I usually scored in the 165-170 range while practicing. I thought that Section 2 was the experimental section, that the RC section was more diffult than previous exams, and that the logic games were really easy.
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone agree?
I agree that the games were easy. I had two RCs in a row (sections 1 and 2)...thought section 2 was more difficult. Hoping that section 2 was the experimental, however the numbers add up to 100 (versus the usual 101) if section 2 was the experimental.
ReplyDeleteOur practice scores are identical. Any idea on how to confirm what section was experimental?
The way you tell if a section was experimental was if one person had it in their test and another person did not. Say, John had 2 Games sections and Joe had only 1. John's first game section had a game about cars, and Joe had no game about cars. John's first section was experimental.
ReplyDeleteI've been scoring in the mid-160s. I agree that the reading comp was a bit harder than usual. Section 2 was definitely the experimental...some fellow masochists and I hashed it out after the test.
ReplyDeleteGames were easier, until that last one. Took alot of work to set up and I didn't visualize it well. Does anyone remember if "E" was the answer to any of the questions in the last game? I was so methodical with the first three that I didn't get to do much for the last one. I'm considering cancelling on the basis of that alone, so if anyone is sure that any of the answers to that game were "E," please let me know! It would be huge to find out and help me relax a bit.
The experimental section has historically been one of the first three, so if you had a RC in the first three and one in the last two, you will know that the first section was the experimental one. That said, even if you have a good feeling a section is experimental, it is never a good idea to let your guard down on it. You could be wrong.

ReplyDeleteOnly sure way is the way I outlined above. Experimental might be one of the first three, but that is not a sure thing.
ReplyDeleteDo you by chance remember what the last game was about? Maybe then I can remember if there were any E's.
ReplyDeleteMy version of the LSAT had two analytical games. So I know one was the experimental. I can vaguely remember one of the games from the second analytical section.
ReplyDeleteIt concerned 6 deli workers (Janice, Nan, Ophelia, Kevin, Seymour, Paul) who worked Monday to Friday. Each shift had exactly two workers and must have at least one supervisor (Janice, Nan, Paul).
For those who didn't have two analytical games section, did you see this question? If so you now this is not the experimental section.
I had two games sections. The one you're referring to is the last game of the Section 4 test. It's all coming back to me now.
ReplyDeleteI don't remember if there were a lot of E's - I'm sure there was at least one. I think there were 2 questions in a row about Kevin, Paul, and Seymour. You had to keep in mind that Kevin worked on days when it was someone else' first day, and that Seymout couldn't work before Paul's first day.
Games (I only had one game section, which featured 22 questions): Deli, Circuit board, Record Stores...can't remember the last.
ReplyDeleteFrom everything I've read, it looks like section 2 was the experimental.
I think Nan had to work consecutive days too.
ReplyDeleteStill waiting to see if this question and section was on the other versions (read not an experimental section).
I could kiss you :D
ReplyDeleteMost of the time the LSAT consists of 101 questions but there have been several that consisted of a 100 questions.
ReplyDeleteIn the last ten years, the experimental section has never been section 4 or 5. According PowerScore, statistically, over the past ten years, the experimental has appeared as:
S1 - 14.63%,
S2 - 31.71%,
S3 - 53.66%.
I have a strong suspicion that in my case it was S3, Logical Reasoning, because otherwise the total number of questions adds up 99. Has there ever been an LSAT that consisted of less than a 100 questions?
As for reading comprehension. I only had one section. It had topics on: Chinese Realist paintings since the cultural revolution, evolutionary survival of virulent diseases, African American Ministers and there leadership of a civil rights demonstration in union hiring practices, and one more...
ReplyDeleteThat was the real section not the experimental.
Yes, check some of the superprep tests. I found a few 99's and even 98's.
ReplyDeleteAs far eas I remember, the question count was as follows:
ReplyDeleteRC: 26 or 27
Both LR: 26 each
Section 2 games: 24
Section 4 games: 22
I think section 2 was experimental, not onley because it was extremely tedious, but because it would push the total count to 102, and that's only happened once.
I have taken 20 LSATs in the last 2 months, and I have seen totals from 99-101 only.
I'm the guy asking about the last game and if any answers were E. Yes, that game was about deli workers Janice, Nan, Ophelia, Kevin, Seymour, and Paul.
ReplyDeleteMuch thanks to whomever wrote back that there was at least one E. Any further confirmation of that would be appreciated. And for those with 2 games sections, that was the one that counted, because I had two reading comp.
For those who had 3 LR sections, does anyone know which was the experimental? As far as I recall, there were two with 26 Qs each and one with 25. I think it was the one with 25 Qs, I don't remember whether it was S2 or S3.
ReplyDeletethe reading comprehesion about downstate medical, chinese art, etc was definitely the scored RC because i only had one. as someone who had traditionally done very well on games, i panicked when i got to the circuit breaker game. was that an example of an in-out grouping game? here's the basic premise -- you had seven light switches which are on or off & the circuit load is the number of on switches: if 1 is on then 3 and 5 are off; if 4 is on then 2 and 5 are off; the circuit load corresponds to the number whose lightswitch it represents (something that would suggest if 4 switches are on, switch number 4 is on). any thoughts on how you would set this up or does it involve just taking it question by question?
ReplyDeleteThe game about light switches being on or off looked confusing at first but i found it relatively easy to work out once you understood the important premise that if there were 3 lights on, light #3 had to be on, if there are 5 lights on, light #5 had to be on,etc....
ReplyDeleteI too thought the LR was pretty tough, and had 3 of them. My second and third sections, one of which was the mystery, were very tough. I originally thought my third section was the mystery because it seemed there were like 12-14 assumption questions. Maybe the second section was the mystery though. Either way, having two tough LR back to back really fatigued me and I think affected my score. I wouldve much rather had two AR sections or two RC.
I had 3 LR too, and I found the first two tougher than the last. I was really hoping section one was experimental :( but it seems it was S2. hmph. Also, as a person who is very weak at games, I found these ones relatively easy, so that really made me happy. The light switch one wasn't so bad, you just have to remember that the circuit load number had to have that number 'on'. The last one about the deli wasn't too bad either. Although i realized after time was called that I had the wrong answer for the last question.. BLAST! that is going to kill me forever. Oh, and I think there was some E's, just not the stupid last question, because E was two people without a superior... damnit
ReplyDeleteRC was the hardest hands down. I don't even know what to say about that section!
