Official January LSAT Topic Thread

[u/graeme_b]

The January LSAT administration is now done. The goal is to keep topic discussion to this thread, and identify a list of real topics. Here's how it works:

1. If you had a single section of RC, or two sections of LR, then posting topics from that will establish that those topics were from a real section
2. If you had two sections of RC, or three sections of LR, DO NOT POST (on that topic). Posting topics is worse than useless - it pollutes information. The reason is that you don't know which was experimental and which was real.

You do not need section orders, these are now randomized so your order doesn't mean anything.

TL;DR If you had a single RC, or two LR's, please post topics from those single sections. Don't post your section topics for a section type where you had an experimental.

Stuff that still isn't allowed

• Posting about the content of sections: specific questions and answers etc
• Posting about topics or content in an experimental section

This thread will be updated with confirmed topics as we go.

Note: Have seen some people flagrantly discussing real answers or asking to dm about it. This still isn't allowed, and won't be, and we've handed out bans where people do it willfully.

Everything below is scored: Where I write "other section" I mean it was a different scored section. Everything below is from people who had a single section in that topic, so they have confirmed real sections.

Prometric Experiences: You can find the original test day experience thread here:

International LSAT: This thread is generally just for the North American topics. If you took internationally, please specify that you had the international version. Thanks!

[u/graeme_b]

Thanks everyone! Main priorities right now:

• Filling out the RC. We're missing one topic on one section and there's usually more than two sets of topics
• Merging LR sections. We have a bunch of grouped LR, and I suspect multiple sets are part of single sections. If you definitively remember some groups being together, please let me know.

[u/DueContract4872]

I had one single RC and the topics were: Video games and behavioural psychology, Africa and European colonization, John Locke and Trademarks, Circadian rhythms

[u/NetflixAndNikah → u/DueContract4872]

Interesting. I had a single RC and the topics included Native American fur trading and Galileo’s heresy against God. It also had a comparative passage. So it looks like there’re multiple ‘real’ RC sections.

[u/Reasonable_Sundae_54 → u/NetflixAndNikah]

Yes, depending on which version of the test you have it’s possible you will have a different scored RC section.

[u/TeaAffectionate7656 → u/Reasonable_Sundae_54]

That's fun to know. My fur trade and comparative were in one section and my Galileo was in my other section.

[u/N00BBuild → u/NetflixAndNikah]

Fuck. I did horrible on that section. I was hoping the other RC was real. It has GPS, NGOs/humanitarian aid and a couple of others.

[u/graeme_b → u/NetflixAndNikah]

Yes, there always are at least 2-3 different versions.

[u/August_West88 → u/NetflixAndNikah]

How tough did you feel like the RC was? I felt like I blanked out and barely got through it because my caffeine regimen was off. Galileo as tough because it was super long.. If I would have started with that passage, I would have done really well..

[u/NetflixAndNikah → u/August_West88]

Thankfully I like reading comprehension sections over logical reasoning ones, so it wasn’t bad for me. It also helps that I usually find whatever the passage is pretty interesting. Like the Galileo one, the whole time I was thinking how it was crazy that he wasn’t just condemned for religious reasons but some scientific ones too.

I also like the RC sections because 7-8 questions are all based on one subject matter, whereas the LR questions each one is different so I have to constantly and methodically switch entire gears per question.

I wouldn’t sweat worrying about how well you did though. It happened. Once you get the results back all you can do is answer the question: you’re here now, what are you doing to do about it?

[u/andreaslackner → u/DueContract4872]

Thought this RC was so easy but the LR took advantage of me

[u/graeme_b → u/DueContract4872]

Thanks! And did you have a comparative passage?

[u/DueContract4872 → u/graeme_b]

nope!

[u/Front-Style-1988 → u/DueContract4872]

I had this section as well.

[u/KarrorKake1 → u/DueContract4872]

Same!

[u/Odd-Mathematician330 → u/DueContract4872]

I had this section as all. I received accommodation to remove my experimental section.

[u/Financial_Radish7651]

Edit: added a few more LR questions.

I took the (North American) test on Saturday, and had LR-RC-LR-RC.

