I just got my October 2011 score back, and I am 100% sure that my experimental LR section was FOURTH. Can anyone else who got their scores back today confirm this as well? I don’t want to go into details, but there was a lot of trash talk going on in here about people accusing others of trolling and other such nonsense because they were convinced that their experimentals were fourth.
I was pretty sure mine was fourth, but wanted to wait until my score came out before saying anything.
BTW…got a 160 first try, and I am NOT going to retake in December.
I’m in Hawaii, and it’s only 4 pm here, but my friends and I are heading to the pub to get smashed in a haze of celebration!!
laugh if you please…i’m a single mother working full time (no credit cards or welfare for me!) and going to school full time. my 160 is sufficient for UH, which is the only law school in hawaii. i guess i COULD lock myself in a room and study for the next 3 months for a score that i don’t need, but i’d much rather spend that time enjoying life.
I also had the experimental 4th section… Really sucks because I literally flew through it and never felt so great about an LR section in my life Oh well, congrats on being done!
I think its interesting that they chose to make the experimental section 4th only for those who had the 3 LR sections…for people who had RC in sections 3 and 4 the experimental was still before the break. If it had been after and someone had been unethical enough to look ahead in their test book they would have assumed 3 was the unscored section, cruised through it and been screwed. LSAC must have been aware of this and chose not to go that way this first time.
this was my first thread posted, and i find the highly negative comments quite surprising. is this some sort of hazing ritual for new comers? the negative comments have absolutely nothing to do with the actual topic.
Honestly, before I took the LSAT I had no idea it could only be one of the first 3, so when I got to section 4 (the 3rd LR) and did some of the questions, it felt so… off to me that I really figured it was the experimental, and I didn’t take it 100% seriously. So yeah, I am very happy it did turn out to be the experimental. Curious if this is a one time thing, or if it’ll be happening a lot from now on.
hmmm…so you’re skeptical to the point of blatantly and incorrectly calling me a liar and also telling me that i can’t work full time while i’m going to school? the words “believe in yourself” sound hypocritical coming from you. keep your limitations to yourself, and don’t presume to tell me what i am and am not capable of doing.
i also suspected that the 4th was experimental while i was doing it. i believe that this is a strategic move on the lsac’s part to force test takers to stay on their toes throughout the entire lsat.
Well, you can say that only in hindsight.
This is precisely the reason why I performed under my average for Oct. I assumed I was going to cancel because I bombed the fourth section. I half assed my last section. 50% of my mistakes were in the last section.
I didn’t cancel because I found out the 4th could be experimental and most schools look at top score anyway. But geez I wish I hadn’t assumed…
Oh well, congrats on being done!
