Carlene Boulevard or GTFO

mk940808 · September 2016

@tofuspeedstar @ThePaperChase I said "go big or go home" too!! and i had big sean playing in my head while writing it

gookloki · September 2016

How about that writing prompt! What you think!? Also, Notice many NA and Paradox questions overboard... I figured maybe (8-NA) and about (5-Paradox) Anyone else??

smarchand · September 2016

@tofuspeedstar I said both "no risk no reward" and "no pain no gain" in mine. Pretty sure I was influenced by the bodybuilding RC there haha

dllaonehao · September 2016

I have like a blurr on the two decisions.. Trying to recall.. LSAT BLURR

twssmith · September 2016

@ThePaperChase Those questions stood out to me as well:(

tofuspeedstar · September 2016

I did have JY's voice in my head most of the test. When I'd cross out wrong answers I'd say something in my head along the lines of "what, this just makes no sense" or "so what who cares?"

Thankyou7 · September 2016

Hey anyone that did the virus game I got a question about it if you can please pm me

Isabella · September 2016

@gookloki , same! and so many MSS question types. I thought the distribution of question types on this exam was really bizarre.

@tofuspeedstar , me too! haha

dllaonehao · September 2016

@Isabella Yes.. noticed many MSS.. heavy on correlation/causation flaws.. u notice? hopefully it wasnt just me hahaha... I think there were a total of like 2 parellel and one main point. besides that. It was tough. flaw questions were also heavy

Cayenne43 · September 2016

How many questions were in the real LG? 22 or 23?

dllaonehao · September 2016

23
i believe

dllaonehao · September 2016

@Thankyou7 pmed u

Glad2livBy · September 2016

@lena.bruce I had an exp. Game so I really could not tell...

Cant Get Right · September 2016

The "misunderstood" question only just now came back to me. That was a really tough one!

westcoastbestcoast · September 2016

@"Cant Get Right" yeah. I had to a do a double take on that. I think i figured it out but took longer than i wouldve liked.

KevinSage · September 2016

I swear thats all I remember from the LR sections.. bizarre

Just remembered it too, it was tough. I remember reading it over like 3 times then finally seeing where they misunderstood.

Kateryna · September 2016

@KevinSage @"Cant Get Right" could you drop me a hint in pm on where was the misunderstanding?

KevinSage · September 2016

@Kateryna don't think we can do that /:

twssmith · September 2016

I went back to the "misunderstood" question 3 times - and changed my answer after trying a different look - really curious when the test is released if I finally got it...

Kateryna · September 2016

@twssmith do you know when the test be released?

twssmith · September 2016

@Kateryna Here is a link to a timetable:)

Kateryna · September 2016

@twssmith is the pt 79 itself be available before scores are released for those who took the test?

Sami · September 2016

I was wondering the same thing. When will PT 79 be released so I can take it?

dllaonehao · September 2016

I AM FRREAKING OUT TO THE MAX!!! WHAT IS EVERYONE TALKING ABOUT THIS MISUNDERSANDING WORD QUESTION..... DID I MISS IT COMPLETELY??? CAN ANYONE FRESHEN MY MEMORY>... PLEASE

twssmith · September 2016

I am not sure but I know that JY and other companies get a copy of the PT when scores are released:( I am pretty sure it is somewhere in the forums when June '16 was released - if I can find it - will post:)

twssmith · September 2016

@dllaonehao I know it is really hard post-test stress! (No need to do all caps:) We are trying to be very careful about discussing details of the test which is strictly forbidden by LSAC:(

Edited to add - maybe you got the question from the get-go so it wasn't even on your radar:)

Kateryna · September 2016

@dllaonehao there were two speakers which disagreed, kinda very familiar type of LR question, and the question was about misunderstanding about two speakers.
maybe as @twssmith pointed out you were ready for it, and did not even pay attention that much cause answer was easy for you

dllaonehao · September 2016

@Kateryna Thank YOU! also, @twssmith mentioned that their was a simm problem on PT 77. Would you know what question? Im on the hunt!

twssmith · September 2016

@dllaonehao Not a similar problem - a possible similar flaw issue.

dllaonehao · September 2016

Thank you!