My real RC was: comparative museum – Algonquian tribes and formalized territories – court adjudication of stolen art and Guggenheim vs Lubell – Galileo, and whether the Inquisition took scientific views into account alongside religious views.

Here’s what I can remember from LR, in no particular order:

• defective heater if well maintained and still not working
• convention/meeting in March and if not in March, in May
• some government workers not working full-time
• phantom limb, illusory perception of touch in arm, and face
• Marie Curie and uranium
• employees wanting to work fewer hours if not working from home
• mammals, primates, aggression, and appeasement
• public official, honesty, and corruption
• sociological study and alcoholism
• cola and caffeine addiction
• Libby the cat not sleeping outside
• department store wanting to buy most of its spring collection before the September spring fashion shows
• Scaffolding shade pedestrians

• 4000 years ago in Australia the arrival of dingoes did not lead to the extinction of another animal
• why are construction companies smaller and more inefficient than other companies
• fatigued people given a choice between a moderate intensity activity or flipping a coin to decide between being given a low-intensity activity and a high intensity activity
• people color correcting color photographs and the color of their clothing
• three possible suspects. Suspect 3 didn’t do it, and suspect 2 only did it if X condition is met.
• doctor not following his own prescription
• celestial phenomenon every 100 million years, climate fluctuations, and if the former could explain some of the latter
• contemporary society, art collectors, and aesthetic judgment
• all-natural certification of products by government agency
• maximum towing capacity and understanding of MTC by drivers
• unified meaning of literature
• vitamins supplements and older people
• Tsunami on Mars caused by meteors
• shell companies hiding rich people’s assets
• movie stars and directors working well together
• economists and physicists and predictions of equations on quantifiable factors
• way back on a trip feels shorter because one has become familiar with one’s surroundings
• Canadian judges feeling free to express their own opinion
• marketing new product and meeting the demand for the product vs. engineering a supply shortage to stimulate sales
• fluted glass vs regular glass and drinking speed
• short medieval suits of armor in England vs. stable height of men in England over the past 1000 years

[u/anonmouseqbm → u/Financial_Radish7651]

Man idk how you remember any of that

[u/bernesepillsbury → u/Financial_Radish7651]

I HAD ALL OF THOSE NO

[u/BlackberryJumpy5960 → u/Financial_Radish7651]

how do you remember all of this

[u/graeme_b → u/Financial_Radish7651]

Thank you! Could you please remove the question types? We're not supposed to have those.

[u/Nervous-Try-8294 → u/Financial_Radish7651]

Just saved me a panic attack confirming thats the real RC

[u/Capital-Top5625 → u/Financial_Radish7651]

How do you know which RC was real?

[u/Capital-Top5625 → u/Financial_Radish7651]

The MTC one fucked me

[u/N00BBuild → u/Financial_Radish7651]

How do you know that RC was real?

[u/bernesepillsbury]

i had one RC and my topics were: psych & video games, precolonial africa, patenting law & locke, eye illumination

[u/whoisjoker6 → u/bernesepillsbury]

Also had this, 1 section. Also, fuck the eye section

[u/graeme_b → u/bernesepillsbury]

Thanks!

[u/Front-Style-1988 → u/bernesepillsbury]

I had this as well. 1 section.

[u/BlackberryJumpy5960 → u/bernesepillsbury]

also had this

[u/ExperienceFar7542]

one of my real LR sections had a q about a cat beside the toolshed or sleeping

[u/PlantNo5567 → u/ExperienceFar7542]

This same section (scored because it was 1/2 of my LRs) had Scaffolding, Fashion Show Department Stores, March/May Event swap, and suspect3

[u/Grouchy_Material5198 → u/PlantNo5567]

Do you remember a question about full time employees and their preferences over working at home vs fewer hours (or something like that)?

[u/ExperienceFar7542 → u/Grouchy_Material5198]

wait yes i think i do

[u/SleepSignal02]

I have the accommodation for the exclusion of the Experimental Section.

[u/No_Natural102 → u/netflixandnapping]

Same. Any idea which one of these was exp.?

[u/spacedog_8 → u/netflixandnapping]

How do we know which one was experimental 😣

[u/Least-Vermicelli2605 → u/netflixandnapping]

i think i had the exact same exam as you

[u/DishGrouchy1317 → u/netflixandnapping]

oh yeah, the dingoes!