Section 2 was the experimental section. It is difficult to know what the curve will be like on this test. The trend over the past 5 years has been more difficult reading comp sections and slightly more manageable games. Does anyone remember the logical reasoning question about violent crime rate dropping in a particular city after legislation was passed to stiffen penalties? The argument stated that there was a causal connection between the two since no other policy change had been made that year. The question stem asked for a weakening statement. Was the answer "E", a change made two years earlier requiring an increase in police on the streets in each of the next 3 years?
ReplyDeleteMy LSAT prep instructor said that whenever there's an experimental section, it's the same across the board in terms of which section it was for everyone who took it. So from the looks of it it's Section #2.
ReplyDeleteQuestions for anyone who might remember them -
Deli game - for the guy looking for if there was an (E) answer in the Janice, Nan, Ophelia, Kevin, Seymour, Paul story - was it was the one where if Kevin had to work on Thursday, who had to work on Friday? I picked (E) Paul but couldn't eliminate (A) Janice, so I wasn't sure.
Reading Comprehension, since I also found it more difficult usual -
Black ministers passage - would the author be most proud of...I guessed 'positive response from public'
And also, the question where, what would the author agree or what could you infer, i don't remember: (a) the group was satisfied by both government response but not union responses, etc., something like that. I picked the answer where it was like, satisfied with neither...(C)?
Pathogens - "main point" question, I picked 'C' - that said that some pathogens do reproduce quickly and take over their hosts' body, but I was debating between that and 'E' - the one that said pathogens which reproduce quickly either can quickly spread to other hosts or can stay alive for a while outside of them?
I remember a few other ones but I don't want to seem obsessive. Even though I clearly am.
"Does anyone remember the logical reasoning question about violent crime rate dropping in a particular city after legislation was passed to stiffen penalties?

Was the answer "E", a change made two years earlier requiring an increase in police on the streets in each of the next 3 years?"
ReplyDeleteThat was difficult so I'm not entirely sure, but I think I guessed (B), or whatever answer it was that said that judges had been enforcing much stricter policies a few years earlier or something.

ReplyDelete"That was difficult so I'm not entirely sure, but I think I guessed (B), or whatever answer it was that said that judges had been enforcing much stricter policies a few years earlier or something."
I originally selected B as well, but on second glance I think it was incorrect because it said the judges had been handing out a greater number of stricter penalties for "some type of crimes"--too vague. Not specifically violent crime. Plus, answer (E) speaks to the issue of "no policy change" in the last years, but suggests an earlier change had persisting effects that could have provided an alternative cause for the drop in violent crime. In case you were interested in my reasoning...(I think it makes me feel better to write it out:)
Waiting for the score is brutal! Why does it take so long??
ReplyDeleteAre there any other blogs for the october last?
ReplyDeleteI remember that LR question about police, and had the same delimas. I really cant remember what I put?
ReplyDeletethat RC about the ministers, i remember the question asking how they felt they acheived their goals?? something like that. i think i put they acheived neither goals. i think thats one of the ones you were talking about.
anyways, i am totally wondering how the curve will be for this lsat!
did anyone else find some of the LR's toughies and time consuming if you let them be? maybe it was just me. all i know is that RC sucked.
oh, just wondering, in general, how much did most people write for written section?? i'm sorta nervous because i was taught to keep it precise and simple. i saw everyones being collected and noticed most people wrote a helluva lot more than me! not that it REALLY matters so much.
This isn't very specific, but I remember a question on the RC section that asked about the author's opinion to something and the answer choices were: A) Extremely High B)High C)Medium D)Low and E)Negligible. Does anyone remember this question and what did you answer? I answered E)Negligible.
ReplyDeletethat was not on the real RC section. you must have had two RCs, one in the 2nd section and one in the 3rd. The 3rd was the real one.
ReplyDeletedid anyone else think that the RC totally sucked...
ReplyDeleteYEAH THE RC SUCKED!
ReplyDeleteWhich RC questions did you think were toughest?
ReplyDeletei thought passage about diseases was ridiculous, but i had trouble with questions on every passage...i sort of started freaking out midway through the section and ended up having to guess on a few bc i didn't have enough time. does anyone remember what the law-related passage was about? i remember ministers, diseases, painting...what was the 4th one?
ReplyDeleteAny guesses on the curve? I am thinking that we'll see 9 or 10 points off correspond to a 170. I thought the logic games were easy, the RC was difficult but manageable, and the LR sections were a bitch on timing. I could not finish and had difficulty with a number of the questions. I was used to one section with 26 questions and one with only 24. Two with 26 was a shock.
ReplyDeleteFor those who have taken and looked at dozens of other tests and corresponding curves, what is your guesstimate on this one?
The law passage contrasted the benefits of mediation and arbitration for divorced couples, concluding that mediation was a better alternative notwithstanding clear advantages of arbitration.
ReplyDeletecan anyone remind me what the passages were about on the RC section that it's assumed was the experimental?
ReplyDelete-i also thought that the games were sorta easy
For the person with the question on the curves:
ReplyDeleteI have taken about 20 LSATs in the last 2 months and usually score btwn 165-170. Given that the RC was harder than usual, and I'm seeing alot of people complain about not being able to finish the LR sections on time, and that there were 101 question on the test, I guess the curve to be as follows: (I only calculated it for scores that I thought applied to me)
162: 77
163: 78-79
164:80-81
165: 82
166: 83-84
167: 85
168: 86-87
169:88
170: 89-90
if section 2 was the experimental one, then there were 100 questions on the test (please let section 2 be the experimental one)
ReplyDeletesection 2 is the experimental one, and there are 100 questions on the test. Thanks for the response on the curve.
ReplyDeleteI am wondering what others think of that curve. I know it is difficult, if not impossible, to project--especially because it is not determined by the performance of test-takers on the actual exam we took yesterday but by the performance of those who answered those 100 questions when they appeared in past experimental sections. This means that the perceptions of those who took the exam, while potentially representative, have no direct significance in determining the scale.
ReplyDeleteI will say that the curve proposed seems a bit steep to me. If the RC was indeed significantly more difficult than average, I would think 10-12 wrong might still put one around the 170 bubble. but maybe that is wishful thinking.