CalPoliSci · September 2016

Does anyone have an idea when JY will be able to have a full explanation up for PT79? Do you think it'll be before the Dec. 3 test?

CalPoliSci · September 2016

@twssmith wow, according to that link, we can get our LSAT scores as soon as October 14 this year.

Kateryna · September 2016

@CalPoliSci 99% likely explanations will not be up till december

Cant Get Right · September 2016

Yeah, I don't even remember what the word was, so can't be of any help on that even if I could. I think I got it in the end but will definitely be keeping an eye out for it when tests come back.

And yeah, it's probably a good sign that you don't remember it @dllaonehao .

Hard to say about explanations up before December. 78 was up way before September, but obviously there's not nearly as much time on this one.

LSATTTTTTTT · September 2016

Can anyone confirm that Asia test takers get the same experimental sections? I had 3LR in Asia, and thought that one was much harder than the others, but I don't recognize any of the questions that you're posting from the sections.

That's hilarious because I included the phrase "Slow and steady wins the race"

LMAOOO

Daniel.Sieradzki · September 2016

@ThePaperChase Does that mean you also picked Hilltop? Please say I am not the only person who went with safety.

twssmith · September 2016

@ThePaperChase & @Daniel.Sieradzki Hilltop vs Carlisle?

Daniel.Sieradzki · September 2016

Hilltop. I argued that the company should work its way up to big projects and not risk it all at once. They should go with a medium project after Hilltop. It is neat that this WS has gotten so much attention. It actually feels like part of the test

twssmith · September 2016

Yes @Daniel.Sieradzki exactly they had all to lose with little to gain but if took Hilltop they could increase infrastructure for future larger projects and that was even dependent on being able to complete the project under budget and on time! Despite the goals and that it was hard to break the barrier into being respected for larger jobs, I said the exact same argument to work towards medium projects. I wish I had said that the other job was like a "Hail Mary" pass in football when they were not in a do-or-die situation:)

ThePaperChase · September 2016

@Daniel.Sieradzki said:

@twssmith Yes! Hilltop all the way. I talked about how they could use the saved money from Hilltop for investing in heavy equipment for larger and larger projects down the road w/o risking their hard-earned, good reputation.

ThePaperChase · September 2016

@twssmith said:

Damn it.. I can't believe they were all real. I have a really good feeling I got all of them wrong. Some normally "easy" type of questions were hard! (role, describe, discrepancy)

Kateryna · September 2016

omg my writing sample did not include the stuff that you guys are talking about. i had a construction company. thats so weird

Ron Swanson · September 2016

Anyone remember the # of questions per game in the LG? I remember the first had 5 and the last had 6; unsure of the middle 2.

Apologies in advance if this breaks rules for being too specific, feel free to remove or I'll edit myself.

ChrisN21 · September 2016

Hi all. Quick question - this may be rhetorical, but the proctor told me in a jokingly and nifty way might I add, that I will know which section is purely experimental based on how "easy" it is. Thoughts? Any validity here? I may still be recovering from Saturday so excuse me if I seem paranoid haha. I received three LR sections. Really thought I excelled in a specific section and am hoping it may have been non-experimental.

Please remove comment if deemed necessary. Lastly, #TeamHilltop

jennilynn89 · September 2016

@netniss21 I've only taken one test so far, but this seems to be true. I had an experimental LG and it was so EASY and I was so stupid to think that I was just that good and that it must've been the real section, when I got hit with the real thing and it was ridiculously hard.

melloish · September 2016

My exam order was LG,LR, RC (Break), LG, LR. My current issue is that one of the LG sections I felt okay in and the other was awful. I do not remember anything but the letters for each game and therefore do not know which one was the experimental section. Does anyone know how many forms there are for each test, a friend of mine had the same set up and she said the first LG was experimental. I was just wondering if that would also indicate my first LG was also experimental.

Howdy, Stranger!
