I've never gone 0'fer on a LG in my life, including when I took the 2007 cold, but there's about a 50-50 chance for went 0 for 5 on that one. I'm so grateful it was the final part of my fifth section, or it could have really shaken my confidence. Still have a shot at my target, but that game likely single-handedly ended the otherwise decent chance of our performing my goal.
I would rate the LC's as average, but they always seem about the same to me.
LR seemed easy, but I have a theory that they were designed to be unusually humanities-heavy to offset the unusual mathematical basis of the final LG. Someone who was at ease with that LG may have been farther from their comfort zone than normal with the Reading passages, while someone like me (who did a Chevy Chase "I was under the impression there would be no math this morning?!?"), may be flummoxed by the final LG, but breeze through the passages.
2nd LR, which I hope to be experimental, had 26 questions and one in particular about a certain writer named Payne (and determining authorship). Anyone *not* have that one?
Also, first LR section had an early one about bed-mites.
Btw, I "wrote" in June, but cancelled going in, used it as practice. This was my 2nd time and PRAYING somehow it's my last.
@esteerose I wanted to include you in this b/c I had the same experience as you as well, which is also similar to @jennilynn89 above. You guys are NOT ALONE!
That virus game was a six piece sequencing with two open spots and four possible outcomes. The only thing that any different about is that the answers were separated with arrows rather than commas, and it followed three fairly standard games.
This one followed a Game 3 with an unusual, though not unprecedented design, presented a new game framework that required decent math fluency, then played the particularly nasty trick of reversing values, so that the lower the number assigned, the greater the number you had to use in translating worth. It would be equivalent to designing a game in which one had to constantly remember, "When I say 'Left', you turn right, but if I want you to go left, I'll say 'Right!'"
I'm glad for you that you were comfortable with the game, but there is no comparison in difficulty between this one and the virus. When people occasionally say that the LSAT test designers are sadistic, they are talking about things like this game.

Did anyone have the dust mites question? First question of the LR section?

Yes. I only had two LR too so it's real.
(sorry for the reddit-in-spanish version - gots to keep my castellano up somehow)
The RC seemed fairly straightforward. Seemed to get off in the middle of the second set of LRs but tried to come out of it.
Weird that the LG experimental used fairly standard, relatively easy games except for the one about the mines, which seemed a bit creaky in terms of its development. But that last real game seemed solidly put together and was a colossal disaster. At least it was at the very end of the exam, so we weren't dwelling on it in later sections.
100%. No comparison to virus game. This was much worse.
From the first LR i remember questions about: airplane lanes, otters and predators, i think bed mites.
Second LR (Sect 3)(I think this was experimental) Had a question about octopuses choosing a red colored ball, and another one about a machine that tickles and induces laughter when other people aren't watching?
Final LR: dry/canned cat food, an animal floating on debris from islands to Americas, a church organ being reconstructed, biology and french (inference question), a tomb in Macedonia.
RC was do-able. I remember an odd number of a certain AC in succession of each other towards the latter half. Not sure if anyone else encountered noted this.
LG - game 3 was a massive time vacuum but do-able. game 4 haha; lets just not. I pray that the guessing gods are in my favor.
-Touching Something Blue and Red
-What Year a Book was Written based on it Asking Where He Was
I do not recall either of these qs and I didnt not have an experimental LR.
Happy birthday. Thank you for all that you do for us
Ugh... overall I feel ok and feel that the test was fair. But the real RC was my first section and I wasn't as focused as I ought to have been
I had the same setup - I think section 3 was the experimental LR then?
I had the same setup! I definitely had the same section 1 and section 5 LR, but I'm pretty sure I had a different section 3. I think that was the experimental one.
yes organ and iguanas
I couldn't sleep well last night and kind of run out of time..shoot.
Was the brain scan passage easy as others too?
I had 3 LRs and one of them did have many disagree Qs.
Hated those questions...
not sure which LR is experiment&hoped the one with those disagree Q was the experiment but sounds like it's not.
I had LR-RC-LR-LG-LR.
Found the first two LR's (s1/s3) okay, but after the LG section, I lost my cool for s5 LR.
