Were you testing at the University of Houston? Cause they did that to me too. LSAC sent an email at 10am changing classrooms and on top of that we started the test super late because they weren't ready.
Does anyone know a similar PT game to Scheduling 5 people over 7 months and computer repair?
Thank you
I know it's too late, but presumably you might take again, so a few tips from someone who's taken twice:
sorry, no good tips here. stylus is trash and don't use it. (perhaps try a few pt's with zero highlighting?)
that sucks. always be last person in the check in line, and hit the bathroom shortly before you get to the front -- minimize your chances of needing it during first 3 sections.
do all your PT's and all your LG's with homemade scratch paper booklets: buy a ream of 11" x 17" paper for $15, take out a stack of 4 sheets, fold it in the middle, put in a couple staples in the spine (at slightly wonky angles because the stapler's not long enough). just use the 14 pages in the middle (on the real thing, the front and back covers have a bunch of printing on them). makes 125 scratch booklets.
plan your space usage for worst case scenario (an experimental LG section), and practice accordingly.
yeah, this sucks. what the hell -- LSAC announced they were getting rid of this rule in early Oct, then continued to enforce it in Oct and Nov sitting.
take your PT's somewhere loud, or with the 7sage proctor with the noises set way up. then get used to sticking your fingers in your ears while reading RC passages and LR stims.
if you feel like a weirdo sticking your fingers in your ears, it's easy to do it surreptitiously with your thumbs: support your head like this guy by putting your elbows on the table and the tips of your fingers on your forehead and your thumbs on your cheeks, then move the flat of your thumbs onto your earholes and press hard. it's really very effective.
LR LG LR LR RC.
RC on nonfiction cinema, whorfian linguistics, water treaties, and microchips is real.
LG on visiting different countries, cooking ingredients, visiting factories is real.
I remember both of these but I had 3 LR so idk if its experimental either
For anyone with two LR, did anyone have a question about apricots and peach plants?
Nope
I think there was game about scheduling 6 months of work (at two different places) over a period of 9 months. forgot which PT this was on, either C2 (Jan 2016) or PT 86 or 85?
I only had one game section, which included the soup ingredients as well as the visiting countries (India, France), so those must have been real for those of you who had two games sections.
Definitely must have been experimental. I had three LR sections and did not encounter the cyclist question.
That one was relatively easier because it was a simple in and out, but the test on Monday also included sequencing. I was lost and confused at first, but was then able to solve for most of the questions.
I meant same topic
When will we know the curve?
Ok this is it for me! I ended up canceling the September test because of I suffered a blackout on that horrific LG section and came to when they called time. The soonest I could retest was November. Everything was going pretty well until my last section RC. At around question 17 I could not enter some of my answers. Neither the stylus nor my finger worked. I tried everything, then the proctors came over and also had no luck. By that point I had to shoo them away just to see if I could get anything to stick. On some only a few of the choices would register. They took my name etc but I just cant keep taking this test!
Hows the curve work? is -10 about an average curve?
Yes and I believe that was towards the end, ~#19, since I had to guess before time runs out.
Ithe release date doesn't make sense for those who would like to register for the Jan test.
For those who also had this order: LR,LG,LR,LR,RC, do you think each LR section might be arranged differently than another person who also had the same order? For example, the 1st LR on your test is the one before RC on another person's test. Reason I am asking is my fourth LR was extremely difficult and some said it was their first, so really hoping it is the same LR we are both talking about.🤞🏻
I definitely missed that one. I saved it for last and spent my last two minutes of time trying to figure it out. The wording was confusing.
This is incredibly helpful, thank you!
SW VA test center in Abington VA was excellent.
It does take extra practice to get accustomed to tablet.
Urinary urgency does not help test scores,so bring your pullups if that is the case for you.
All I could recall is that my last LR (the one before RC) has 25 questions.
Does anyone know if you're allowed to access your ziploc if a test is delayed for awhile and you're in the test room, like if you want a snack or a tissue?
I had LR (26) LG LR (26) LR (25) but I found the first LR easier ? Compare to the second LR (26).... which one is the experimental ?
Sounds like a grey-area issue, that would depend on the proctor. I think most proctors wouldn't prevent you from doing so, but I'm speculating.
When are scores suppose to be released? I can’t find anything on LSAC.
Dec. 19
Can anyone tell me what the dimensions are for the scratch paper booklet you are given? It's it the standard letter size (8.5x11)? I want to make sure my diagramming isn't taking up too much space during the actual exam. Thanks!
Like a regular sized piece of notebook paper without the lines. Plenty of paper for the test
Thanks!
anyone know what time scores drop???
My sep results came in at 8:07am EST, hoping its about the same time
Are the scores posted on your LSAC account before you get the email?
Mine was posted. Haven't received the email yet
I got it. 6 point improvement. thanks 7 sage. good enough for where im applying.
A bit frustrated. A one point decline from September. I gambled and decided to apply later in the cycle thinking I had a good shot to improve on September. Didn't work out. Not the end of the world I guess.
that last game really F'd me up. 5 points down the drain.
10 point increase since my last take in Jan 19. JY is an awesome teacher and 7Sage really works if you put in the work. Well worth the money invested.
I just want to share that I got my goal score! Improved 20 points over two years and this was my third take. I wrote the September exam as well and was devastated to score only a point higher than my first take two years prior. I'm a 29 y.o. mom to a toddler, I spent so much time away from him in order to study, and this just validates all of that work.
If there's one humble piece of advice I can offer to anyone looking to improve their score, it's to study with and tutor others who are below your current level. I'm convinced it made the difference for me between the September and November administrations and only wish I'd done it sooner.
Wishing everyone the best today!
Studied since June and got a great score.7sage you rock!! Well worth money
So I didn't get my goal score, and I'm about 12 points away from it. Do you guys think I should do the January LSAT or wait???
Happy with my November score, my first and only LSAT test. I got a 9 point increase from diagnostic after only about 2 months of reasonably light studying a few weeknights per week, and doing 5 PTs throughout November. Thanks 7sage!
I found there to be an abundance of scratch paper. It was an A4-sized booklet with several pages, I didn't count but I would guess at least 10 double sided leafs. I probably used about 5% of the space. My efforts to learn to write very small and compact were in vain, in the exam I felt like I could have written obnoxiously large diagrams and still had some breathing room. In fact someone near me was doing exactly that - literally dragging their pencil across entire pages like they were trying to cut the book in half. Not at all what I expected!
9 point increase for the November lsat from last year. Thanks 7sage for all your help!
Congrats! Wish I could be in your shoes re: 2 months of light studying and first and only LSAT! Not taking mine til next June so fingers crossed. And thanks for the heads up about the scratch paper
So I took the November exam, after taking then cancelling my score on the notorious Sept LG apocalypse. I did decently well but about 5 points short of my average (I'd consistently been getting 170+). To be honest, I thought the LGs in Nov were not much easier than the Sept ones. I'd gotten -0 or -1 on most past LG sections and expected Nov to revert to the mean. Is this the new normal? Or should I give it one more push?
It is not enough time to study from exactly right now to the 13th of Jan, unless you can buckle down and be confident enough to get your goal score!
Go to Powerscore
Take test
check answers
Enjoy
Does anyone know PTs with a similar game to the trip to india LG? I had trouble with that one. If anyone has an approach/gameboard (three level sequencing?) to that game please let me know! Thanks!
