    You can say. See other stickied thread for what is experimental and what is real.

    anyone get the sense that they recycled some of those LR questions? seemed oddly familiar . maybe its just a coincidence

    I had LR RC LR LG LR.

    My last LR had a question about red light and chlorophyll. My first LR had something about vampires and was the hardest for me. The second LR was the easiest for me (and I think had 26 questions?).

    I believe the last LR is real. Do we know whether the first or second LR is experimental?

    I had the exact same order and based on the two questions you described, the same order questions within the sections as well. I also felt like the first (vampire one) was the hardest. Fortunately, I believe that was the experimental one. Check on the other thread about which one's are real... I can't quite remember other questions from that first section. Look through that thread and help me out if you can and maybe we can find a way to confirm it was experimental.

    really hope your right .. struggled with time management on the first section

  • InArguendoInArguendo Free Trial Member

    Since LG is my worst performing section, OF COURSE my test had two of them.
    The first one felt experimental as I breezed through all four and skipped a rule substitution question, then after the break there was ANOTHER one and i missed an entire game.

  • InArguendoInArguendo Free Trial Member
    26 karma

    also feel like no ones mentioned a game with catering crews and a game with performers???

  • hephlopr17hephlopr17 Free Trial Member
    6 karma

    I had LR (26) RC LR (26) LG LR (25)

    My first LR (26) was the one with blow drying hands and occupying alien spaceships (and some other questions with subjects similar to PTs), so I'm guessing it was the experimental?

  • KateelaineKateelaine Alum Member
    172 karma

    I only had one LG section, and found it surprisingly easy. But now I'm paranoid I only thought they were easy because I missed some huge inference, and I really bombed the section. Overall, I have no idea how I did. Maybe I scored my highest, or maybe an all new low. I'm registered for the September, just in case. July 6th can't come soon enough.

  • jowens7317jowens7317 Alum Member

    Almost positive if you had LR RC LR LG LR that the first LR was experimental

    Was the catering crews one the last game? I had a similar sounding game and it was (thankfully) experimental.

    Someone with no experimental RC help me break these down please. I have the following listed as real:

    Wynton Marsalis/Jazz
    Dowsing
    Children
    Psychologists
    Inferences
    Appellate and Trial Courts

    RC should only have 4. Are these broken up or did I mis-categorize?

    Children, psychologists, inferences are the SAME reading passage. the other three you have correct and were on my SINGLE RC section, so... real.

  • Mitchell-1Mitchell-1 Member
    756 karma

    That reading section wrecked me. I averaged around -5/6 for the entire test over 40 ish practice tests. That inference passage probably took care that on its own. Of course that being my first section meant I was out of it the rest of the way. September here I come!

    I had LR RC LR LG LR. Trying to figure out where 1 or 3 was experimental LR (determined 5 was real). Here's all I remember:
    Section 1: parallel reasoning question about 52% of employees having been with the company for 2 years, but most in one group had been there over 5 years, therefore other group must be bigger
    Section 3: identify conclusion question about meetings being most productive when they're 30 minutes

    Thank you!!

    Three was real

  • kazrahkazrah Alum Member
    158 karma

    I had LR - RC - LR - LG - LR

    Still not sure which one the experimental LR was, as what's currently confirmed for the real LR was all only found in my last section.

    LG was surprisingly straightforward, games 1-3 made me realize that 4 would be the hard one. Hope that I did as well as I thought I did.

    RC also wasn't too bad, but I recall that for the comp. passages I narrowed down almost each question to two choices that were hard to pick from.

    Absolutely not. LG was REAL easy. Even my experimental questions were pretty standard (outside of the beer one just having a lot of iterations). For me it felt like they upped the ante on RC and balanced via games.

    I would switch places with you in a heartbeat. RC for me is entirely luck based depending on the passage. Some sections (meaning all four passages) I miss zero some sections I miss six. It really just depends on if a subject matter grabs me.

    I get you on that, usually I have to force myself into a mindset where I think that each passage is the most fascinating thing I've read all day. For this administration of the test I thought the RC wasn't too bad, each passage was pretty interesting to me.

    Yeah, this is where I think having a Philosophy background can help a bit. I've also forced myself into a game I play with the LSAC: Essentially they are trying to bore the fuck out of me with idk Middle Eastern Sand Art and I'm going to win by staying focused. Staying into and focused really can be half the battle.

    The new RC is definitely more beast though. I have the Cambridge Packets and earlier PTs and used to go -3/-4 when before I even began prepping. On the new ones, I might be lucky to go -5. Though I haven't really prepped much with the new stuff. Ahh well! I hope you guys did well today though! At least its over :)

    From easiest to hardest:
    --> Writing (lmao -- Team Anti-Toll Troll)
    --> First LR section (the one without the nuclear reactor / steam question)
    --> LG
    --> RC (I actually found the Jazz passage the hardest -- easy passage but hard questions)
    --> Second LR section (the one with the nuclear reactor / steam question -- RIP)

  • twssmithtwssmith Alum ⭐

    Recommended tip post writing the test - the order of the sections that you took do not necessarily parallel someone else's in regards to which section was experimental. My "apparent" LR experimental was my 1st section on the test but it was someone else's section later in the test - given 3 LRs.

    Hope this helps:)