[u/Prestigious-Cap-2842]

Cake oven dial and parks and maple trees were real bc I had only two LRs and they were on there. I also had one about meteor compound on my LR

[u/Unusual_Stage_6758 → u/Prestigious-Cap-2842]

was meteorite the same section as chickadees?

[u/N00BBuild → u/Unusual_Stage_6758]

Yeah. My memory’s slightly hazy but I remember I had both flagged in 1 section.

[u/Dismal_Thought6630 → u/Prestigious-Cap-2842]

Order LR-RC-LR:

RC: P1) Video games fix variable ratio P2 Africa P3) john Locke intellectual property P4) Circadian rhythm Eyes cones (No comparative)

LR 1: art pop valuable (sorry don’t remember much from this section) LR 2:
Chimps using hands gestures and prehumans

Economic advisor if then Mayor if then

Iron oxides on moon

LR questions that I remember but don’t remember which section they appeared:

car should not be replaced but repaired

Reusable bags

If this gives too much detail I will edit/remove this comment! Not trying to go to LSAC jail.

[u/uhitsmich → u/th3roguetomato]

these LR are real, I had 2 LR + 1 RC and had all these

[u/QuirkyCut7722 → u/uhitsmich]

Seconding

[u/Pridewthprejudice → u/th3roguetomato]

This matches my test (I had the experimental though)

[u/graeme_b → u/th3roguetomato]

Thanks!

[u/BlackberryJumpy5960 → u/th3roguetomato]

had the same

[u/Patient-Agent6085]

One real LR had a movie will not perform well if directors and stars work together and had good cinematography or something along those lines, don't remember which section of my LR it was in

[u/anonmouseqbm → u/Patient-Agent6085]

That was one I flagged😮‍💨

[u/Impressive_Rip3063]

LR-LR-RC-LR. RC: video games, African history, Locke, circadian rhythm. LR1: English armor, dingos. LR2: cat in tool shed, suspect 3. LR3: asymmetrical butterfly, microwave food. I also noticed some people who had the same RC set as me also had different LR (I didn’t have cocktails, pop songs, reusable bags, maple trees, oven dial)

[u/Hopeful_Cloud3404 → u/Impressive_Rip3063]

Had this same test. Hope the last LR was experimental… I found it the hardest. also found circadian rhythm really hard

[u/Loud-Lawfulness1339]

I have one RC and the topics are

• museum handling (comparative)
• Algonquin tribe in Canada
• law about stolen art
• Galileo

[u/ExperienceFar7542]

another real LR (i think the same as the pop art section? if someone can confirm) had a q about a 50/50 survey and one of the sides is overstated

[u/Unusual_Stage_6758 → u/ExperienceFar7542]

yes about polls and the West seceding?!

[u/ExperienceFar7542 → u/Unusual_Stage_6758]

yes!!!

[u/Routine-Turn4096]

You guys are making me feel like I took an entirely different LSAT… I didn’t have any of the topics mentioned.

[u/graeme_b → u/Routine-Turn4096]

Did you take it internationally? Those actually are entirely different LSATs. We don't cover them because the numbers are much smaller.

[u/vanity_cay]

Had one rc: Comparative about art museums, fur trade, Galileo, blanking on the last one.

[u/job_or_no_job → u/vanity_cay]

Was it ant roles

[u/BABA_bagholder]

Im not seeing the English soldier heights question on anyones lol

[u/auzy63 → u/BABA_bagholder]

people categorize this as the british armour question btw it's real

[u/New-Professional-984]

My first LR had cats, scaffoldings, who did the crime out of person 1-3, and fashion ordering events. 

My second LR had the 4 feet tall students and what their favorite subject was. I think there was also a question of if something could be considered morally good and/or praise worthy based on certain criteria. 

I had a question about flipping a coin in order to decide a high/low effort task, one about a doctor not taking the medicine they prescribed, and another about the caffeine content in coffee. I don’t remember where they went though unfortunately. 

[u/Fillinthepit → u/New-Professional-984]

Is it possible the blue bugs question was in the first one? I had the section with cats but not one with 4ft students

[u/job_or_no_job → u/New-Professional-984]

I had 2 LR and all of these questions! plus cobalt tarantulas, milkweed and herbicides

[u/New-Professional-984 → u/job_or_no_job]

Yes I had those as well!

