Me too! I think December's -14 scale is the most lenient scale that LSAC has ever published. But remember, LSAC won't be disclosing the questions or the scale, so we'll never know!!!

I was thinking -11. The reading comp was a lot easier but the logic games were a bit harder than December's test. I'm starting to get paranoid that I misbubbled since I never double checked and didn't do the questions in order haha.

This was one of the easiest reading comp's in recent memory, but also one of the most unorthodox and challenging games sections I have seen in a while IMO. The LR seemed to be on on par/on the easy side. As a whole, I see this test on par with or slightly easier than December's. I agree with Ronnie's assessment that December's curve might have been lenient...it certainly did not feel like a -14 test. I would peg this one as a -12/-13.

I heard it was easy from multiple people, based on that -11 or so.

I found the LG quite difficult compared to my PT's as well. But that could have been caused by the additional pressure of my first sitting.

Does anyone think small incremental increases in difficulty on the LG section could result in increasingly larger numbers of wrong answers across the board in that section? Something akin to a "straw that broke the camel's back" situation.

And I'm just hoping I got lucky and -30 is a 159 to160 (did not feel good about my score). Apparently that has happened before in the last few years, but I'm sure you all would know better than me.

I'm the only person I know who found it easy. Everyone said LG was really hard (maybe I was still asleep when I did them... got all done with time to spare).

RC was interesting (which means easy in my books) and LR had a few curveballs but otherwise was rather pedestrian.

Could someone explain what is meant by a -X scale?

How many incorrect answers you could receive yet still maintain a mark of 170. On the December test it was 14
