    Most weird exam for me ever. I am usually strong on the logical reasoning sections, especially strong at reading comprehension, and weak on logic games. This exam, I don't know what the deal was. I am not confident in my LR performance. In fact, I cannot remember a single question. I'm sure I crushed reading comprehension. But here is the weird part...I am more confident with my LG performance than LR. I thought the wxyz question was even easy.

    lemurs, dino nostrils, ballast water in ships were all real. I spent more time thinking of lemurs today than all other times of my life combined.

    F$&*ing thank you baby jesus; the first LR was brutal. any guesses on the curve? it was -14/170 in December 2013...

    If I were a bookie I'd set the line at -11.5 No way it's 10, And 13 would be in "toughest of all time" territory and I just don't think it was that bad. I thought the RC was really easy and the LR was pretty moderate overall. I'd be thrilled with -12.

    23 questions on LG? I think I made a bubbling error after skipping G3 to do G4 then going back. 24 bubbled lines staring me in the face at the end of the section :-/

    I would cancel if I were you. thats a lot of wrong answers.

    Wait...so those of us who had 3 LR, did we all have the same order? meaning section 1 was the experimental for all of us who had LR RC LR LR LG?
  • Dylan TaylorDylan Taylor Alum Member

    I believe so. That what I had and I think we have confirmed the first was experimental. Not that I can remember a single question.

    I had an LR experimental, and the first question in the first LR section was a dialogue about gas, giving ride, transfer of heat. Anyone know if that was a real section?

    I had LR RC LR LR LG, and my section 3 (second LR) tripped me up. :/ I felt like the first LR was easy, so of course that's probably the experimental.

    I swear me too! I can't remember a single q from the exp LR. I think they used one of those MIB memory wiping thingies on us.

    reachingsarah: i had the same and i was like wtf, this is the first question? i think i established that its the experimental.

    Thanks zotter14, and thank goodness. I had the same reaction given it was the first question, and thought my brain had just stopped functioning properly because of nerves.

    Hey guys. I think I had a two author/dual passage RC prompt about consciousness/mental awareness? The first passage was very monologue-esque (Hamlet - to be or not to be?) and informal. Was this one part of the real or experimental RC?
  • johnmelconjohnmelcon Free Trial Member
    21 karma
    @ajnainstein I had only one RC section and the comparative passage was not about consciousness, so that must have been experimental for you. I think the real comparative passage had to do with history and gender. Am I right in remembering it that way? It's kind of a blur.
  • legaldreamslegaldreams Free Trial Member

    @johnmelcon Ah, yes, I had the history and gender one -- modern times vs roman times? (not to be confused with African American women's suffrage -- which I also don't know the status of)
  • zotter14zotter14 Free Trial Member
    65 karma
    @legaldreams yea that was experimental for youl; real one had black theatre, women in history, lamarkism, and corporate fines.
  • legaldreamslegaldreams Free Trial Member
    4 karma
    @zotter14 Yeah, it was the one in deep thought about pain and nerves. Glad to hear that it was experimental, wasn't a fan.

    However, I'm sad to hear that African American Women's Suffrage wasn't real. I was feelin' that one.

    anyone else have a 25 question LR section that began with a q about an economist (if i'm remembering correctly)?
  • splitterhopefulsplitterhopeful Alum Member

    Kaila, the 25 question LR section was real.
  • kaila67hkaila67h Free Trial Member

    I had two 25 question LR sections
  • splitterhopefulsplitterhopeful Alum Member

    Hmm. Well, the 26 was real for sure.

    Anyone remember a LR question about "some guitarists" and "some bassoonists"-was an inference question .. All the Answer choices threw me off.
  • Artwork94Artwork94 Free Trial Member

    @Jessica3 that one was terrible :/
  • splitterhopefulsplitterhopeful Alum Member
    340 karma
    Guitars/banjos... yeah that one made me think more than most. I'm not sure if I got it right, I think I skipped it at first. Another time consuming gem was the rainforest/deciduous tree nightime nocturnal food searches. Also the seal vs. dolphin diving depth question was weird, it was a brief logic game more than any anything.

    in the winter deciduous trees have less leaves and birds can see better during the day ;)

    @Jessica3 Was that question from the 25 Q section? I had two 25 Q sections so I am just trying to figure out which one was experimental. I definitely had that question but can't remember if that was from the 25 or 26 Q section.

  • PacificoPacifico Alum Inactive ⭐

    There are four experimental sections: 2 LR, 1 RC, and 1 LG so they essentially make a whole fake test. Some had the fake 25 q LR while others had the fake 26 q LR...

    Also to whoever said that a -13 curve would be among the hardest ever you are clearly unaware of the many -14 exams there have been, including many Dec ones in the past several years.
  • benjamin.motbenjamin.mot Member

    @kaila67h I also had two 25 Q LRs. Any thoughts on which one is the experimental? I had LR-RC-LR-LR-LG and my first LR (25 Q) felt more difficult than my third section (2nd LR which was also 25 Q).
  • PacificoPacifico Alum Inactive ⭐
    8021 karma
    It's sounds like the first LR was experimental for both triple LR tests.
  • riveras.jonathanriveras.jonathan Member

    @"Dylan Taylor" Yeah I thought the first LR section was harder, second one with the dolphin and seals was a lot easier. Only had two LR sections though.

    @mss2fc I had two LGs as well. Don't really think it matters for me which one was the experimental because I ran out of time for both of the 3rd sets of games and had to make some quick guesses "/

    Could anyone inform me as to which RC was graded. What did each of the 4 passages talk about? Im trying to differentiate from the experimental section.

    Thanks

    @benjamin.mot it sounds like we may have had the same test form---mine was also a 25 q LR first and a 25 q third, 26 q LR was fourth. i'm still trying to figure out which one was experimental and hoping it was the first because i bombed it due to nerves. can't really remember which qs were in which section though i do think i remember two except questions being near the end of the first LR section
  • kaila67hkaila67h Free Trial Member
    52 karma
    do you remember any memorable qs that were in the first section? like shakespeare, honeybees, amber, etc?
  • splitterhopefulsplitterhopeful Alum Member

    Kaila, all of those real on a 25 q section
  • kaila67hkaila67h Free Trial Member
    52 karma
    yes--i'm trying to figure out if they were in my first LR section or my second because i don't remember which questions were where, i just know i didn't do well on the first section and want to figure out if it was experimental
  • benjamin.motbenjamin.mot Member
    14 karma
    @kaila67h I remember all of those questions but I can't recall if that was from the third section (second 25 Q LR) or the first section (also 25 Q LR). I have a feeling our third section (second 25 Q LR) is the experimental even though it seems like everyone is saying the contrary. Are you certain those were from your first section? You'll probably do better than expected.
  • kaila67hkaila67h Free Trial Member
    52 karma
    @benjamin.mot I think they might have been from the 3rd and last but i really don't know. why do you feel like the first was experimental?

    Did anyone take the test in London?? I hat two lg sections and did fairly well on the first one and not so hot on the second one! I can't figure out which one was the experimental!

    Wow I clearly remember that nocturnal deciduous forest one giving me some trouble and now I'm thinking I made a really stupid mistake because it seems so obvious now... sigh. Test day anxiety can really mess with your psyche even for routine questions and now I can't stop thinking about little things like that. Only three weeks to go...

    @patricia. If you had two LR sections both were real