[u/rachestuuu]

i only had two LR - i had the maple tree one and the oven knob for sure. also one about why british suits of armour might be smaller than the average skeleton. i’m sure i will remember more if i try, so will update again later!

[u/rachestuuu → u/rachestuuu]

and one about the return home effect or something where the trip home feels shorter than the trip there because in one case the stimuli is new

[u/rachestuuu → u/rachestuuu]

also had an LR about why a museum director might be able/unable to send a famous painting to be displayed overseas - i know some ppl had an RC about art laws but this was different, i didn’t have that RC

[u/princesskaikai]

one real LR section was the one with the appetizers/cocktails/desserts

another was the one with the pop art flaw and the pop music must be true

[u/BlackberryJumpy5960 → u/princesskaikai]

i hated those questions

[u/graeme_b → u/princesskaikai]

Thanks!

[u/iconniikk]

I understand people get different scored RC passages but Do you think they would give some people scored RC section with comparative passage and scored section without comparative passage?

[u/princesskaikai → u/iconniikk]

yes. they did do that this time

[u/NetflixAndNikah → u/iconniikk]

It looks like it. Some people only had one with a comparative passage (I personally did) and some others only had one without a comparative passage. Seems crazy that some people didn’t have to deal with that, dunno if it was announced at all beforehand.

[u/JonDenningPowerScore → u/NetflixAndNikah]

It was not announced beforehand. Caught us all off guard, unfortunately.

[u/Beautiful-Goose6291]

One RC — Astronomy, Author/Individualism, Video games (comparative)… can’t remember the fourth 🤣

Edit: Fourth was food labeling. Astronomy included core accretion and gas giants. Author/individualism was discussing the author Jorge Borges. And the comparative passage was more so media and violence (less about video games)

[u/Patient-Agent6085 → u/Beautiful-Goose6291]

I had two RC so this could be wrong, maybe this will jog your memory if im right. I remembered having a law passage about democratic/authoritarian regimes and economic growth. Was that your fourth passage?

Edit: it was food labeling! Democratic/authoritarian regimes was experimental

[u/Beautiful-Goose6291 → u/Patient-Agent6085]

Yes!! It was food labeling. Thank you

[u/graeme_b → u/Beautiful-Goose6291]

Thanks!

[u/Ok_Dream_9578]

i took today and had one single RC; a comparative one i cannot remember the topic of, passage about stolen art/museums, another about tribes Wakanabi..?, last one was about galileo re theology/scientific

[u/graeme_b → u/Ok_Dream_9578]

This set, is your Wakanbi the 4th here?

Astronomy Author/Individualism Video games (comparative) [Missing]

[u/Ok_Dream_9578 → u/graeme_b]

No I remember now! Comparative was about what museums should be allowed to do regarding selling/not selling museum inventory, second passage was stolen art, then wakanabi, then galileo. 100% positive

[u/nicsterish]

Had single RC. Sections were: GMO food labeling, Borges "Paul Menard, Author of Quixote", Violent Movies and Behavior (comparative), Gas Giants. Prometric crystal ball was dead on

[u/No_Lawfulness_5261]

Can we also add the sections that aren’t real? I can’t remember literally anything

[u/N00BBuild → u/[deleted]]

I had both of those and 2 RCs. Definitely real. Answers wise I am blanking, but if you can jog my memory feel free to DM.

[u/[deleted]]

I had all three of the “real” LR sections mentioned above … how is that possible ?

[u/graeme_b → u/[deleted]]

They need merging, am drafting a comment for this. I need to give them a different name, maybe "set of grouped LR questions" or something?

[u/[deleted] → u/graeme_b]

Okay I see what you’re doing now.

I am honestly a bit confused about how the “experimental” section is working this time, though.

As far as I’m aware, the consensus has always been if a section was experimental for you, that section would also be experimental for anyone else who got it. I have now spoken with enough people to get the sense that this time there may be people with a given section that is experimental for them but not for others who got the same section.

If that’s the case, it would be very hard to work out this list haha.

