J/w when we find out which section was the experimental section... When we get our score?

For a disclosed test, you would know when you get your score. For a non-disclosed test - so, for the Feb. writing - LSAC won't let you know, because they don't release test materials. So, it's up to communities like this one to figure it out.

I wrote two RC's. This means if your experimental was LR or LG, then I can compare for you with what I wrote, and those that we have in common are real. Unfortunately, my memory is not so great, but I'll try my best.

If you wrote 2 Logic games the one with the pets was real because i only had 1 LG section and it had pets in it. Along with the pets game was one on lawyers & interviews, and commercials. There was one other game but I can't remember what it was about right now.

I wrote 2 LGs... My RC had a comparative, 2nd passage
Did your LG have a sequencing game where the person who was #1 was also #7, and #2 was #5?

Heya,

If you wrote the one with the two logic games, looks like the second one (3rd section, the easier one IMO) is the experimental one. They kinda figured it out in another forum through comparison.

Yes to the LG, I believe, though I could be mixing it up with the LG practice games I was doing in the morning. I remember that I had the apartment pet-owners game.

Did your RC have a science passage about dinosaur fossils? I can't recall where my comp reading passage was as i always skip around in RC.

I had two LG -
Real one was the first section I had: sequencing game with lawyer interviews, pet owners/non pet owner, commercials long/short.
RC - crop geneticists/ art subsidies (AB passage), fossil and sandstorm, and one more I can't remember.

Experimental LG was a lot easier than the real one, I was praying that'd be the one that counted.
RC was a lot easier than December.

LR - both had 25 questions.

Had 2 experimental RC back to back (break in between thankfully).

Experimental was easy, real one was almost as easy.

I had two LG... RC had crops, dinosaur fossils, art comparison and bankruptcy/creditors...
I'm glad experiemental LG was the second one, had to guess on some!
Otherwise the test as a whole seemed like an average one.

Are you able to see your scantron/answer sheet at least? I'd like to know how I did in each section.

Are you sure, muffins? This would be an undisclosed test. I can't recall if I saw my answers when after writing the Feb 2011 sitting.

You actually don't get to see anything on the February test, apart from your score and percentile rank... =/

I had two RC's, I was pissed! First, like a lot of people on top-law-schools I had trouble with the first part of the LG. LG is far and away my worst section. So lucky me, first time test taker, I start with LG and choke on the first game.

Now I'm nervous.

Then you throw in 2 RC's which for me are the most tiring and you have a terrible first time test experience. I was praying for a second LG section!

I'm having a hard time remembering which RC section had the fossil/bankruptcy passages. My lsat went LG-LR-RC-RC-LR. I found the first RC much easier than the second one, and I'm really hoping the 2nd one was the experimental one, but I think I am wrong.

The fossils and bankruptcy were in the non-experimental RC section, which was last for me.

i'm so happy to hear i'm not the only one who thought that the LG were tough-- i'm usually pretty good at LG, but i was freaking out because i just couldn't get a handle on some of the games. glad, i didn't get that section first-- had three LRs which were okay. kind of a crapshoot results-wise, hoping for the best!

I heard that they mix and matched the LG so that 2 from each was real and 2 were experimental... Any chance at this happening in RC?

I haven't heard anyone talk about the Rawles' utilitariarianism passage yet.

So the RC section that mentioned Utilitarianism (that's all I can remember) is likely the experimental one? Bummer. I think I got perfect on those passages.

I realize that February is undisclosed, but I very much doubt they mixed and matched. Not everyone has the same experimental section so I don't see how that could possible work.

Yes, the John Rawles one was experimental.

Did some reading over at the other forum (TLS). For people who had LR-LG-LR-LR-RC. The second LR (with 26 questions) was the experimental. Others with an RC or an LG experimental had two LR sections which were both 25 questions, meaning the two 25 LR sections had to be the real thing on the LR-LG-LR-LR-RC.
