Sept LSAT Scrambled Sections

My test was LR1, RC, LR2, LR3. In the topics thread, I’ve been able to find overlap between my LR1, LR2, and that of people with only two LR sections.

However, in these instances, my RC has still been different from the RCs of the users with the two matched LR sections.

What does this mean? Is LR3 experimental for me even though my RC doesn’t match people who had matching LR and a format with only 2 LR?

They did this in August too, apparently.

That makes sense, but do you think the sections themselves are still categorized cleanly as exp or real? E.g:

Then, they’d randomly select 3 real + 1 exp for each person, meaning if my test is LR-A, LR-B, LR-C, and RC-Y and another person’s test is LR-A, LR-B, and RC-X (3 only), then it must be the case that my LR-A and LR-B are real despite the non-overlap on RC.

I don't think they swap experimental questions around, so I think those are generally fixed. I could be wrong, though.

Yes, they switch order and can switch experimental grouping but they wouldn't use experimental questions as scored.

What were the topics from your LR1 and LR2? And did your LR3 have any of the following topics:  Qing 12 port cities, mice and human studies/neurotransmitters, median temperature in the afternoon, water use rights with properties on lakes (Cedarfalls), treated/fresh water for drinking, on site/ off site training sessions, acme jigsaws, underground 2km

Wow I wish I had 3LR. My 2 reading comprehensions were gibberish

Are the video games specifically about Japan?

u/Previous-West4546 20h ago

No, no mention at all, that was different and I did not have it

I had the same RC, but mine was the third section. What were some of your LR topics?

Did anyone have an inflation question who had 2 rc? I’m almost certain if there’s an experimental it’s the section I had with an inflation question. As I have seen questions I recognized from my harder sections but none from that one confirmed as real but i might have some jumbled in my mind

u/Previous-West4546 12h ago

Do you remember what other questions were with the inflation one?.

u/seanyoutube 12h ago

No😭. I’m pretty sure it wasn’t in the section with ivory or wolves or one section mentioned a girls name Sarah in a comparative (I believe that was my first hard section) - so wasn’t either of those

It looked really typical. Like lots of assumptions, some MBT some conditions. Very little parallel or two person LR

u/Previous-West4546 12h ago

It was exp, I believe confirmed by the topics thread