Getting 10-12 wrong and still scoring a 170 is possible. I averaged 10 or so tests to see how many points it took to get certain scores, and I came up with an average of 88 correct to get a 170, which would allow you the 12 wrong, but it also included tests with only 99 questions.
ReplyDeleteThe reason why I guessed the curve to be steeper/harder is because I have taken so many LSATs, I just feel like I know them pretty well, and I think the LRs and the games were easier, or at least only of average difficulty. The RC was difficult for me - there were like 4 questions that I had a hard time choosing between two contenders.
Again, I could be completely wrong on the curve. I hope you get your 170 (and me, too!)
The curve proposed by the person who laid out the entire thing a moment ago did indicate that 170 was 11-12 off (it would be 88-89 instead of 89-90 on a 100 point scale). So curves are predetermined by past test-takers? I thought the purpose of the experimental was to provide LSAC evidence of whether a section should be on the test or not. Surely these experimental sections aren't final (my logic games section certainly didn't seem to be). If they are not final, a curve cannot be drawn up based upon them.
ReplyDeleteHowever, if what you say is true, then assuming a representative cross section of the october 2005 test takers is similar to a representative cross section of experimental test takers, then such projections would be somewhat valid.
All this being said, I'm just interested because I want to get a range of scores (legitimate or not) in my head and then forget about it until October 24.
I was the one that came up with the range.
ReplyDeleteThe concept that experimental sections are used in any way for the curve is news to me.
From what I understand, the scores are averaged/put up against the last three years of test takers. The make a bell curve with 150 being average, and 163 being the 90th percentile (roughly). It's a lot of statistics, but what I came up with was extremely rough - just a guideline. I don't think I would be off more than a point or two at the most.
I thought timing on both the RC and LR sections was harder than usual. I was 20 minutes in when I had finished the second RC section. I'm sure this will bump the curve down. Will the ease of the LG section counteract this?
ReplyDeleteHopefully. On my chart, the LOWEST score to get a 170 is an 85, so that test must have been a doozy. I don't think this test was THAT bad.
ReplyDeleteGranted, the RC was more difficult than usual, but I think the easy games balance it, which is why I think the curve will be pretty standard.
I think the deli game had a last answer of 'E'. Agreed that RC was brutal. I was hoping it was experimental.
ReplyDeleteI finished games early and doubled checked the answers. The arguments 1st section and experimental weren't bad. The 2nd args were hard.
I started out scoring in the 150s on practices and made it up to 163. Hopefully with perfect games and 1 really good args section I can maintain the 160s. Any thoughts on that?
Circuit Breaker setup:
ReplyDeleteFor this game I used 7 columns to indicate on/off. I simply just put an 'on' or 'off' in every column then totalled up the 'ons' and made sure the switch which was the sum of all the 'ons' was 'on'. Doesn't that sound muddled...
I did the same for the circuit breaker setup and it worked great.
ReplyDeletesee, i thought the last deli answer was E too. but i swear that when i was staring at it after time up that the E answer consisted of two people that were not supervisors, and one of the rules stated that there had to be a supervisor. but hey, if you are right and i am wrong then i will totally not complain!
ReplyDeleteI too am hoping that the games section will make up for the horrif RC. i was in the same boat of time constraints for RC big time, and one of the LR sections too. oh well, nothing to do now but wait in agony!
For the last circuit breaker question (which asked how many could be on if 6 and 7 were on), I answered 5, i was wondering if anyone else got this answer. I beleive that switches 5, 6,7, 2 and 3 could be on. Let me know if anyone else got this
ReplyDeleteIn response to the curve, I know a girl that got a 172 on the Oct 2004 test which also had 100 questions. She missed 10 total. That would put a 170 at about the 11 or 12 questions missed mark.
ReplyDeletefor the deli game, i think that E was the answer to the last one....was the question, which of the following can not be a pair that works on friday and E was kevin and paul.. It could not be correct because then seymour would not have worked any that week.
ReplyDeleteIf the answer was E to the last game regarding the deli, then i am a happy camper! there is a real possibility i was just making things up in my mind. it was my last section, so it is quite possible. but i seem to remember the last question asking about which pair could work on a certain day together. hopefully i am just remembering wrong.
ReplyDeleteas for the last circuit breaker question, i think you are correct, five seems to ring a bell.
Did anyone else have a weird arguments question that hinged on some sort of a distinction between "handwriting" and "composition" as it related to 1st graders?
ReplyDeleteI had three arguments sections, and I was hoping that was the experimental one. I have been scoring nearly perfect on every practice test I have taken, but I couldn't even make sense of the intitial statement itself, much less begin to answer a question about it.
Yea the section that had the 1st grader question was a scored section cause I had only 2 LR. I think that it was the very last question for me, I answered C
ReplyDeleteMy test was set up as follows:
ReplyDelete1- Logic Reasoning
2- Logic Reasoning
3- Reading Comp
4- Logic Reasoning
5- Games
Is it safe to say that section 2 was the experimental one?
Also, any thoughts on how tough the curve will be?
Was it just me, or was E not an answer on any of the first three games and then there were a couple in the last game. Seemed like a very odd pattern. Anyone?
ReplyDeleteI found the game about the record store to be the most difficult to set up. I was cruising along on this test till I hit that game and it sent me into a funk. I found the LR sections to be somewhat straightforward and the RC that counted (Chinese, etc) challenging mostly because a few of the questions required significant time to reference back to the material. I ended up guess-timating on one or two of those in an effort to maximize my time on the balance of the questions. I think this approach paid off as I finished the section with enough time to fairly address each question. I was exceptionally dissapointed I didn't handle that record store game better as I'm sure it would have propelled me into the upper range of what I'd been scoring. I'm trying not to be too depressed until I actually find out my damn score.
ReplyDeleteon the record store game, did anyone else conclude that X had all four types, S had three and t had 2.
ReplyDeletei dont recall the specifics of that game, but i do remember that one of the letters had to have all four which ment the first one had three and the next had two... if that makes sense
ReplyDeleteYes, X had to have all four, s had jazz for sure and two more
ReplyDelete"Circuit Breaker setup:
ReplyDeleteFor this game I used 7 columns to indicate on/off. I simply just put an 'on' or 'off' in every column then totalled up the 'ons' and made sure the switch which was the sum of all the 'ons' was 'on'."
Could you please explain this a little bit more cause I tryed a set up like that one but it didn't work.
Bye.
