  Hey, so i took the dec 16 sabbath observer test, and i got an experimental game section that was straight out of hell, i assume ot was experimental bc i bombed it and i still got a good score.
  The other sections were pretty standard

  I haven't taken one, but generally speaking, it won't be any harder/easier than the disclosed tests are -- so no need to worry abut that.

  From what I understand, they often re-use other undisclosed tests, like February LSATs from previous years. for the Sabbath observer test.

  I hadn't realized the tests were any different; I just thought that your test wasn't disclosed .. hmmmmm good to know.

  I took the February non-disclosed test. They are not any different except that you never know how you did on each section or what questions you missed which can be a little frustrating.

  Edit: I'm not saying they are literally the same exact questions as the disclosed test, just that they are LSATs just like all the disclosed ones in difficulty and question type.

  That's the impression I got when I read about the test - not that it was different but that you don't get the results on each section.

  @tringo335 Everyone is saying the same thing. The Sabbath observer test is different (read: will have different questions) than the one that is administered on the preceding Saturday, but is not qualitatively different than that test. Indeed, the Sabbath observer test will most probably not be a virgin test, but one that was previously administered in other undisclosed test situations. The same goes for the Asian LSAT, and any other undisclosed test.

  I understand that. I'm saying I didn't know it was different at all from the disclosed tests.

  I know plenty of people who took a test for sabbath observers. It is a different test than those who take it on the Saturday before. No they are not notoriously harder just because they are non-disclosed for sabbath observers. They are the same as any other test that has been given and can or cannot be more difficult than the disclosed one given.
