Like when it asked how Hines emerald Dragonflies are able to survive among dangerous predators you were like ''yeah! I learned this in trivia night at the bar''

Rc Civil vs uncivil law Comparative water companies private

Lr1 DNA fruits Earth rotates based on sun Street parking shortage

LR2 Recall for car humidity Stretch before running Salmon pesticides

Lr3 Draining wetland Unemployment rate mayor election “I am in pain” doesn’t really mean they are in pain

anyone know which is experimental

Hi, international here. I had a LR dummy and I am trying to figure out whether that section was exp.

I only remember one of the questions from this section which is the importance of rewarding volunteers. One group had cruise/other amusement park as their reward.

I had this as my first LR section and this LR section had some impossilbe parallel reasonings that really freaked me out.

The rest of the two Lr sections were too good to be true..

+also, someone from other post reminded me that question 8 of this section had questions about employees changing laptop (parallel)

Hi,

On testday I completed all the prometric checks and the proctor put up the lawhub site for me so that I could log on to it. Unfortunately once I ented my credentials and hit enter the page kept loading and showing me the "preparing docket" loading page.

I ended up being unable to take my test bc the proctor told me to get off and get help; after I got help from their people I couldn't even log back on to the proctorapp probably bc by that time too much time had elapsed from my original exam time.

Has anyone every faced the same issue. I'm worried that I'll face the same problem on my retest and I want to figure out a way to avoid it.

Thank you very much.

Plan on taking November and have noticed I’ve been really stressed and anxious, to the point where I’m crying before PTs out of fear for the result. I know this is kind of a basic questjon but howare people taking care of their mental health while studying for this test? I feel like I’m genuinely so attached to a score and it’s ruining my ability to focus because I’m just so anxious about failing. I know I can do it but I’m just struggling so hard. Any tips?

So for those of us that have to retest cause of proctor issues, we will have a variation of what was tested on from October, or is there completely different content and sections specifically for the retest?

So iv been studying since may and had tried almost everything. Finished the bible and i did increase my point from 133 to 146. But now im slumping.

What would the ideal weakly schedule be if I want to write the November or January test.

This is my changed schedule rn

I am going through each lr question type everyday by each level. I will also do a drill everyday trying get at least 20 right in lr I will do one rc passage a day and some days I do timed I do one full timed pt a week I will try to review my wrong answer journal twice a week

This is my October schedule and I am trying to get my score into 150 but I feel like iv been slumping lately and not confident

This is niche, but if anyone else was taking the test in manhattan today SCREW THAT PARADE MAN!! totally threw me off and was so loud

I just took a practice exam and I got a 159 😓 I want to improve my score before I take it in November. I’ve been studying since July, and have been studying religiously since August. I’m not sure what I can do now to improve my score because it seems nothing helps.

I felt okay coming out of the test center, but now that I've had more time to recall the questions I saw on the test I feel a lot less certain about how I did. Anyone else feel this way?

I had just finished my test and hit submit but I had no scratch paper to show and the recording would show that. am I screwed?

Can't force myself to stay awake until the topic thread has figured out what's real vs experimental, so this is my manifestation post of that one horrible LR section (honestly can't even remember what was on it but MAN) being experimental for us all - if not, at least i can delude myself that it might be exp until tomorrow!

Can someone confirm if this was real or experimental plz????

Hey yall wanted to ask if anyone has gotten responses or updates about requests for retakes? I had the proctor disappearance issue and continued my test with no break. There's a lot of scattered information so hoping to consolidate and hear from people who had the similar wait times and proctor disappearance.

Anyone have any stories of a score jump a few weeks out from writing their LSAT? Just looking for a little motivation/it’s gonna be okay for my nerves leading up to November :)

Um….so i finished my exam several hours ago with no issues, but I just noticed that the blue submit button was still on the lawhub website. So like the page where it gives 1. Remote close out instructions and 2. Test center close out instructions.

I just clicked on it right now and it just said “your test has been” or similar and it takes me back to the blue button when i sign out and sign back in 😵‍💫

Is this gonna be an issue?

Hello and congratulations to everyone who made it through October lsat!! Wooooo!

I took it on Tuesday and I’ve been feeling nervous ever since and here’s why:

First half of my test was fine, but after my break ended and I began the second half, someone entered the testing room and let’s just say they definitely should have been assigned accommodations.

The dude was talking OUT loud to himself the entire time, and hitting the desk and like tearing up his papers and at times even spoke at a volume that was almost yelling. I turned around a lot. I definitely am sensitive to distractions and tried not to but i couldn’t help it, it was driving me insane.

After i left the building and the test was over, i ran into two other test takers. Although we obviously didn’t discuss the test itself, we all agreed that it should have been a common courtesy call for this person to either take it remotely or in a separate room (the testing center has those too).

Now I’m worried that lsac will cancel my score for looking suspicious (what if one of the proctors saw me turning around a lot and thought i cheated?) i don’t know if they confront you or not if they suspect you’re up to something - no one said anything to me when i left - but now I’m so worried :(

Wow what an experience? I think it was hot and cold. On the easier end of LR. The proproctor guy who did the initial check in was so relaxed and well mannered it kind of made me relaxed too. I kind of took too much time in some questions and I am slower in answering generally so that made me leave a lot of questions at the end and also just mark some of them without even reading. But honestly it wasn’t bad? It wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. I was actually smiling when it ended. I did feel like my brain was stretching itself to the finish line but I am so happy that I was able to get through the exam for which I dreaded so much! Wow I am going to retake my November LSAT I think speed is the thing I have to focus on now. No matter how much you prepare some things are beyond us so hopefully in November I should be able to attempt all questions and get better results. BUT WOAH WHAT AN EXPERIENCE 🙈

Someone pls pls tell me that the tipping, deserts, and appetizers question was on experimental LR

I can’t tell which one was the experimental but I swear the last LR section was hands down the most difficult. Is it just me? Did it feel like the second and third LR sections were pretty normal except for the last one?

Hey guys I just came back from the LSAC forum in Downtown Los Angeles. No idea why every admissions person from most schools told me my stats aren’t that bad and that I should full send and take the LSAT next month (been debating on not and just taking a gap year). Essentially all the admissions said just apply and hope for the best and if not you’re more likely to get admitted next cycle. Wow.

Great job to all the Saturday test takers!!! I am on my way to a concert to celebrate finishing this crazy exam and months and months of studying. Trying not to go over those crazy LR sections in my head. I felt like the second one kicked my ass. I hope everyone is decompressing tonight!

The October LSAT administration is now done. The goal is to keep topic discussion to this thread, and identify a list of real topics. Here's how it works:

1. If you had a single section of RC, or two sections of LR, then posting topics from that will establish that those topics were from a real section
2. If you had two sections of RC, or three sections of LR, DO NOT POST (on that topic). Posting topics is worse than useless - it pollutes information. The reason is that you don't know which was experimental and which was real.

You do not need section orders, these are now randomized so your order doesn't mean anything.

TL;DR If you had a single RC, or two LR's, please post topics from those single sections. Don't post your section topics for a section type where you had an experimental.

Stuff that still isn't allowed

• Posting about the content of sections: specific questions and answers etc
• Posting about topics or content in an experimental section

This thread will be updated with confirmed topics as we go.

Note: Have seen some people flagrantly discussing real answers or asking to dm about it. This still isn't allowed, and won't be, and we've handed out bans where people do it willfully.

Everything below is scored: Where I write "other section" I mean it was a different scored section. Everything below is from people who had a single section in that topic, so they have confirmed real sections.

this was the most difficult run i've ever had so far and i'm very confused by it