Hey guys,nice to be here through Google search...I take the LSAT at Munich,Germany.The Section order for me is LR-G-RC-LR-G.
ReplyDeleteSince there is only one RC for me,so it must be real.It is about the culture revolution in china and insect...
The first section of LR for me is a pain in the neck.
Decide to take it again in December,though it is so late.
Here's the scale for the June 2005 LSAT (90/100 was a 170, 77/100 was a 160:

Yeah, I remember that composition one, but not the details of the answers. Anyone remember more about it? It would be nice to jog the memory and see if I got it right.
ReplyDeleteFor the games section, did anyone get a run of Bs for the 2nd game (circuit breakers) and a run of Es for the 4th game (staffing supervisors and employees)? Pls put me out of my misery.
ReplyDeletei think you're right. i remember alot of Es for sure in the last one, and about 3 or 4 Bs in one of the others?
ReplyDeleteat least the ease of the games will make up for RC. and that one LR section had the longest last few questions, i couldnt even get to the last few!
So 3 of the games were circuit, deli and record stores. What was the other game? I remember one about employees of a company in different rooms, but I had two games sections so I don't know whether this was part of my scored or experimental.
ReplyDeleteThanks to whoever put up those scales. It sounds like our curve will likely be between the December and June curves, making a 170 around 11 or 12 off.
ReplyDeleteGood luck to all.
CIRCUIT BREAKER
ReplyDeletePlease could somebody explain the set up of the circuit breaker game.
Thanks.
I felt the games were very manageable.
ReplyDeleteThe Circuit breaker game was an in/out conditional game, and if i remember correctly, there was a rule that said if 1 is on, then 3 and 5 aren't on. there was another that said if 2 was on, then 4 was not. the switch number that was the same as the total number of switches on had to be on. not sure if im remembering that correctly. help me out here if you do.
the record store game i set up with music across the top and stores going down the left side of a grid. then checked those that worked and x'ed those that didn't. came out that x had to do all four as it did more than any other. s did three as it did more than t. and t and v didn't do any in common i think. again, help me out what i have wrong.
the first assignment game three me at first b/c i left out a rule, but quickly recovered.
the deli game had N working two days in a row, P had to be before the first S, K had to work on the 1st day as someone else and O had to work on Wed I think.
My experimental was the second RC, which sucked.
The scored RC wasn't too bad, but that Pathogen section was just a mess. just too much info at the end of the section. I picked negligble for that one answer.
Arg's were ok i thought, but i go back and forth with those, sometimes getting two wrong, other times getting 10 wrong in a section.
hope everyone did well, this waiting sh_t sucks! theres gotta be a way to find out sooner. i'm figuring 10 wrong for 170, 25 wrong for 160. good luck!
You remebered the games right, except for that if was on, then 4 and 7 could not be on.
ReplyDeleteDo you remember what your answer was for the maximum amount of switched that could be on? I put 4, whichever letter that was.
I agree with you that the games and arguments were totally manageable.
for maximum light switches i put 5 (i want to say something like #2,3,5,6,7)
ReplyDeleteBut I think they said if 2 was on, then 4 and 7 couldn't be on,
ReplyDeleteor if 4 was on, then 2 and 7 were off.
I mean, I distinctly remember 2 rules about 2 of them having to be off
If 1 was on, then 3 and 5 were off.
And another one like that. So that's how I got a maximum of 4.
I guess we will have to wait and see. I can't stand waiting. I think I would pay $100 to find out now if I could.
the 2 rules were: if 1 was on, then 3 and 5 were off. The second rule was: If 4 was on, then 2 and 5 were off. 5 was part of both rules. For maximum switches I also got the answer of five total and then for the first question I got taht 3, 6 and 7 were acceptable to be on
ReplyDeletefor the first question i picked A (one of my only A's in this section) that 2 and 7 could be on.
ReplyDeleteJust throwin this out there.. I remember getting C for the final three questions on this section...sound familiar to anyone? also i'm not sure if C was 4 or 5 on that maximum quetsion, so if anyone remmembers then thats your answer im guessing.
ReplyDelete3 6 7 sounds familiar as an answer.
but 2 and 7 doesn't sound familiar? which was that?
yea c was 5 on the last question of that game. 3,6,7 was the answer to the first one
ReplyDeleteHello All,
ReplyDeleteI took the LSAT here in Los Angeles, I wanted to know if anyone had any running Cs for the last section of RC with 8 questions. I was able to breeze through the games, had kind of a hard time with LR and couldn't finish reading the fourth passage of the RC I would really appreciate any info on that last passage. I am really considering cancelling because of it...
Anyone?
what about 3, 2 and 7 in lieu of 3, 6, and 7?
ReplyDeleteEveryone here should stop for a moment and realize how absurd the LSAT is. More importantly, think about how absurd it is that the probability that you attend law school increases with your performance on a test that is not significantly correlated with performance in law school OR professional competence. There are NO scientifically valid research results that support the hypothesis that the LSAT score is a predictor of your future performance. Amazing, isn't it? Can you imagine a room full of ADULTS, who truly take themselves seriously, discarding YOUR application in favor of someone who answered three questions more than you did because they selected an answer choice that is a better guess than your choice? The process would never survive in any parallel situation in the real world. Anyway, if you all have a hard time with that circuit question, you should probably bag electrician’s school too.
ReplyDeleteAbout the first circuit question: I'm pretty sure 2 and 7 was the correct answer. You could have had 2 and 7 on and everything else off and still follow all the rules of the game.
ReplyDeleteWhy wouldn't 3,6, and 7 also follow the rules of the game?
ReplyDeleteI disagree with the notion that the LSAT is "absurd." If it were the only criterion used for law school admissions, yes it would be absurd. However, that is not the way law schools use it. When you combine it with GPA, degree program and work experience, you get a better overall picture of the candidate's performance. Think about all of the slackers in college who skated by taking easy courses in degrees like Liberal Arts, Journalism and Art History. They probably will have good GPAs because they have taken cupcake courses. I know people like this, and it insults me when they say "I don't know what I want to do when I graduate... Maybe I'll go to law school. Lawyers make good money." If there were no LSAT, these slackers would have just as good of a chance to get into law schools as people like us who have worked our tails off to get in. Remember, the LSAT is a bell-shaped curve. For everyone who scores a 164 or a 170, there is some slacker that is scoring a 148 or a 142. This helps law school to best ensure that only serious candidates are accepted.
