I wouldnt get your hopes up for it, 100 questions is a lot more common than 99.

Assuming that all of us in Asia got the same test, I think this is all the proof we can get. Everyone had a game with colored pencils and an RC with eyeballs, yes?

I took the lsat in asia as well (seoul), and had neither colored pencils nor eyeballs anywhere on my test :shock: ...

Mine was LR RC LR LR LG as well so either the first section or third was the experimental, I think the number of problems was also exactly the same as the first post but not completely sure. I'm desperately hoping the first section was the experimental because I struggled a lot with it but since that would mean 99 questions... not holding my breath

Bikeflip where'd you take yours?? Maybe it's possible they gave different tests to different parts of asia??

Seoul as well. Duksong Uni. Had the same set up LSAT wise as you. Very strange.

Are you guys in Seoul teaching English?

I received a job offer to teach for CD Learning (hopefully in Seoul) beginning in February. If you guys are teachers, I'd be curious to get a little info. At any rate, how do you like Korea?

The 3rd section was your experimental. The real ones were 26/25. Sorry

That is really really strange.. I took it at Duksung Uni as well. I had birds and campus housing in the games and a language & civilization in my RC... have they ever given different tests to the same test center before?

Massimiliano, I don't think I can help you a lot since I'm Korean and currently going to university here, so I don't really have any info on teaching here as a foreigner. If you have any questions though, please feel free to ask!


Ah, it's the same test then! We just remembered different parts. So, I guess we can confidently conclude that the LRs were 25 and 26 and section 3 on the test (LR 25) was the experimental?

Massimiliano, I'm doing ESL teaching over here. PM me if you like. Also, checkout http://www.eslcafe.com, but beware that a ton of that info is super doom and gloom.

Yes, we can conclude that with certainty. 100 questions. I took it as well.

You can't take it in Asia for the February date. Only June, Sept, and Dec. But the site is in Bangkok at the International School of Bangkok. Its a nice area, I took it there in Sept.

Yeah I had the same setup. LR, RC, LR, LR, LG. I'm fairly confident the second LR was my experimental. Although, before the break I was pretty sure the RC was experimental because of some weird tense shifts in the first passage that made me think it was experimental (the language/history passage).

I'm wondering if anyone knows about scores. Do we get our scores back at the same time domestic takers do? Furthermore, does anyone know anything about the curve overseas? I assume they curve the test along with all the others who took the same test. About half of the takers at my center were native Chinese speakers, and I suspect this ratio of ESL to native language speakers is fairly consistent throughout Asia. I can't help but think that when there are so many ESL takers it might influence the curve, no?

Coming out of that test I've no idea how well I did. I'm aiming for 175, but I really have NO idea how well I did.

All I'm expecting back from this test is just the score. No info about the curve. No answer sheet. No thing. As such, I'm not gonna think about the curve, though I do expect it to be tighter.

RC got eyeballs, interpreter in the courtroon
LG faculty/student flat (last game), second game was an in/out one

About the curve, I've seen in another post on this forum that for the overseas LSATs lsac probably takes unreleased U.S. february lsats from a few years ago and reuses them. So that means that the curve has been mostly pre-determined by them, and we'll be judged based on where our raw score stands among the people who took it in the U.S. the first time around.

However, this is just something I've seen posted somewhere around here, and I have no substantial evidence for it whatsoever so I have no idea if it's true or not...


That unfortunately makes a lot of sense. I was hoping to get a "native speaker boost."

I don't think this board will ever reach agreement on whether the curve is pre-set or determined...

test wasn't bad at all. 1st LR section was pretty hard, but it wasn't a deal-breaker.... i think i might have actually gotten more wrong in the LG section by itself than the rest of test.... i BOMBED it... last game was just undiagrammable, and i think i might have screwed up 1st game a little too... my life is over (shoots self in head).

I was so shocked over the 5th section, i actually just held onto my pencil even after the "pencils down" warning. I didn't do anything with it. I just froze with a distraught look. Proctor came and gently put my pencil down for me. -___-

it was actually the opposite for me, I breezed through my last section LG with time left over to double-check my answers, however games has always been my strong point. third and fourth LR were okay for me as well, but the first one... ugh... I don't remember any specific questions, just a general feeling afterwards of "god I hope that was the experimental", so I really really don't know if I should cancel or not...

poor you, at least the proctor didn't give you a misconduct warning or anything, the proctor must've sensed your panic....



was I the only one who found the attached seats really annoying and uncomfortable?


Canceling: Blueprint has a good method for weighing whether or not to cancel. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7R1eiHpBJ3A

The last time I took the LSAT, I got a tiny theater style desk, so I didn't mind the attached seat bothersome.
