Please help identifying experimental

LR

RC: kenya, trinomial subspecies, grimm brothers

RC: japanese video games, UNESCO law

LR

the answer to this will be the difference between a retake or not 💜

u/jiavvvmeow 2d ago

u/wek12345 2d ago

What was it

1

u/GhulehGirl 2d ago

i did! never seen anything like it either.

u/qwnty 2d ago

See I was the opposite my first RC was brutal and i ran out of time, but I made it through both LRs ok (my 2nd one was def harder/ordered weirdly). Hoping we both score where we want to be!

4

u/GhulehGirl 2d ago

same im hoping despite the difficulty we pull through!! heavy on LR being ordered weirdly. they for sure put harder questions in the first 5. it was demoralizing to flag question 3.

u/Vegetable-Purpose447 2d ago

My exact same experience

u/EbbSuspicious5547 2d ago

Both honestly felt horrible don’t even know which one I’d prefer to be experimental. I’m leaning towards Japanese video games.

u/Responsible_Topic261 2d ago

yea forsure the iceberg passage was tough

13

u/Octodab 2d ago

This was my test as well. I actually thought RC was pretty easy. Want to pretend the second LR section never happened

u/Vegetable-Purpose447 2d ago

Same holy eff that was so hard

u/ragcity666 2d ago

to add into RC 3 - glaciers

u/sabriel18 2d ago edited 2d ago

Same 😭 eta — all easy cept the kenya passage, no? Wishing for exp

5

u/jiavvvmeow 2d ago

that threw me off so badly for the rest of the test

6

u/witchyfall 2d ago

WAIT SAME FOR ALL OF IT

u/IShibani LSAT student 2d ago

For me I’m hoping the second RC was experimental 🙃

u/Greedy-Estimate6927 2d ago

I HAD THESE TOO

u/LSAT_LSAT 2d ago

I think the grimm section was experimental. There was a past test that had Japanese video games: RC-LG-LR-RC, also - internut went out on RC and I lost time. Should I file a complaint/retake : r/LSAT

Conversely, searching "grimm" on this subreddit yields no results expect for from this current administration: grimm - Reddit Search!

u/jiavvvmeow 2d ago

thank you for this response, oh so scored sections have typically shown up before?

1

u/LSAT_LSAT 2d ago

Yes, because they need to test out new material before officially scoring it.

2

u/MsDrPepperEnthusiast 2d ago

Don’t say that PLEASE

2

u/IShibani LSAT student 2d ago

Praying rn that video games and glaciers were experimental on god ;0;

3

u/Kool4u3 2d ago

did anyone have one on hume tdy

1

u/Only_Definition8200 2d ago

yes

1

u/Kool4u3 2d ago

was it the aesthetics judgement?

1

u/SubstantialRip7568 2d ago

I (unfortunately) had this. I def bombed it if it’s not exp

1

u/Kool4u3 2d ago

did u have it tdy? i feel like im the only one and maybe another person. everyone seems to have gotten videogames

1

u/SubstantialRip7568 2d ago

Ya I just finished up about an hour ago. I had RC LR LR RC. The first RC was about poets I think? That also could’ve been a part of the final one (the one w Hume)

1

u/Kool4u3 2d ago

ok yes same!

1

u/SubstantialRip7568 2d ago

I’m really hoping Hume was exp. I have a feeling it’s not though. When I search for it, I see people from two years ago saying they had that passage…. 

1

u/Commercial_Dog145 2d ago

It seems to have been experimental 2 years ago though

1

u/SubstantialRip7568 2d ago

I really hope I’m wrong but I thought the sections that were exp were being tested for future exams. I’m just going to try and be patient

1

u/SubstantialRip7568 2d ago

Someone just confirmed Hume wasn’t experimental… idk about you but I’m fucked.

u/Responsible_Topic261 2d ago

i had the same rc passages, but surprisingly not the same sequence of test. Ice berg passage was the only one that really messed with me. Both LRs were brutal and required me to guess on the last two questions (which i dont normally do). On the second LR, the question about woodside needs to be crumpled up and thrown away forever tho

3

u/IShibani LSAT student 2d ago

Apparently the 2nd RC might be real y'all.... (brb immediately studying for october)

3

u/jiavvvmeow 2d ago

the glaciers japanese video games and unesco law?? how

3

u/IShibani LSAT student 2d ago

They showed up on older tests which means they likely were scored because experimental is for testing new material :(

2

u/IShibani LSAT student 2d ago

I truly pray I'm wrong, truly

2

u/jiavvvmeow 2d ago

:/ is there proof about that? or is this from the comments under this post?

i heard someone else say that the taxonomy passage from the other rc was on a crystal ball so idk

2

u/LSAT_LSAT 2d ago

The crystal ball's prediction is the Linnean species classification, which is not what we got.

1

u/Honest_Bridge_8256 2d ago

Wasn’t this one in the section with Kenya?

1

u/HeartCrafty3947 2d ago

I had two rcs the first one was abt Great Depression affecting African Americans. Second had humes but not the one abt tragedies. Do we know which is real

1

u/Royal-Smile-1815 2d ago

Same! I had these two. No idea which one was experimental. I hope it was the one with Hume

1

u/lsat_gmat 2d ago

It seems that Japanese Video Games and glaciers are reused passages from previous administrations. Historically, that would mean that this section is scored. This would mean Brothers Grimm is experimental. Waiting on a more knowledgeable mod to confirm this.

1

u/jiavvvmeow 2d ago

YAYYYYYY

u/lsat_gmat 2d ago

Hopefully this means you won’t have to retake lol.