ReplyDeleteis there anyway our scores will be available before the 24th? my friend said he received his score earlier than he thought he would, but i'm not sure if he was estimating or if there was a date set forth for comparison.
ReplyDeletehow do you guys think the curve will be?
Take a look at Prep Test 45 (Dec 2004) if you want a basis for a scale, since it is very comprable to the October LSAT. Last December's test has a relatively easy games section with 22 questions, a similar reading comp section, and moderately difficult logical reasoning sections. It was also a 100 question test, except it had one question excluded from scoring. My guess is that the scale for this test will be:
ReplyDelete175: 93
174: 92
173: 91
172: 90
171: 89
170: 88
169: 87
168: 86
167: 84-85
166: 83
165: 82
164: 80-81
163: 79
162: 77-78
161: 76
160: 74-75
I put C also for the last question on the arguments section about the kids and composition. It was a strengthen question and the answer was something about how the more kids read, the greater their composition skills increased in proportion. I'm pretty sure that was right...
ReplyDeleteI THINK the answer to that last question on the Games section was B--the answer was definitely (_someone_) and SEYMOUR regardless of what the letter choice was. The question was which one of the following cannot be a pair of members who work on Monday. Obviously, Seymour couldn't have been the answer since he could not work on any days earlier than Paul. I remember it was super-easy when you realized that...
ReplyDeleteThe answer to the question about the max lights was 5 (C I think). 2,3,5,6,7 could all be on. You just had to turn off lights 1 and 4 and there was nothing to stop the other 5 from being ON. The answers for that game were BBCCC if I remember correctly--good for those of you who guessed B or C!
ReplyDeleteAnd BTW, the only truly "ABSURD" thing here is all this guessing about what the scale will be!
Does anyone remember this one question in Logical Reasoning? It was one of those questions that has a person and then a statement. I think it was like "Philosopher: ..."
ReplyDeleteThe question was about if someone could act unnaturally. The philosopher said it was not possible, since you cannot really act out of your own nature.
The question asked what the method of argument was. I was stuck between two answer choices: one was the philosopher uses a definition...the other was the philosopher undermines the statement by proving that it is self-contradictory.
Sorry, for the long description. Anyone remember what they put?
Does anyone remember the # of questions in each of the RC passages?
ReplyDeleteI know the total was 26 but not he break down.
It is important to realize that what we are trying to do here: somehow predict our scores- is impossible. There are simply too many factors to consider. Our fates were sealed the moment we left that testing room. So we may as well relax! However, our being here is telling of where we stand on the LSAT bell curve. I somehow doubt that 140 and 150 people make it onto this blog. Good luck everyone!
ReplyDeleteI talked to a rep @lsac today and she stated that results will not be ready b4 oct 24th. However she did assure me that they are sent out first thing in the morning via email. She also stated that those who choose to call in for their results will not be able to until 7p est on 24th of oct
ReplyDeleteLike someone posted above, my test in Los Angeles was also arranged:
ReplyDelete1- Logic Reasoning
2- Logic Reasoning
3- Reading Comp
4- Logic Reasoning
5- Games
I thought the first LR was difficult and the other 2 extremely easy. So I thought and hoped maybe the first LR section was the experimental. The on/off game took me too much time to set up. I also didn't get through the RC section. I ended up canceling my score on the 9th day.
I usually do really well on the reading comp, but I thought it was tougher on this test. Anyone else think so? Also, does anyone remember any of the questions from that section (I had it first) so maybe I could get a sense for how I did? Thanks! Also, if anyone DOES get their test results earlier, please tell the rest of us so that we can check on ours.
ReplyDelete........by the way guys, I've consistently scored in the low to mid 140s on all my previous practice tests! So in response to the comment that 140s and 150s probably don't make it to this blog, they do!........GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!
ReplyDeleteHmm.... In order to score a 140 you would need to get about 39-41 right (or more like 6 out of 10 wrong). A person could almost guess every answer and score that high. Although the test is tough (when trying to score a 170), the test ISN'T that hard. A chicken with a pencil in its beak probably could score a 140 (like the chicken that beats everyone in tic-tact-toe). From what I can see from the person who worte the previous post, they can spell correctly, use proper grammer, and punctuate properly (not always a given). Since that means you have at least moderate intelligence, you didn't score mid- to low-140's. Thanks for trying to bust chops though.
ReplyDeleteLet me quote from your comment:
ReplyDelete"correctly, use proper grammer, and punctuate properly"--
Note to your college education "grammer" is spelled "grammAr". MAYBE you scored in the 140s, but you DEFINITELY screwed up the writing section.
Hmmm, getting a little catty, aren't we? Looks like some people are getting a little nervous about their performance as getting our scores draws nearer...
ReplyDeleteI know last year the scores were set to be released on a monday (like Oct. 24th this year), and I received mine via e-mail on the Saturday before. My guess is that it will be the same this year, so expect your score via email on Saturday, October 22nd. Good luck to all.
ReplyDeleteIn response to the person who said “the 140s and 150s people don’t make it onto this blog”…you’re kidding right? How stuck up can you be? Please get over yourself, some people worked hard to make it into the upper 150’s, others worked hard to make it into the upper 140s, and I’m willing to bet that there are a lot of people out there who are highly intelligent who do not break 160. Just be careful what you say, we are all nervous and people have different goals. Us being here is not telling of anything more than our level of anxiety over the LSAT. You should apologize, I don’t think your remark was meant to do much more than make yourself feel good.
ReplyDeleteWell I see that some people are a little bit insecure. It is a shame that a forum that should be used to exchange helpful information and create thoughtful dialog is being used to berate and undermine others. Perhaps those of you who choose to engage in such adolescent rhetoric should consider growing up before attempting to practice law.
ReplyDeleteFor the purpose of clarity the previous comment was directed to the author of the ill-intentioned comment posted regarding the correlation between LSAT scores and intelligence.
ReplyDeleteMy "ill-intentioned" comment was intended only to remind the person I was referring to that he/she should consider the feelings of all potential readers before saying something which could potentially insult someone, or induce increased insecurity. I concede that I could have made my point in a kinder way, and I admit that I acted on my initial reaction. For that I appologize, beyond that, my feelings remain the same. Further,as you may notice, your reaction was much the same as mine: You read a post which offended you and responded, which I, and no doubt others, respect. Nonetheless, we are all in the same boat and I wish you and everyone else the best of luck.
