“…A 166 and 170 at best.” Those are great LSAT scores. No unhappy faces should ever accompany a 166-170.

Wow, glad I’m not the only one who hated the sculpting passage. That one was rough. I know I got at least -2 on that passage alone. I can’t judge the RC passage, but if I had to guess I’d say -5/-6 overall.

The LG with the classes was by far the toughest game with the wrinkle thrown in regarding the Statistics class, but still, not insanely difficult. I’d say -1/-2

LR was a pain in the ass and I know I went at least -5/-6 on this section.

All in all, if my worst predictions prove to be true I could be looking at a 166 and 170 at best.

I think the exam was pretty fair. I thought the games were easy in both sections. I really enjoyed all the passages in the RC section and the LR were okay. My guess for my score would be anything above 170.

JT- Hate to put myself out there too far on a limb with a score prediction, but I’d guess 174 +/- 2. Don’t feel as confident as I had with my recent practice exams, so I guess we’ll wait and see.

I thought the In and Out game with the confusing statstics variable certianly made it the hardest of the bunch, and the bullshit Japanese scuplture passage was the hardest I’ve seen in a while. Apart from those, I have to say the rest of the LG and RC sections weren’t terrible.

How do the rest of you feel?

I thought the RC was easier than Sept. 09s.

So do you think that Matt’s curve predictions are pretty accurate?

I thought the RC was a killer.

Logic Games (aka…the section that never gives me problems), and specifically game 3 (in and out with the timing twist), was a MAJOR bitch and single-handedly caused me to cancel my score.

I think LR was much easier than recent PTs. The only weird question was about breakfast bagels and doughnuts. It wasn’t difficult to get the right answer once you read all the answer choices twice, but was supper weird at first. It did seem like overall there were a lot of flaw questions.

RC was so-so. Hated the sculpting passage. LOVED the Ultimatum Game passage. Although that’s probably because I took Game Theory last semester. So it was a very easy final read.

Good luck to all. I’ll be taking it again in February.

Ps. I hate taking Statistics at 9am.
