  What are the analytics based on? Is it LSAC info?

  All I can tell you is that they didn't consult with me for this opinion! Lol Hardest RC (for me) that I've tried. If that was "easier" I tremble to think of what will come going forward.

  Just curious, where can we see the ranking of the section as a whole? I have not taken the exam, but just ran the analytics and it looks like only the first passage is 2/5.

  I think we can see it on Trends section of LSAT Test Analytics.

  I think it's subjective and we should all stop putting any stock into it. I've done REALLY well on "hard" RC and REALLY poorly on "easy" RC. I've done up, down, left, right and everything inbetween on RC. I don't even bother with section difficulty, especially for RC. It's just a good way to psych yourself out.

  nah, i thought it was without a doubt the toughest section I've taken. I didn't look at the difficulty beforehand either, so it wasn't any sort of bias on my part or psyching myself out.

  I'm guessing there aren't many people that have taken that section, and I'm also guessing the ranking is based on average performance on the section as a whole. The people who have reported scores are likely people who have already taken the test, are retakers, or people at the end of their LSAT prep, which will skew the results.

  Does anyone know what the source is for these analytics? @"Dillon A. Wright"

  BTW, in Powerscore's postmortem on the June test, they claimed that the RC section was average.