ReplyDeleteYou know, I agree with everyone. The first practice test I ever did I got 141... and I don't really think of myself as stupid, and I actually did try! Of course with practice that improved, but I have to say that the majority of posters on here do seem to be high scorers, and that can be really hard for us 'chickens' to take comments as such. I know when I first started reading posts before the test I felt like a complete moron because everybody was boasting about scoring in the 160s and 170s. Anyways, needless to say, it is important to remember that everyone and anyone can access this site. Just because someone doesn't score so high doesn't mean they aren't interested in doing well!
ReplyDeleteOh, one more thing... Assuming that liberal arts such as art history are 'slacker' classes is just a little simple minded, don't you think?? One of my degrees is in art history, and I thank you to not think it's just a walk in the park. It may not be rocket science, but at least in that field you are either correct or incorrect. You would be amazed at the 'bull sht'in' skills us 'lazy' liberal arts majors gain, as well as research and reading comp.
ReplyDeleteYou may think I'm a slacker, but I know I worked my butt off to get my honours with distinction. Then again, maybe art history is different at your location, here it is art, sociology, histroy and philosophy all rolled into one.
Not that I take that comment too personally or anything :)
good luck all! I'm sure everyone from the 'chicken with a pencil in his beak' ( probably with a liberal arts degree too) to the super genius did great.
Perhaps I'm wrong, but it seems like the person responsible for assuming art history majors are lazy, 140s/150s are not present, and the infamous chicken comment might just be the same person. Maybe not, but if such mean comments don't scream insecurity, I don't know what does. And while I am not an art history major, I have never understood it to be a easy major, hats off to you for getting honors with distinction!! =)And hats off to that chicken with the 140...must be the chicken that laid the golden egg with skills like that!
ReplyDeleteOkay I see that further clarity is needed. I posted the 2 comments addressing the "il-intentioned comments" , however my response was directed to the author of the "chicken with a pencil comments". To the person who responded to my comments I apologize. My thoughts were not meant to criticize your comments in any way. I feel that your comments were right on target. Futhermore I think your response and subsequent apology , although not warranted speaks volumes to your character. good luck to everyone and especially to you , I am sure you are going to be a great addition to the practice.
ReplyDeleteSeriously speaking guys, the highest score I've ever gotten on any practice test was a 146 - no kidding!!
ReplyDeleteNevertheless, I consider myself highly intelligent. I went to high school in another country and did my undergraduate at a top liberal arts college in NY (Poli Sci major). I've never encountered LSAT "like" questions until my senior year in college when I decided to practice for test.
Ironically, I do not find the LSAT difficult. The problem I have is timing. I am a very slow test taker and usually never complete more than 17(at best) questions per section.
Hopefully my score will be at least in the 150s range since I completed 3 of the 4 games in the game section - something I've never done before (usually 2 of 4).
Don't feel bad. I have the same problem. It is really hard to answer every question. Hats off to everyone who was able to do that. Hats off to everyone who took the test because it felt like running a marathon to me.
ReplyDeleteIs anyone applying to schools in boston? which ones?
Referring to someone earlier about the curve...I took the JUNE lsat (didn't reattempt on the OCT) We had 100 questions...but 1 was thrown out so we had 99...I missed a dozen got a 87 and got a 167...yeah pisses me off but I feel that the curves are getting tighter...back in teh mid and early ' 90s you can miss a dozen and get a 170 easy...most of the time...but since the 2002-2005 it seems like those days have passed...maybe there's too many people taking the test and bringing down teh curve...just a guess..i'm not sure.
ReplyDeleteAs a 150's scorer I am for sure worried about even getting in. I think it is a bit different here in Canada, we only have 15 schools, and one is for a law degree in french. I'm guessing that some schools here are a bit more 'holistic' in chosing students (not all of them! some just care if you have a 4.0 and 160 lsat).
ReplyDeleteAs for applications, they are a TOTAL bizatch, I have been putting together a lot and I never realized how time consuming and hard core they can be.
Nevertheless I too am dying for monday! (or saturday, as one person was mentioning... not sure if sooner is better)
And yes, the time constraints suck. If I had all day I'm sure I could ace the damn thing, but alas.
Why would you even waste the $120 to take the LSAT if you can't get out of the 140s on the practice tests? Let's see if we can do this Argumentative Reasoning question: Scores on the LSAT correspond very well with scores on practice LSATs. It is very difficult for a student to change their score and even the slightest change requires tremendous effort and time. People who score in the 140s on the LSAT typically do not get into any accredited law schools. What conclusion can be properly drawn from these premises?
ReplyDeletePeople who score in the 140s typically do not get into any accredited law schools? On what proof do you base this statement? Since your comment is obviously void of any logical justification, I (along with everyone else here) would gladly invite you to get off your high horse and have a little respect. It is truly people like you that give people in the law profession a bad name. Just remember...what goes around, comes around. I think I can safely speak for everyone here when I say that I cannot wait for you to get yours.
ReplyDeleteI base my argument on the 25/75 percentile figures for entering classes to ABA accredited law schools. Some bottom-feeding 4th Tier schools do dip into the 140's... and hence I said "typically don't get in," not "never get in."
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion, the purpose of this blog is to offer advice and pointers to people who are in similar circumstances. In this light, this blog has been very helpful. However, I am struggling to see how anyone is benefitting from rude or disrespectful comments. Every person who logs on to this blog is obviously very concerned about their future and should be given total respect.
ReplyDeleteI congratulate you who are positive of your success. For those of us who are not so sure, don't lose hope. The fact you care enough about your future to join a blog about a stupid test says something about you. Keep working hard and everything will work out.
Please, let's remember that the purpose of this blog is to help one another succeed in getting into law school.
Try to be a little bit more respectful and considerate. If you find this difficult, maybe you should consider logging on to another blog.
you're a jerk off, go back to the country club!
ReplyDeleteI was talking to the person who made the comment about 140's being for "bottom feeding" schools. Just because you score higher than that doesn't change the fact that you suck.
