Hey 7Sagers,
Here's the official March 2019 LSAT Discussion Thread.
Please keep all discussions of the March 2019 LSAT here!
Rules:
✅ You can identify experimental sections. 🙆♀️
You can say things such as the following:
- “I had two LGs! Was the LG with "flowers" real or experimental?”
- “I had two RCs! Was the section that starts with the honeybee passage real?”
- “I had three LRs! Does anyone know if the first LR section with the goose question is real?”
❌ You can't discuss specific questions. 🙅♂️
You CANNOT say things such as the following:
- “Hey, the 3rd LG was sequencing and the last one was In/Out, right?” (Don't mention the game type)
- “The last question in the first LR section was a lawgic heavy MBT! Was the answer (B)?” (Don't mention the question type or ask what the answer was)
- “What was the answer for the last question of RC? I think it was an inference question? Was the answer (C)?” (Don't mention the question type or ask what the answer was)
Have fun discussing!

Good luck everyone! See you back here this afternoon
Anyone else working some LG's in a hotel breakfast area waiting for the breakfast to come out? If so, me too. If not, yo're missing out y'all.
Best of luck everyone!
I had LG-LR(25)-LR(26)-RC-LR(25).
LG had game on Quandryville and Pleasantville. Also, the Wu and Zahn co-author game.
RC had passages about the following, in order: (a) tipping in restaurants; (b) Argentinian author, (c) hominids, and (d) comparative law on women's labor.
For LR:
First Q of my first LR (25) section was on restaurants long term versus new patrons and the menu.
For the 26 LR, first Q was on blood transfusions and hepatitis. There were also two sets of the one stimulus, two Q's.
For my last LR (25) the first Q was on the mayor's comment on wild, non domesticated animals and dogs. There was also a question about tutoring students and spelling ability for academic ability towards the end.
I also had LG-LR-LR-RC-LR! Had the same LG and RC. For LR, definitely had the question about restaurants and spelling ability. Does this mean our second LR was the experimental section?
Different order but did not have any blood transfusions q nor any one stimulus two q format. I found 3rd logic game very difficult.
3rd logic game was a huge pain spent so much time on it that I missed half the questions in both games 3 and 4
I had LR, RC, LG, LR, RC - The first RC section was about normal, the last RC section was very difficult for me (Women's rights, Argentina etc. - I think it was real). I thought LG was easy, except the Quandryville and Pleasantville game gave me pause. It seems they had to make up for easy LG with hard RC. I thought both LR sections were easy to medium.
Cheers!

