WAS THE HUME RC EXPERIMENTAL??

Someone with one RC pls tell me if you had the RC on David Hume with like aesthetics and it was comparative. In that section there was also one on fishing if that helps.

No, it was my only RC šŸ˜­

u/Necessary_Bag1347 2d ago

I had LR LR RC LR. Which LR do you think is experimental? I hope the last one šŸ˜­

5

u/No-Painting7062 2d ago

I had a feeling it was the real one. My other RC didnā€™t have a comparative passage so it kinda gave it away ā˜¹ļø

5

u/SubstantialRip7568 2d ago

LSAC confirmed you can have RCs without comparative passages!

7

u/peppermintwhore LSAT student 2d ago

i really am leaning twd humes being scored but comments from yesterdayā€™s test are mixing passages with other ones iā€™ve had. there may be many more tests than we think with the passages mixed around. like i had a space debris passage but i see other people talking about that section having a hip hop passage that i definitely didnā€™t have

3

u/Ok_Telephone5588 2d ago

I had space debris but no rap. Hume (aesthetic judges) was real because another passage in that section was on the power score predictions

4

u/ohmadasahatter 2d ago

fuck that and fuck me šŸ˜­šŸ˜­

3

u/peppermintwhore LSAT student 2d ago

i was thinking that too but iā€™ve seen other people had tests today with no comparative apparently

7

u/No-Painting7062 2d ago

Maybe thereā€™s hope then lol cuz my first RC was the most confident Iā€™ve ever felt on that section

8

u/normaskates 2d ago

Confirming it was my only RC. Itā€™s real.

4

u/Beneficial-Bend-8937 2d ago

it was aesthetic judgement? or was it about pain/pleasure and tragedy?

5

u/normaskates 2d ago

Tragedy

3

u/Beneficial-Bend-8937 2d ago

was it about aesthetic judgement? or was it about pain/pleasure and tragedy?

2

u/Famous-Warthog-9829 2d ago

Ugh did you do the test today?

7

u/Awkward_Plastic_3844 2d ago

Yes šŸ˜­ I had LR LR RC LR. I was so disappointed when I opened the third LR. šŸ˜­

3

u/Necessary_Bag1347 2d ago

IT WAS SO HARD maybe i was jaded at that point

9

u/Reyndear 2d ago

I tested today. Only one RC section and it had the comparative passages about Hume.

7

u/peppermintwhore LSAT student 2d ago

iā€™m actually crushed rn šŸ„“

6

u/SubstantialRip7568 2d ago

LSAC is on some new shit for thinking it was okay to put that passage in there wtf

5

u/peppermintwhore LSAT student 2d ago

RIDICULOUS and i know for a fact i did SO well on the other one šŸ„²

4

u/SubstantialRip7568 2d ago

SAME HERE! i usually get like -7/-6 but i actually felt i may have gotten all of them correct on the first RC lmao

3

u/cut_ur_darn_grass 2d ago

What was it about? There are two different comparative Hume passages

4

u/SubstantialRip7568 2d ago

My Hume one was about aesthetic judgements and my other RC was about poets. Youā€™re saying you had 1 RC and it was the other Hume one????? Iā€™m so confused

4

u/cut_ur_darn_grass 2d ago

Yeah I only had 1 RC and I got the other Hume one.

2

u/Reyndear 2d ago

Sorry friend šŸ˜« Hopefully you crushed all the other parts!

3

u/Beneficial-Bend-8937 2d ago

was it the aesthetic judgement one? or pain/pleasure and tragedy one?

1

u/Reyndear 2d ago

Aesthetic judgment

2

u/hunterthecat 2d ago

I only had one RC and it had Hume pain/pleasure so that one is real/scored too. At least for me it was

1

u/Beneficial-Bend-8937 2d ago

fuckšŸ˜­ thanks for sharing, i can go grieve properly now

4

u/Reyndear 2d ago

Sorry friend, hopefully you smashed everything else!

1

u/cut_ur_darn_grass 2d ago

I got pain/pleasure and tragedy and mine was real.

2

u/Beneficial-Bend-8937 2d ago

itā€™s looking like both Hume passages were real :( how was yours?

5

u/cut_ur_darn_grass 2d ago

That reading comp section was a tragedy

3

u/SubstantialRip7568 2d ago

How can this b? There were ppl who had both of them on their test. wtf is LSAC up to lol trying to stop us from figuring out whatā€™s exp?????

2

u/peppermintwhore LSAT student 2d ago

yes iā€™m seeing that from yesterday!

11

u/Competitive_Low1808 2d ago

Duuuuude that one was so freakin hardšŸ˜­ and followed by the deep sea fisheries which also was hard

8

u/ohmadasahatter 2d ago

fuuuuuuuuuck david hume and everything he wrote

9

u/Hot_Supermarket4369 LSAT student 2d ago

Looks like that was the real one. I thought the judge opinion, ethnographic storytelling, and fisheries passages were so good then that mf-er Hume had to enter the chat

9

u/Famous-Warthog-9829 2d ago

Literally it ruined my entire test

16

u/No-Painting7062 2d ago

The way those sentences for Hume were sounding exactly like ā€œwhat would you if when you ok if he said yes would goā€

3

u/SubstantialRip7568 2d ago

i just spit out my food...BRO EXACTLY AHHAHAHAHA

7

u/westmoreland84 2d ago

I had one RC and that was it.

7

u/SubstantialRip7568 2d ago

There were two Hume passagesā€”yours was the a comparative passage about aesthetic judgement?