ReplyDeleteOuchie, people are quite sensitive! But to clarify, I don't think there's anything wrong with someone who scores in the 140s on the LSAT. In fact, taking the LSAT in itself is a sign that you've completed or are about to complete an undergraduate education (not anything to sneeze at, in my opinion.) But a 140 on the LSAT does signify that your academic strengths don't correspond all that well with what the ABA deems the standard for a strong law student. So... you can blame the ABA or perhaps consider that there may be other things you're far better at than the LSAT and law. MCAT, anyone?
ReplyDeleteDon't forget the participants on this blog represents a very very small % of the LSAT takers. There are many people who've taken test and scored withing the 140s and got into law schools, it may not be Harvard but they got in - ABA approved. Statistics and reports may show the average score as being somewhere in the mid 150s but don't forget that that's the AVERAGE!
ReplyDeleteI am currently a certified paralegal in NYC and I also have been scoring in the 140s - low 150s. I took the October LSAT and I guarantee I will be attending law school next fall!
FYI - to the comment "some bottom feeding 4th Tier schools do dip into the 140's"- there are also 1st and 2nd tier schools that also "dips" in the 140s - which I know for a fact! So guess what, I may just be sitting right next to you at HARVARD!
Note to the previous post: Thanks for the advice...all things we all should keep in mind.
ReplyDeleteHello Room:
ReplyDeleteIt's me. The guy who wrote the "chicken with the pencil" and the "absurd" posts (I am not responsible for the other mean spirited comments). I had no idea that there were so many sensitivities in this blog and about the LSAT. First, I am sorry if I offended anyone. I was trying to add humor to the blog because people seemed overly intense about the results of the Oct. test (Of course a chicken cannot really score a 140). Sometimes things that are written, and not spoken, lose their intended connotation and humor. With the "absurd" comment, I was making a point about people, who do not put forth any serious effort in undergrad or prep for the LSAT, expecting to wake up one day and get accepted into an accredited law school. As someone who has worked hard and struggled, I often get insulted by some people's liassez-faire approach to something I have taken very serious. I was not trying to demean the people who work their tails off preparing to take the LSAT and have difficulty achieving higher scores. I understand how difficult the LSAT can be. I paid $1200 for a prep course myself. I started with a score of 149 and left the prep course with a score of 152 six weeks later. Unhappy with my results, I reread all the lessons and spent about 3-6 hours a day practicing and testing for two months. My last five practice test scores were between 160-164. I am fortunate to acheive the results I did (it was very frustrating at first), but I have concerns just like everyone else. Three or four points on the LSAT can seriously alter the quality of law school you can get accepted into, whether you are scoring a 167, a 160, a 154, or a 148. So whether or not they admit it, EVERYONE making posts is concerned (or they wouldn't be here!). I do have some positive things to add. Just remember that even if you don't get a high score on this test, you can always prepare and retest again. Most law school either average or use your most recent test score. And even then if your score isn't high enough to get into the school you want to get into, you can always do your 1L at another school, demonstrate that you can handle the work and get good grades, and transfer into a better school. There are always options. So once again I am sorry if I have offended anyone, and I hope everyone receives good scores on Monday and does well with the application process.
I took the June 05 test and we got our results back 2 weeks and 5 days later. I also took the october test, 2 weeks and 5 days has gone by. Anyone else think they might come tomorrow or saturday? My June score came on a Saturday and we were scheduled to get them on a monday. That might mean we here on saturday.
ReplyDeleteif we get them tomorrow or saturday I don't know if I will be able to open them :) yikes! can't believe they will be here in the very near future!!
ReplyDeleteTo the chicken comment-er, you're right, it was pretty funny. and yah, a chicken could get at least 141! (just kidding by the way) I too get ticked off at the people who just sleep through university and expect wonders. I know I have worked hard. As my mom always said "marks are your pay" - never actually understood that before now!
good luck all! my fingers, toes and eyes are crossed for all of us awaiting scores.
as stated before, just remember guys... one insignificant score won't determine your whole life. Don't get too worked up over it, sending out the positive energy to all of you, best of luck
ReplyDeleteI think everyone here are all striving for the same goal, and that is getting into law school. I don't believe anyone of us would be here if we didn't take the lsat and law school serious. Whether you are a 140 or 180 scorer, I truly hope we all will get accepted somewhere.
ReplyDeleteGood luck again everyone!
To the Harvard PhD who wrote about his experience with HLS students: Yes, everyone who gets a law degree from Harvard is relatively on the same playing field. But this is not an indication that grades don't matter. In fact, grades matter A LOT. They will either grant or deny you access to exclusive clubs and publications and will almost certainly determine where you work during your internships and in your first real job. Being at the bottom third of the class at HLS is probably not the end of the world. You may not be a Supreme Court justice, but you'll be employed. However, being in the lower halves of the classes at many other law schools will result in a lengthy period of unemployment after graduation and ultimately a far lower salary. In some markets such as Boston, where there are many law schools and a huge supply of young eager lawyers, competition for work is so intense that it is nearly impossible to find a position if you're not from a Top 100 school and at the top of the class. So you can go to a lower-ranked school and hang out and have fun and then try to pay off $100,000 in loans from your Unemployment checks- but is it worth it?
ReplyDeleteHas anyone else heard whether scores will be sent out tomorrow?
ReplyDeleteI just got my score! 142!!!! Wooooohoooo!
ReplyDelete--The Chicken
has anyone heard their score yet?
ReplyDeleteI've been checking my e-mail since 8:20am california time....my score has not been sent yet. I was told that they might be sent today.
ReplyDeleteNothing yet. I have been checking too in Chicago and still nothing. The suspense is doing quite a job on me. Good luck to everyone
ReplyDeleteLSAC should just make the official release day the 24th and announce that they will only send them out on that day. I dont think I can survive 3 whole days of constant checking because of the slim possibility it may come early!
ReplyDeleteOnce we get our scores, will we just go on with our lives and forget about each other? I almost don't want to get my score- I love this blog!
ReplyDeleteI took the october LSAT last year and the scores were released Friday (before the scheduled Monday) I called LSAC this morning...she said if they finish they might be released today.
ReplyDeleteBut if they don't finish today will it have to wait until Monday since they may not work on weekends?
ReplyDeletedoes anyone know if they put the score in the subject of the email? I need to prep myself before finding out!
ReplyDeleteNow thats funny!!! I know how you feel but I dont know if they will put our scores in the subject field or not but I tend to think not. Good luck
ReplyDeletewell dont keep us in suspense did you or didnt you?(lol)
ReplyDeleteYou guys aren't joking...."does anyone know if they put the score in the subject of the email?" Come on, is it that serious?
