strategy today, and skipped the comparative passage. I figured that if there wasn't a lot of time when I got back to it, I could read at least one of the two sections real quick and have a chance at the questions.
I'm glad I did. That physics passage about the Big Bang was hard. Ironically, I was listening to a Joe Rogan podcast on the way to the test center with a mathematician who was trying to explain the Big Bang. I honestly think both those things saved me for that passage, and all of RC. I know that I would have drowned instead of treading water.
Had 3 LR. I think I screwed up big time....couldn't finish LR. sigh...
@Eric szkarlat same! I was wondering which LG was experimental. Thank God.
Best nap I've ever had is post LSAT! I dreamed about car theft and monkeys eating leaves for medicinal purposes. ?
Same here, man. All 3 LR sections were hard. Definitely less cookie cutter and more curveball questions than preptests 50's and below.
Every LSAT test must have 1LG and any additional would be the extra or the experimental. So for those of us that only had 1 LG and it was the one with the mining companies and we are all confirming this together, we are not guessing, we can be sure that this is the one that is graded.
These are the only things I can remember from the LG but I can't remember anything from the other section (so am unsure whether I did badly on the experimental):
- Headquarter one
-The one with J,K, L, H, N...
That mining LG was unfortunate
Hey guys,
due to a concussion I'm writing the LSAT in a private room on Monday. I am seeing a lot of mixed comments on the degree of difficulty. Is there anything I should potentially review or go over before writing the exam? I'm getting extremely nervous. Were the LR sections really that hard?
Same
Yeah> @Kermit750 said:
I thought the exact same thing. See PT 11.
Ok, seriously, I want my score already.
At first when I left the test, I was like, “Man, that LR was easy as hell. I killed that shit.” Then I saw people saying it’s hard on here and on Reddit. Now I’m like, “Man, did I go for a bunch of trap answer choices? Oh no! No law school for me, i guess.” Yeah, so, maybe I’m not taking the next 3 weeks off haha
I’d be interested in knowing how that worked out for you. I have an exact opposite strategy. I always do comparative first. For a couple reasons, mainly I can get a rhythm going (hard for me to do that in RC). I always just read Passage A, then do the questions that pertain to that, then B, and the rest. Since I started that strategy, I rarely miss a question in the comparatives. I did multiverses last, and I got to read it and do questions, but I didn’t feel confident in my understanding. I was happy I devoted less time to that one because I felt there were some questions that I maybe just wouldn’t have gotten.
Do they release the test itself before our scores? Or do we just have to wait three weeks?
Pretty sure it all comes at once. You’ll get PDFs of the test, your bubble sheet, your writing sample, all in your LSAC account.
Has anyone heard of a test site being cancelled the night before the test? I was scheduled to take the test in Fair Lawn and received and email the night before stating it was cancelled. How does LSAC correct this issue? I want to be able to take the test twice (November and January) before having to submit applications for the 2019 Fall enrollment. Thanks in advance for any help or input.
I messed up on the last game of the real LR. The one with Saturday- Sunday sequencing. I drew the diagram with only 6 days instead of 7 and only realized this mistake at the 5 minute warning. I bubbled c for the answers for this game. Got through mining and still had 13 minutes left. Thought the fourth game was the hard one because I messed up my diagram! Can’t believe it!
Two questions:
Is the AC order the same for everyone within each question?
If so, does anyone remember how many if any Cs were correct ACs for this game?
the movie passage was absurdly difficult to parse. Started off ok and by the end I had no idea what the purpose was.
You're not crazy, I recognized it too! It was on a pretty recent PT too. Basically the same content as far as I remember
Same here. It started off fine, but then they started talking about musicals and realism on the 2nd half, and I was like what... the... f... is this??
I think there may have been couple C's, but honestly I can't really remember.
Lol. The converse happened to me, where I had to bubble all C's for the mining game. I know there were only 5 Qs for this game, but do you remember if any correct ones were C's?
I had 3 LR sections - during the first section, on about question 12, my contact fell out and I took the rest of the test until the break with my left eye. I'm actually more concerned with how many people are saying the mining game was difficult - makes me think I might have thought it was too easy and completely messed it up. Oh well, most likely going to have to retake anyways!
So I showed up to my testing center yesterday at around 8 am, at the local university and (for whatever reason in my head) I assumed the test will be held at the law college on campus. I happened to have to be dropped off also, but I didn't think that would be an issue, I just told my ride I'd meet him at 1:30 after it's done etc.