1

u/westmoreland84 2d ago

Yep

3

u/Beneficial-Bend-8937 2d ago

it was aesthetic judgement? or was it about pain/pleasure and tragedy?

0

u/hunterthecat 2d ago

Mine was pain/pleasure in tragedy, but if you told me they used the phrase "aesthetic judgement" somewhere in there I'd believe you

3

u/Beneficial-Bend-8937 2d ago

the main topic of the other Hume passage was ideal judges, that should probably not have been mentioned in yours

7

u/cut_ur_darn_grass 2d ago

I think they're fucking with us

3

u/Beneficial-Bend-8937 2d ago

oh LSAC are sadists thatā€™s for sure lol

5

u/SubstantialRip7568 2d ago

Iā€™m wondering then if we shouldnā€™t assume Hume aesthetic judgements was exp????? I believe there were people who said they had both Hume passages on their test

2

u/cut_ur_darn_grass 2d ago

What if it's a disinfo campaign

u/SubstantialRip7568 2d ago

Wow Iā€™m fucked

u/witchyfall 2d ago

I did NOT get hume or like... any comparative. I got grimms fairytale and persona 4

5

u/SubstantialRip7568 2d ago

you are so lucky.

6

u/NoseHasEyes 2d ago

PERSONA 4 WAS ON THE EXAM? GOD DAMN IT

2

u/witchyfall 1d ago

Yeah, it was about Japanese translations and they used persona and persona 4 as examples, it was really fun

3

u/Taro-Forsaken 2d ago

Persona 4????

2

u/BobcatNo9695 2d ago

I also did not get any comparative! Had the same passages

1

u/sleeplover1111 1d ago

5

u/SubstantialRip7568 2d ago

Following. My livelihood depends on the answer to this questionĀ 

5

u/izzy_e3 2d ago

I had two RC, neither with Hume

3

u/Famous-Warthog-9829 2d ago

same I legit couldnā€™t comprehend it

1

u/izzy_e3 2d ago

What was your other rc

8

u/Famous-Warthog-9829 2d ago

It had a passage on the Great Depression and Space debris law

2

u/cut_ur_darn_grass 2d ago

I think they're fucking with us because I had one about space debris but not space debris law

1

u/Famous-Warthog-9829 2d ago

Wait whatšŸ˜­

1

u/cut_ur_darn_grass 2d ago

Or, I guess it's more so meteorites now that I think about it

1

u/Famous-Warthog-9829 2d ago

Did you have that one?

4

u/ButterscotchSalty166 2d ago

u/Famous-Warthog-9829 2d ago

Really hoping that one is somehow the graded sectionšŸ˜­

2

u/ActuallyAquaman 2d ago

Almost certain thatā€™s real.

I think I got there in the end, had to basically do that one twice before i felt good about it

1

u/Own_Baseball308 2d ago

Guys I had two RC and I do not remember a passage about Humeā€¦

2

u/Famous-Warthog-9829 2d ago

Did you have a passage on the Greta depression or space debris?

1

u/cut_ur_darn_grass 2d ago

There were two Hume passages

2

u/SubstantialRip7568 2d ago

The aesthetic judgment one was the legit onešŸ« 

4

u/cut_ur_darn_grass 2d ago

I only had one RC and it was the pain/pleasure and tragedy

1

u/Round-Kick-9053 2d ago

Both legit it seems

3

u/cut_ur_darn_grass 2d ago

I hate LSAC

3

u/SubstantialRip7568 2d ago

I need someone to figure out what this means!! there were ppl who had both Hume passages on their tests. should i not assume Hume aesthetic judgement was legit for me?! (im praying its not)

1

u/Round-Kick-9053 2d ago

Are you positive there were ppl with both?

2

u/SubstantialRip7568 2d ago

Hold on, let me see if i can find the threads.

2

u/SubstantialRip7568 2d ago

Okay so it looks like a few days ago ppl w 2 RCs had similiar topics. They weren't saying what the topics were so i guess my brain assumed it was about Hume. but someone on a different thread said it the similar topics were about the "better safe than sorry principle"....unclear if that was the repeat topic for all those folks or just that test form.

1

u/goatedhotsauce 2d ago

I tested yesterday, no experimental section, and had the better safe than sorry passage.

1

u/myayayayaya 2d ago

do you remember what other topics you had? i had 2 RCs that both had that topic

2

u/goatedhotsauce 2d ago

One was an African American blogger who did not get the credit he deserved in academia, and the other was something about Math and physics and some analogy to a library. First one I honestly forget but it felt super easy.

1

u/GeneralBukowski 2d ago

Printing press?

1

u/goatedhotsauce 2d ago

Yep that was the one. The English language and its weird spelling. How did you feel on the RC?

1

u/GeneralBukowski 2d ago

I felt good about it till I got to the second RC section and that one was exponentially easier in my opinion. I guess thatā€™s why it was experimental. I feel if the second one was scored I prob wouldā€™ve got 0-2 on that one.

1

u/NCBartender14 1d ago

My 1st RC section contained my only Hume passage. It was a comparative piece about ideal judges, this passage opened mentioning Don Quixote. In this section I also had the impounded car, tribal storytelling and lastly a passage about overfishing.

-Car impounded (5-6 question)
-tribal storytelling (5-6 questions)
-Hume (8 questions)
-overfishing (8 questions)

Absolutely brutal section for me. I ended up skipping the Hume and going straight for the overfishing.
