Re: figuring out the LSAT experimental section
Normally, we can figure it out pretty easily after the test.
It's not as if experimental sections are *necessarily* weirder. The overall difficulty just might not be exactly what LSAC is looking to do. And they want to know that no group is uniquely disadvantaged by a particular question.
It might sound a little harsh, but I'm going to give it to you straight:
Students are notoriously bad at determining the experimental section in the heat of the moment with all the stress and adrenaline of the real thing.
You only have so much mental capacity at one time - and what you should be doing is focusing on solving the questions, not figuring out if it's *real* or not.
Also keep in mind that LSAC is VERY good at writing LSAT questions - they're not experimenting on whether the questions are valid or not. It's much more about seeing if students will perform on them as expected.