Anyway, I go into the law school and notice there is no one around at all, and certainly not anyone with plastic bags. It occurs to me that the test is not going to be there. I manage to find a girl and show her my ticket and she tells me that the location is actually across campus at the most opposite spot that it could be. She said "don't worry it'll only take you about 20 minutes if you run".
Now, of course, we don't have our cell phones on us because of the test, so I can't call my ride and i can't check the time, but I'm guessing that it is about 8:15 at this point. So I just begin running as fast as my out-of-shape legs can carry me. It is mostly uphill and the morning was about 42 degrees. But every time I wanted to stop I just kept asking myself "DO YOU REALLY WANT TO DO ALL THIS AGAIN IN JANUARY?" So I kept going. I finally found the general area around where I thought it might be, and had to rudely interrupt a group of students who were having a conversation to ask them if they knew where the hall was. Luckily I was close so I finished my mad dash and got in line to enter the room. I was the last one let in and they shut the door.
All I can say to my dumb*ss self is I have spent the last 6 months learning not to assume anything until proof is provided, so why in the Sam Hell did I make that huge assumption??? Don't be like me kids.
The game was really straightforward if you got the setup right. I think it wasn't intuitive for a lot of test takers. It was one of those games that makes you freeze and spin your wheels. Don't think the game itself was difficult though.
I'm going to go out on a limb and say C was the answer for 20% * however many questions that game had.
Don't think we're allowed to tell you what to focus on or anything like that. I predict a normal curve though so don't sweat it and do your best!
does anyone remember the LR question about ants and conifer trees?
I don't know why but I laughed out loud at this, out of context.
Haha yeah - thanks a lot. I always read those comments like prepare for the worst, but I didn’t think I needed to practice taking the test with one eye closed. Just a suggestion for all you out there who wear contacts, try a section with only your non-dominate eye!
I DEFINITELY saw a repeat LR question and I'm kinda mad that I can't remember it right now!!!
Hi, I'm just wondering, how do people know if a section was real or not? Have the sections been released yet by LSAC?
I had two LR sections, and Bonobos was one of them, so I think it was real!
If someone had 2LGs, then they know that their 2LRs and 1RC were real. someone with 3LRs, 1LG and 1RC would know their LG and RC was real. So people are able to figure out which sections are experimental by talking with other people, who had a different experimental than them
I had the snifflers all over, a few coughers. Not super horrible. I almost started getting into the rhythm of my neighbors' constant sniffles. LoL. Gotta love cold and flu season.
The second one I can recall was on car theft and homing devices I believe. Those were the only two that stuck out to me.
I feel like this rings a bell for me... and my experimental was RC. I could be wrong, things are blurry. Do you remember anything else about the stimulus?
I feel the same way! I had time to review one LR section and finished the other with a minute to spare. I've had PTs like this and some of them have been my top scores... some have shown me that I can move too quickly and fall into traps..
I had this question so it must've been real
Section 1: LR
Section 2: RC
Section 3: LR
Section 4: LR
Section 5: LG
COULD SOMEONE HELP TELL ME WHAT WOULD BE MY EXPERIMENTAL?
@jemerigbe2 your experimental is one of the LR sections you took. If you scroll through this thread, you'll see that the two scored sections have been identified by some of the stimulus subject matter.
Do you guys remember whether the LR section with question about a girl sending her application to be considered for an award, and mailing her application within 10 days was an experimental or the actual??
It was real, I had 2 LRs and seen this question.
I remember this one because I thought that amazon prime and the express option was totally going to screw people up
It's Monday morning post-LSAT and I am lost with what to do with my time since I am not studying. Anyone feeling the same weird way? Lol
That multiverse passage was brutal. I got through 1/2 the questions are started really wondering if I understood whose side the author was on. I only got to answer 2 questions on the comparative and blind guessed on the other 4. The first two passaged seemed pretty straight forward.
I'm brutally awful at RC, my goal was to go under - 10 on that section-- I feel like I might have accomplished that.
F yes I do I must've spent at least 2 minutes on that one and changed my answer 3 times.
Should've just guessed and bubbled D and cut my losses after reading through it for the first time because I left 3 questions on the table that I had to randomly guess on that section.
Absolutely, it's a weird reality not having to study right now
Gosh yes! I feel so unproductive. I've been binge watching some TV shows when I know I should be working on apps smh.
Yes apps...part 2 of the process...i told myself i would take this week off, celebrate Thanksgiving with my family bc my nose has been in the books for months and come Monday I'll get right back on it.... any shows to recommend?