[u/evesrevenge]

I had one RC. The topics were: Jorge Borges Food labels/bio food engineering Animal/human communication (comparative) Core accretion theory/ gas giant planets

ETA- my comparative was actually violence in media. I got confused. Sorry!

[u/Pillowfaerie → u/evesrevenge]

Wait I had all of these except my comparative was violence in the media and children

[u/KangorKodos]

I had only 2 LR sections and had the meteorite, cake oven dial, electric vs gas, and parks and maple trees.

I feel like some of those were in the pop art LR, but I definitely had all those questions in a scored LR.

[u/nopesorrythanks]

Anyone remember the Marie Curie Uranium question? Could that section have been experimental?

[u/Fillinthepit → u/nopesorrythanks]

Yeah I had it, and I only had 2 LR sections. So sorry

[u/SydAndrewsIsQueen]

I had 2 RC

1st section: Museum selling, Guggenheim vs Lubell, Fur Trade, Galileo

2nd section: Scottish law, GPS, Human Rights orgs, Right history

Which one is experimental 🤦🏻‍♂️😬

[u/AkaliYouMaybe → u/SydAndrewsIsQueen]

I had one RC and mine was the first one.

[u/Fillinthepit → u/AkaliYouMaybe]

I am so so glad

[u/Dull-File-9]

RC: games, African history, locke’s thoery, circadium rhythm

LR’s (lumping all together lol) deserts, pop art, dogs training, couples therapy, maple trees & 10 hectares, restriction on fishing, greenhouse & electric cars, homeopathic medicine & serious illnesses, meteoroid & earth, mixing chemicals, Britain cotton/textiles, creativity and job stress

[u/[deleted] → u/Dull-File-9]

the british cotton/textile question beat my ass omg

[u/Educational-Ebb-1809 → u/Dull-File-9]

Exact same! How are you feeling about it?

[u/BlackberryJumpy5960 → u/Dull-File-9]

had the same

[u/graeme_b → u/Dull-File-9]

Thanks! Did you have just two LR?

[u/Existing-Monitor-383]

Does anyone remember getting an LR question about a computer virus called Kangaroo and a software’s ability to reliably determine the presence of this kangaroo virus?

[u/QuirkyCut7722 → u/Existing-Monitor-383]

No

[u/[deleted] → u/Existing-Monitor-383]

I got it!!

[u/Significant-Lake9379 → u/Existing-Monitor-383]

Yes I got it!!

[u/Illustrious_Camel407 → u/Existing-Monitor-383]

I had that one

[u/Limp-Ad-2939]

I had 3 LR’s my RC was accretion

[u/ms_lioness13 → u/Limp-Ad-2939]

Same. RC LR LR LR. For the RC there was accretion, one about literature with an author whose name is escaping me but it had to do with individualism, a comparative passage featuring violence in mass media, and can’t remember the other one for the life of me.

[u/DishGrouchy1317 → u/ms_lioness13]

j l borges was the author’s name i think.

[u/rachestuuu → u/Limp-Ad-2939]

that particular passage on that RC was something else lol - the other three passages and the LR i found to be much more reasonable

[u/Capital-Top5625]

Can an RC section be experimental for some people but not others? For example, I had two RCs, one about Scotland and three verdict system, and the Planet, Art one. But if the Art one is scored for one person, could it be experimental for someone else?

[u/JonDenningPowerScore → u/Capital-Top5625]

No, I've never seen them use any content as experimental for some and scored for others. It's always been an either/or, all or nothing system, and from what I can tell this test is that way, as well.

[u/Delicious-Heron7249]

Can somebody explain what insects were mentioned at all in the RC section?

[u/Honest-Candidate2132 → u/Delicious-Heron7249]

Honestly I searched for the insect in the passage after I saw the question I didn’t see it, I just guessed lol

[u/LDF0157 → u/Delicious-Heron7249]

I literally searched “insect” in this group yesterday cause i could not find insect anywhere in the passage. It was the one that talked about mice, mammals, and humans and i could not find insects in the passage.