The third logic game was so timr consuming. WU AND ZAHN GAME.
Ugh
Overall I would say the test was "easier" for me compared to January.
@ginaaaaaaaa lol yeah, I nope'ed the hell right outta game 3, thankfully game 4 was much easier, had some time after to brute force answers.
mjmonte17- I had the exact same order as you and have the exact feelings as you for each section. I am hoping to god I did not blow up on that RC section- the last passage on women labor law I had 6 minutes for.
@Phyxius1 Yeah totally, same here. I was certain the last RC was experimental, just due to the fact that P1 had was lengthy and had a ton of detail + some weird grammar, oh well. Probably spend all my intellectual power on the first RC lol.
Sounds like I had the exact sections as you except my order was LR-LR-LG-LR-RC. Wondering which LR was experimental because thought the first one was easiest...
One of my LR sections had questions about road repair and recitals. Anyone else? Thinking this was the experimental for me.
@ata9144 I don't remember a question about that.
I had LG-LR-LR-RC-LR, all my LR sections had 25 questions. I can say that I definitely did not have any two questions sharing one stimulus nor any questions about blood transfusions.
I'm hoping my second LR was the experimental, everything is kinda blurring together now but I'm positive I had questions in LR regarding:
TMAO/carnitine
bean/medieval agriculture
road repairs
replacing washing machines
disagree over: mayor popularity
disagree over: proposal for chemical plant on lake
parallel reason using aliens
Definitely in my LR3 -- Pharmacist recommendation to doctor, wild animal comparison to dogs, adults and child learning through play
LG: Wu/Zahn, criminals and day trips
RC: labor law, hominids, argentinian lit
any guess what the curve will be?
Can anyone confirm in the LR question regarding intravenous vitamins and salinated water was real?
not real i didn't have it
This was my first time taking the test and I had LR-RC-LG-LR-RC. I am hoping that the first RC was the fake one because the last RC had questions about women's rights, tipping....I think and am hoping that one was real because I think I did better on that.
I had same topics as your last RC and my experimental was LR - so that was real one
Oh that is great, I am really bad at logic games, so I struggled with them a ton, and the first RC, so I am glad that it wasn't real. That makes me feel a lot better.
I am wondering about that as well.
@marismvp David Killoran is saying -11
Wow, I’ve got to say I don’t feel great about that test. I’ve identified what the experimental section was, and unfortunately it wasn’t the LG. My PTs have consistently been between 165 and 169 with a couple unusually high ones (174 and 179), but I’ve never had such a tough time finding inferences in the LG. I’ll be thrilled to have gotten a 165, but I’m not holding my breath. My advice to anyone studying is to take the PTs in a public place with plenty of distractions. My testing center had a desk the size of a small dinner plate and the ambient noise really distracted me. Good luck all, I’ll repost my score in 2-3 weeks.
I had LR-LR-LG-LR-RC.. wondering which would be experiment
Anyone take the European test? I had LR-LG-LR-LR-RC
I know there’s no right or wrong answers, but I’m just curious what you guys picked to argue on the writing section?
I had LG LR LR RC LR
LG - coauthor one was all I remember but remember it all felt challenging cause I was having a harder time making inferences
LR - wish I could remember
LR - I remember first question was about birds honestly the rest is a blur and I believe non domesticated animal question too
RC - tipping, opposing a bill, hominids, Latin America book
LR - morally wrong properly inferred question and I think it was about deception? Idk
I’m trying to figure out experimental if someone thinks they know although I realize I didn’t put too much info lol
@hogan1081 Formal Scheduling Squad checking in
Yes, for the LR, I remember the TMAO/carnitine (though I don't remember which one of my 3 LR sections it was). I remember the chemical plant, and the pharmacist recommendation and adult/child play/learning Qs.
So do we think this means that the test is only 100 questions (and that 26-Q LR I had was experimental??)
The womens' rights was real! I only had one RC section and the womens' rights was on there.
Here's a great post that talks about which are real etc. -- I completely concur based on my test. I had the wonky two Qs per 1 stimulus twice in that 26-Q LR section of mine.

Wow are those single-stimulus-with-double-questions from Pre-PT 40, coming back to town?
I think so!! The past 2 undisclosed tests have had experimental sections with them!
Wow. I don't necessararily think this is bad or anything but just odd! They were gone for a little less than 2 decades!
Is anyone considering canceling their score? I rely on -0 on the LG to boost my overall score, I skipped and came back to the 3rd to last game (Co author game?, I can't remember its all a blur now)
i'm always baffled but how everyone remembers questions and sections, all i remember is.. 3 LR sec 1 rc 1 lg, and some writing question about musicians, everything else i a complete blur. I was happy to see 3 LR and not 2 RC!
We had the same test, i cant remember any of the test but seeing your post it all kind of came back, the anxiety, the tears and impending feeling of doom.
I actually got that question kind hope it wasnt real
welp i just purchased the premium package...lets go JUNE 3rd lol
THATS THE SPIRIT !!! lol
I think that was the experimental section, based on what lots of people are saying. So I would say they are considering it! They were back-to-back, practically, too, (in one section even), which really surprised me.
@theLSATdreamer maybe you surprised yourself! PS - you going to UConn?
IF my score permits me... yes, i get tuition waiver form the army so its basically free school, only paying for the fees, but i'm already back on the studying wagon getting ready for the june test.
I'm in the same situation right now. I feel like maybe I should cancel because I rely on -0 for LG but I was really shaky on this one
The results are coming soon for the March lsat. I cannot wait for this wait to be over. I find myself more and more anxious for these results.
I’m hoping the scores are released on Thursday. This wait is torture!
Waiting.... Waiting.... Waiting...
