So, all the discussion from Saturday's LSAT doesn't sound familiar, does it? i.e. you took a totally different test?

Yup. We took it on Sunday morning (Sat night back in the States). Think how unfair of advantage we'd have if we took the same test 15 or so hours later.

Exactly. I was nervous all the discussion I took part in (not on TLS) was giving my competitors a one-up on school acceptances! ;)

Shit, if it were the case, many people would rather spend that $1,000 on going to Asia for the LSAT than spend the money on a prep course.

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. -___-



I took mine in HK and had a similar experience (excluding the pencil grip). LG has been my strongest section but the last game I bombed! Once it was over I finally realized how to diagram it and I assume it would have been a relatively easy game, once properly diagrammed but the verbiage just threw me off. First LR (26) I thought it was decent. First two questions I was a bit slow but I attributed that to getting started.

Yeah, I guess the desk/chair situation could have been worse. For some reason I just found it really annoying. No volume from the pipes in my room, but there was some construction going on outside in the afternoon - not really noticeable until you opened the windows.

What did everyone think of the RC? To me overall the difficulty seemed pretty average compared to recent RCs, but there were a couple of questions I thought were really subjective. Any thoughts?

Sounds like the Asia test was the same as the US Sabbath-Observer test (same topics on my RC and LG).

Really? The U.S. Sabbath test is on Monday morning U.S. time, right? ... calculating by EST this means you guys took the exact same test maybe 36 hours or so after we took ours ...

That can't be fair, I'm sure some people who took that test could have had friends who took the same test in Asia and were willing to discuss the questions with them.....


I certainly didn't, but that does sound like a possibility for some. Though I doubt most people would think that LSAC would use the same test 36 hours apart... I'm pretty surprised!

i bombed the LR 26 section.

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?


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

What did you think about the proctors? I was slightly distracted having them roam up and down the aisles

yes! i finally found the forum for the test i took!! I took it in Beijing. I thought the Games (electronics stores, birds, apartments...) weren't that bad.. and i am terrible at games! I thought the first LG sections (hopefully/assumably the experimental section) was pretty difficult.. as was the first LR section. that seemed wildly brutal to me, but maybe i was just antsy to take a break.

goodluck everyone!

I also had the LR RC LR LR LG test.

And to be sure we're all on the same page, the RC on the test everyone took talked about daguerreotypes, right?

I got 5 D's in a row on the 3rd LR section. Anyone else get something weird like that?

Yes on RC.

I don't remember the answer pattern at all at this point... Although I am obsessing over individual questions that I weren't worried about right after the test but now somehow they're coming to me in my sleep. Not fun.

Yeah, I feel your pain. This 30-day wait is painful; it leaves too much time to sit and dwell and overanalyze.

I feel okay about everything, except I was really perplexed by that 4th section (3rd LR)... I felt LR fatigue, but I completed the entire section well within the time. And I had time to double check my 5 consecutive Ds, and I felt okay about them. But the more I think about it, the worse I feel.

January 4 can't come soon enough.

Yup,

I took the US Sabbath test, and I had the ones with colored pencils and the bizzare student housing one. Someone PLEASE release our scores.... ?

Soooo....... how did everyone do?

I feel like our curve must've been really tough. Any thoughts?

I did OK. I scored a 171. This is the lowest score I told myself I'd be "content" with. So I'm trying to be content, but it's significantly lower than my PT average. In true grass-is-always-greener style I wish I'd written that -14 curved North American test.

174 here. I'm guessing our curve was north of -14 huh?

Is anyone else considering a hand rescore? While I'm not complaining about my score, I did change several answers and am totally paranoid that my crappy eraser cost me a couple of points. Although everything I can find online suggests that the scantron machine is pretty reliable and that hand rescoring is usually a waste of money.

Oh to have taken a regular disclosed test.

Yep I'm considering a hand rescore as well, since I changed like a gazillion answers.

My score is also significantly lower than my PT average... so I'm sorta pissed off. I really wish we could know exactly what we got wrong....ugh.

I took the sabbath test and I was feeling really certain of a 170 and ended up with a 167. I have been very consistent with PTs, and I actually got through just about everything this test. I was really shocked.

I am also thinking about a handscore. There is no way that 170 was -14 on my test. I am thinking -11 or worse.

I envy those who took the disclosed test and can see their mistakes and had the -14 curve. :(. On the other hand I thought that my test felt easy, and I was guessing there would be a hard curve...

177. probably missed 3 or 4 and compared to U.S. test, i think curve was standard. do you know if we can at least find out what sections we missed questions in?
