I have three LRs, 25, 25 and 26 so pretty sure of one the 25 is experimental. However saw many people saying their three LRs are 26,26, 25 so one of the 26 is experimental. Is it possible there are different experimental section for LR despite we all have three LRs or I am in deep trouble with my memorization?
SAME! LG especially last one with the 8 floors was more time consuming to set up than I expected so I had to guess quite a few
the worst news i've heard all day is that the LG with cleaning eight floors was real.
real
@MaxiePooh
I also had 2 LR sections with 25 questions and 1 with 26. Glad I am not alone. I felt like the 2nd 25 section one was more difficult than the first. Also my order was LR, RC, LR, LR, LG
I know, I feel like I was pretty beat at that point and that was probably the worst combination of games for me
I felt like LR was tougher than average (seriously, what was up with the fish with fingers and Greek play?? ugh) but not unreasonable. I'm bummed about LG because it seemed pretty straight forward to me but I didn't finish in time. It's a little nice to hear that others felt like it was really hard. I didn't have any trouble diagramming things, it just was a lot to keep track of, especially on the cleaning building floors one. Sounds like I'm in good company.
RC is my worst section usually, but this one seemed not too hard. I had 2 RCs and not sure how I feel about finding out which one was real. I felt like I did pretty solidly in it, but I ran out of time and was a dummy and didn't even fill in the last 2 Qs. Ugh! How did I not get guesses in? Dangit. But I felt like I probably got more right than usual. But sadly, more wrong than usual on LG and possible LR.
Overall, I feel like it's probably going to be pretty consistent with where I've been PTing. And now, we wait....
What's been the general consensus on the curve/overall difficulty? It seems like to me, and i hate to say this, but overall it was a fair exam without any clear curveballs, except I hated the last game- couldnt get it to work but it seemed like a normal game or any other day. RC did not seem to be that bad. LR seemed to have quite a number of obscure questions, including the question on movie reviews
I am not sure which one was real. I am trying to remember what questions came from what sections but am having a hard time remembering
Same, actually let out a frustrated scream in the parking garage. Killed my experimental section.
Had 3 LR 1 LG 1 RC
I had a question about Trexs in America and how no other prehistoric animal was larger or something like that
I feel the same. I have 25 25 26 as well and the 1st 25 was harder than the second 25...
Which one is even experimental...
I had RC real, LR25 (Mayors), LG, RC experimental, and LR26.
I usually do -0/1 LR each, -0 LG, and -4 RC, but I am sure I reversed LG with RC on this test. The subway game really slowed me down, so I didn't have enough time to finish the apartments game. I was really sad when I opened section 4 and saw RC. I was hoping the apartments game was experimental.
All in all, I felt like I underperformed because of not knocking LG out. But I think the easy RC compensates for harder LG making the curve come out to a normal -10 or -11 for 170. Anyone feel similarly about the likelihood of curve getting evened out by easier RC?
Yeah, same. Feel like the curve will be middle of the road. Easier RC, harder LG and medium-hard LR.
@wuxinyi9512 I had that and only had one LG
Was the LR question about hunters in pre-homo sapiens Europe real or experimental?
I am so, so glad that the leaker game was experimental. I had never seen one like that before, I no idea what to do, ended up panicking and trying to brute force it with less than 5 minutes left, which meant I had to guess for the last three. I was really panicking about it post-test. The real LG section I found really easy, finished with time to check my answers.
I'm in the same boat. The LG was hard. I think I forgot they could design a really hard LG section without adding a fancy, unorthodox game.
I think it'll be -12.
My sections were LR (25), RC, LR (25), LR (26) and LG. Trying to figure out my experimental LR, did anyone have the question like if it rains in H Valley then it usually snows in N valley, if it snows there it rains somewhere else
I’ve seen what’s listed as the real RC section but could anyone refresh my memory on some of the experimental RC passages you had? I’m drawing blanks right now but I’m almost positive I liked the experimental RC better I actually finished that one
LR-25, RC, LR-26, LR-26, LG.
I remember the Greek one, definately circled and kept on grooving ahead. Good Luck everyone
Experimental, I didn't have it.
I did not have anything like that.
I had 2 RC as well... RC, LR, LG, RC, LR
If the Real RC was the Chinese-Am language, Multiverse, Chef, ???. but I can recall reading about Mayans stuff, Ballet dancer, and arbritration... I thought the Mayan, ballet passages was pretty straight forward... but who knows... my brain is mushed right now... Can anyone else remember the experimental section passages? or had the same sequence as mine? I know I messed up the first RC section.