ReplyDeleteYo, u r a clown! lsat score in subject line!
ReplyDeletewell is that a yes or no on the subject line? and anyone get theirs yet? i bet that itll come tomorrow since it is so late today
ReplyDeleteWhen does LSAC close for the day?
ReplyDeleteLast year, when I took the October 2005 LSAT, I received it the Friday before at 10:22PM. So go figure...
ReplyDeleteEr, 2004 LSAT rather...
ReplyDelete10:22 pm, wow. We arent going to get a break from obsessive checking even after COB on a Friday. Did you happen to recall if you got your score in the subject line of that oct 2004 lsat?
ReplyDeleteAre the scores being sent to our personal email or to our LSAC account?
ReplyDeleteIt's in the subject line. The subject line reads something to the effect of "Your October 2005 LSAT Score," so they're no confusion about what you're getting.
ReplyDeleteIt will be sent to the email address you have registered with LSAC.
I just heard.........it will be in the subject line, so put your helmet on!
ReplyDeleteIT'S HERE!!!!!
ReplyDeleteYou received your scores? Where do you live? Or do they send them alphabetically?
ReplyDeleteAfter we get our scores what else will we talk about?
ReplyDeleteI am going to miss everyone, I wish we weren't getting our scores this soon :(!
I heard they report the scores in order. So the 170s should have come in this morning, the 160s this afternoon, the 150s tomorrow, and the rest on Monday.
ReplyDeleteWhoops, I think my post may have been misinterpreted. It is NOT in the subject line. The subject line reads "Your October LSAT Score" and that's it. Geez, where is my mind today.
ReplyDeleteGreat, I just received mine and I got a 148. Looks like rest of you are screwed.
ReplyDeleteEveryone stop teasing!
ReplyDeleteI'm assuming that everyone has been joking baout already receiving their scores...and what's this nonsense about sending out the scores in order of rank - that's just dumb.
1 from Chicago
ReplyDelete(GO WHITE SOX!!!)
I think I'm going to puke!!
ReplyDeleteWhen I got my SAT results I took them out of the envelope and covered up the numbers without looking and then moved the paper over just so I could see the first number of the two sub-scores and get an idea of what range I scored in. Then I felt confident enough to see the whole number. But this is just gonna be right there in front of me... Naked. My delicate sensibilities....
ReplyDeleteI'm from Boston, too!
ReplyDeleteDC baby
ReplyDeleteThe left click button just broke off my mouse. I refreshed my email too many times.
ReplyDeleteI think we'll be getting our scores sometime today. I just called LSAC and they are still processing.
ReplyDeleteProcessing, eh? Wonder what that means exactly. Curious to know what the margin is for human error here. I mean if it takes so long then they must be entering data or something. Do you think they ever enter incorrect scores?
ReplyDeleteHow does "still processing" mean we're going to get them today.
ReplyDeleteI think it'll be tomorrow or Monday.
NY baby!!
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't make any sense that they'd wait for the last day before the deadline to process the scores!
ReplyDeletePerson who talked to LSAC: did they give you any more reason to believe that they would try to get them out by the end of the day? How did you come up with that?
ReplyDeleteMy friend's aunt has a friend that works for the LSAC and she got her score on Wednesday...now that's discrimination!
ReplyDelete....or maybe Saturday but, I thought if they weren't being sent out today/tomorrow they definitely would have said so but, he didn't he just said they are being processed and might be sent our today.
ReplyDeleteThere is also a Law School Forum going on in NYC tomorrow and I'm sure they'd want to get the scores out before the the start of the forum which is 10am.
I just called up an the lady seemed very irritated, and when I asked if the scores would be released today, she said "I DON'T KNOW!"
ReplyDeleteSome pencil pusher at LSAC is laughing at your score and you don't even know it! That ain't right...
ReplyDeleteI also called and they did sounded a bit irritated! oh well! Let's all call them!
ReplyDeleteThey took our jobs... (South Park reference to lighten the mood)
ReplyDeletei bet she has been fielding the calls all day. this must happen every friday before the official release date.
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised they just don't shut the phones off a few days before the release. Maybe they worry about people going to Newtown, PA and storming their castle.
ReplyDeleteI wonder, what exactly are they doing. What is this process of processing? Do they enter each person's info separately? How the hell do you think they work it. At what point do you think they just hit enter and it all gets sent out?
ReplyDeleteNazi is a proper noun and must be spelled with a capital letter! ;)
ReplyDeleteI think you meant to say "The word 'Nazi' is a proper noun and the first letter must be capitalized."
ReplyDeleteSeveral people have now reported that they have received scores. Can anyone confirm this?
ReplyDeleteIf you're talking about several people on this blog reporting that they got their scores, I'm sure they're lying.
ReplyDeletesan diego, California ...you know what really gets to me...each time I check my e-mail I have a new freakin message and I think that this is it...turns out to be some crap like beauty make over over financing home loans!
ReplyDeleteYou need to get yourself some spam-blocker.
ReplyDeleteYou know, it's funny. I've taken the LSAT more seriously than almost anything else in my life. Whatever score I get, I will definitely know that I didn't cut any corners in getting there.
ReplyDeleteI just got my LSAT score. Lower than I thought. SHIT.
ReplyDeletelet's all share
ReplyDelete159.. I usually got 163 on practices :(
ReplyDeletewhat percentile is a 159 these days?
ReplyDeleteFor the poster who got his/her score, where did you take your test?
ReplyDeleteDid you really get your score already? I know they must be coming out soon, because my law school reports on LSDAS went from 'R7' status (no reportable score) to 'ready to send' status.
ReplyDeleteDo you think they're releasing these scores alphabetically?
ReplyDeleteTo the person who received his/her score already: Does your last name start with a letter at the beginning of the alphabet or the end?
I just got my score too..from nyc, last name B..sucks
ReplyDeleteMy last name also begins with a B. I took my test in Maryland.
ReplyDeleteAnd a 159 is 79% these days to answer your question
ReplyDeleteWell a 79th %ile is definitely respectable! :) Congrats
ReplyDeleteWell thanks, and I dont mean to insult anybody of course, be we all have our own personal expectations and mine was lower than what I expected. But good luck to everybody else
ReplyDeleteAnyone from the West Coast receive his/her score yet?
