Hey 7Sagers,

Here's the official November 2022 LSAT Discussion Thread.

REMINDER: Under your Candidate Agreement, you may not discuss the details of any specific LSAT questions at any time. For the November LSAT, general discussion of what sections you had, or how difficult you found a given section, or speculation about which sections were scored or unscored, is prohibited until after 9pm ET, Tuesday, November 15th.

Posts that violate these rules will be taken down and may result in disciplinary action from LSAC. Let’s work together to ensure the test is fair to everyone, and not share information before everyone has taken the test.

Some examples of typical comments:

The following comments are okay 🙆‍♀️
- the section on Cambodian woodworking really had me second guessing everything.
- a few of the games had me confused but think I was okay.
- overall fair test, struggled on a couple of RC passages (damn you polymorphic molecules) but think I was okay hoping for a -2 or -3

The following comments are over the line 🙅‍♂️
- the passage on Cambodian woodworking didn’t count.
- I had Cambodian woodworking, Fireflies, and rice farming in Iowa so Lithuanian Lithograph Libraries was experimental.
- fair test but struggled on a couple RC passages (polymorphic molecules anyone? Thankfully it didn’t count). Don’t want to take again in June
- Anyone know if Polygamist Societies in the 1880s was real or experimental?
- Please tell me that polygon dice game didn’t count

Good luck to everyone taking the November LSAT!

Please keep all discussions of the November 2022 LSAT here!

    I had the exact same thing and am also feeling devastated about RC, which sucks bc I was aiming for 175+. I ran out of time and had to rush the last comparative section, also the second reading was rough

    Similar, I usually get -0 to -2 on LG, and I think I got at least 5 wrong here. I have a really hard time replicating my LG practice test scores on the real test tho. Not being able to achieve my practice scores on the real test is the most frustrating thing about this exam for me.

    Feeling pretty bummed. This is my 4th LSAT and I did pretty well on my last try, but not good enough to get accepted off the waitlist so I was optimistic i'd be able to beat my score and get myself over the 165 threshold for this cycle.

    I woke up yesterday after having a terrible sleep the night before despite trying to mitigate that by exercising hard early in the day and taking prescription sleeping pills before bed. I slept maybe 3 hours in the 10 hours I gave myself. I was just completely restless. I then woke up 2 hours before my exam with the beginnings of a cold so felt foggy and terrible.

    I ended up with LR-LG-RC-LR. First LR felt fine...but I fully didn't finish game #3 about the dog walking. I must have missed an inference/spent way too long on games 1 and 2 because none of the games seemed very difficult...it was just like I couldn't get my head in it so I guessed on probably 6 or 7 Qs which I am SO disappointed about. RC felt difficult, especially the one passage with 8 (???) questions, but at least I finished everything. The second LR was hard but I was also so checked out by the time I got there.

    My proctor disappeared during one of my breaks for over 15 minutes after my first section and I was in tears by the time someone came back because I was just typing "hello???" into the void and thought I got disconnected and couldn't finish my exam.

    3/10 experience on this one. I am super bummed and feel like I did far worse than I should have.

  • kmcdo020kmcdo020 Member

    Is it possible to determine which section of the LSAT is experimental? For example if I have two LR sections and one is 25 questions and the other 26 questions is the one with 26 questions experimental?

  • I was trying to to get connected with a proctor and do everything and start my LSAT for 45 minutes! I was starting to think that my exam might get canceled or something bc of how long it took and the number of times I restarted my laptop. This literally happens to me every time I want to do the LSAT (this was my third attempt).

    Frustrated from this, my first section starts off with LG which naturally I do not think I did well in from how stressed I was just trying to get connected lol (but you never know sometimes you feel you did bad but you actually did good). I had an experimental RC section sadly and to make matters even worse, both of my RC sections were 27 questions :). LR was pretty standard for me nothing too hard.

    Now I'm not sure if what I just said constitutes as "talking about specifics," but if it does please let me know and I will take this down.

    This is SO relatable - close to exactly my experience. First section did not do well from technical issues and stress. Background noises incurred proctor to check and make sure I wasn't cheating, which took away from my time.

    I think that depends on what questions you get in October, which varies. I personally did pretty bad in October.

    Rooting for everyone! What I'm reminding myself: how you FEEL you performed, may not be an accurate reflection of how you ACTUALLY performed. Hope everyone is hanging in there.

    Also:

  • I performed really well during the whole exam. I was not stressed nor phased. After the 2nd second section, I knew that I had nailed the exam and was able to finish and did it with great confidence. I had no technical issues and had prepared for experience for year. I upgrated my web cam so it can focus really to capture my driver's license details very accurate and the camera is over $150. I upgraded keyboard and mouse to wireless. I upgraded Networking card to handle a higher bandwidth. I made certain my room for testing had to match the exact conditions that LSAC require and ProctureU required. I practiced every aspect including the equipment check and show id. I used exams as 76-92 as for the LSAT and 58-75 as experimentals. Once did 76-92 for the first four months and review them. I did 2 more passes with exams spaced out at least 4-5 months from the time I took the original practice exam and did it with 6 sections to manage the added stress. I put in an extra logic game and extra reading section. I drank green tea and 1 mug of coffee before the exam and 1 at the break to calm my hands. I did breathing exercises and mediation from my weekly Kung Fu class to help. Also, I watched Disney movies, Little House on the Prairie and the Minions to keep my mind clear of any negative influence. I didn't watch anything scary nor did watch intense dramas. Nor did I watch anything that would psyche me up. I did not want to tense up. I treated the experienal section just like regular task when you have in the real world and didn't work which section is experimental. Because it is futile worry about the experimental. Preparring with extra section is much better way to manage the stress rather than worry which section is experimental. I had my food brought in on Friday from Carraba's Italian Grill. I watch Minions 2 at 11:00 am sharp and at lunch at the same time. I called up Uber Eats to bring me 2 pumpkin spice lattes and were brought to me at 2 PM. I drank my first latte and listen classical music before the exam. Then, I did my breathing exercises and meditated and prayed at 3 pm. I knew the LSAT material really well and was able to remember every detail with great accuracy. I took my LSAT at exactly 4:40 PM CST. I drank my 2nd latte at the break and went to the bathroom. I got finished slight before 8:30 PM. After I felt a surge like I was fire and felt had won the whole thing. I had my Canolli cake from Carraba's to celebrate. I sat down ate and watch Little House on the Prairie. The next day I went to see Black Adam with the Rock at the movie theater. It is a great experience for me overall. I feel very confident and not worried about the result because I know my LSAT skills are very good that is what matters to get me to the schools I will apply to. I am not aiming for t-14. Just schools to be near friends and family.

    I took LSAT yesterday because of paper pencil form. It was my second exam (first January 2022) and it was 10 times harder than first one. I was reading discussion and it seems that Paper Pencil form has totally different questions. I did not have nothing about whales or pitch, and I did not have any game about dogs. I had LR-LG-LR-RC.
    If this is true then it is totally unfair. All test takers should have same questions!

    @"Preston Bigley" I had that question but I honestly couldn't tell you what the correct answer choice was. I feel like I either went with the second answer choice you mentioned or an answer choice that was about the conclusion still being justified since they adjusted for their original miscalculations? I kinda blacked out during the exam so I don't really remember what I picked lol