Hmm. Well that complicates things. The order of mine was LR (25) RC LR (25) LR (26) LG. I was under the impression that the first LR section was the experimental one, but if the "hunters in pre-homo sapiens Europe" question was experimental then it appears that the second LR section was the experimental one instead. That's upsetting if that's true, I found the first LR section quite a bit harder than the other two.
I took > @eagles111 said:
I took in June and september and monitored the forum zealously after each. I felt the difficulties of June and sept. were comparable, and today was slightly tougher. But the public reaction seems to be that todays was a little tougher. I'd guess a -12 curve
I’m not sure it was experimental. I ~vaguely~ remember it, and I had experimental LG. Was it something about neanderthals not needing to use language to construct tools?
It was about a spear found from 400000 years ago in Europe that supports the idea that pre-homo Sapiens inhabitants were hunters rather than just gatherers
Same - i took both june and septembre. Is slightly tougher , tougher or less tough than little tougher from the public reactions? I feel like today's game was tougher (I think people now assume games are easy if there are no curve balls after 77,79 and 80). RC seemed easier than June+September. LR I am a bad guesser in that...
ahh, yeah, that’s experimental
I also had 3 LR and there's some questions people with 3 LR are asking about that I don't remember seeing at all (unless they were all the last one or two of the sections which I didn't get to), it seems like there could maybe be 2 different LR experimentals? Is that possible?
There are multiple experimental sections.
Mine was ridiculous. Almost 50% MOR questions. It was so obvious that it was an experimental, but I still gave it my best.
Removed
so disappointed to hear that what I thought was the real RC was the experimental haha ughhhhh
I had LR,RC,LR,LR,LG. I forgot the amount of questions per section but I felt like the 1st and 2nd LR were very easy and the 3rd tough. I've seen people say 1st section was difficult and its making me anxious now
Tablet was real
Could someone kindly try to figure out which section was experimental for those of us with the order: LR (25), RC, LR (25), LR (26), LG ??
I think that quite a few people are trying to figure this out. I also think that it's agreed upon that the third section (the 26 question one) was real.
Unfortunately I cannot remember any of the questions from the first two LR sections (the 25 question ones) except for one about horses, spears, and pre-homo Sapiens inhabitants in the second section.
That section was real, and I HATED that question!
Experimental RC was-
Comparative gold mining
Naturalist protest fiction (ugh)
Ice cores
And a passage about wonky tax plans
I HATED that experimental section was so happy to see it didn’t count that protest piece was vicious.
Had same exact one. So disappointed to hear that the Chinese Am one was real. I felt so good about the Mayan and ballet passages! The AB passage was about arbitration and the fourth some science passage with a lady's name that started with an N or something. My experimental RC was the fourth section.
I had the same structure as well! Although the first RC section was somewhat easy I was a little tripped up. I thought it was the experimental, but now I'm unsure because that had the Chinese Dialect, Multiverse... which is apparently real. My second RC had the ballet dancer, arbitration, social theorist and Mayan stuff. It seems like we had the experimental and "real" mixed together which is really weird .
Maybe I’m crazy but I felt like that was the easiest LG section I’ve ever done. I was kinda incredulous halfway through.
Is that actually possible for the two to be mixed together?
I still can't figure out which one of my 3 LR sections was experimental. The only question I remember the section of was about Species X and was near the end of my second LR section (section 3) with 26 questions. I think the order was LR-RC-LR-LR-LG. From what I'm seeing it seems there were 2 versions of experimental LR sections/ordering, one of them with 25 questions and one of them with 26 questions and coming second (like mine). Does it seem like this question was then in the experimental?
I am confused what you mean by the two being mixed together? Just wondering because I had these exact same ones and my "experimental" was section four. I thought experimentals were typically Sections 1-3?
I think we had it mixed up because the experimental seemed less difficult than the real RC. I do not know what happened there. I really thought the first section was hard, yet everyone is saying it was straightforward
sorry to be so late to the discussion;
I had RC, LG, LR, LG, LR.
I thought my first LG was the experimental one; it was extremely rough! The second LG was actual. It related to herbs {or maybe vegetables that I’ve seen people say}, cleaning floors, committees and opposing.
Someone else who did NOT have experimental had: train station shut downs, floor cleaning, and musicals auditions.
What’s “MOR”??