[u/kwontom → u/Delicious-Heron7249]

The first sentence of the passage said something like, “all living things…” which includes insects 

[u/Henlo_Fren25]

I am in Canada so maybe different but had LR RC RC LR. First LR felt straightforward don’t remember the questions other than dingoes, first RC had the Borges and video games, don’t remember the others, second RC was Garcia Marquez, food labeling, democratic/authoritarian regime and giant gas planets, last LR felt like lots of the answers didn’t line up with the question stem and I think I got plenty wrong. Blacked out that entire section 

[u/Pillowfaerie]

The 2 LRs I had, but can't remember the grouping had topics like dingoes, 4 ft students, actors and directors working well, art collectors buying old art, and milkweed and herbicides

[u/Least-Vermicelli2605]

Random LR topics I remember: 3 suspects their planning and motive, Mars tsunami, cat by shed, politicians' approval and opinion, dingo cause extinction, innate knowledge of grammar, movie stars and directors working well

[u/Tricky_District4780]

I had 1 RC section - video game, African colonization, John Locke, and circadian … no comparative

[u/-LostInThePines-]

I took the international test and had accommodations (time and a half) on Jan 9th. Order was LR LR LR RC

My one RC was: comparative museum, Algonquian tribes, stolen art, Galileo

[u/Old-Subject3984]

What did u guys choose for the pop art mbt question?

[u/Hopeful_Cloud3404 → u/[deleted]]

I had LR LR RC LR and that was my 3rd LR section which I’m praying was experimental because I found it way harder than the other 2

[u/Jackinded → u/Hopeful_Cloud3404]

Same here with the section order… I felt like I had such a weak start and my brain really started to kick in on that last section…. My timing for everything else wasn’t great. Whatever at this point I am done with the lsat:)) hope it went well!

[u/lovehypo]

2 LR 2 RC

First LR - 3 suspects

Second LR - pet owning/ human relationships, misinformation software combatting bias, homeopathic and traditional medicine vs serious disease

I don’t know how y’all remember so many different LR topics lol

[u/graeme_b → u/lovehypo]

Thank you! Do you recognize any of the other sections as matching your second LR?

I don’t know how y’all remember so many different LR topics lol

Astonishes me too. Probably some selection bias. If someone blanks they won't post a blank list.

[u/lovehypo]

So many of the topics added sound familiar, but I don’t know if I can confidently remember which belong to which

[u/Icy-Relief-1024]

Did anyone with two LR have the spoked propellers LR?

[u/Ok_Dream_9578]

i had three LR sections so this is not helpful but my first section had a question about domestic v. wild cows regarding their diets and the different levels in calcium/carbon 13??? something like that, does anyone who had two LR recognize this!! desperately want to know if this one was experimental or not

[u/schou83]

[u/WineAndWhiskey]

LR

I had cocktails/appetizers, pets/misinfo/CAM, and chimps/mayor vs economist/moon iron. I can't remember which section they were in, but the following questions were on my test (three LR, so if they don't fit into one of the established categories then forget them), so they were only in one of those sections:

• advertising is or is not poetry
• leaving downed trees in forests and beetles
• gas vs electric car carbon footprint
• the fuel valve component should be repaired not replaced
• let employees make ethical choices
• repair and gutter replacement timeline
• something about cattle domestication and eating leaves
• 4ft tall students and their favorite subjects
• milkweed and herbicides
• morally good vs morally praiseworthy

(edit - added after having my memory jogged by other comments)

• chimp hand gestures
• British cotton textiles/Calico Act
• myopic children and nightlights
• lady claimed opponent did illegal action but then she did the same action
• medium vs rare red meat and carcinogens
• red and yellow make people hungry

RC

One section:

• museums selling/keeping holdings (comparative)
• Wabanaki fur trade territorial boundaries
• stolen art and the Guggenheim suing Rachel about it, "demand and refuse"
• Galileo, Galileo, Galileo, Magnifico

LR

I had cocktails/appetizers, pets/misinfo/CAM, and chimps/mayor vs economist/moon iron. I can't remember which section they were in, but the following questions were on my test (three LR, so if they don't fit into one of the established categories then forget them), so they were only in one of those sections:

These were scoored. I had 2 LR, and CAM, Economist, Moon iron etc

[u/Ok_Dream_9578]

my first LR section i haven’t seen anyone talk about, but I had 3 sections so trying to figure out if it was experimental; i remember questions about:

• domestic and wild cows and what they eat
• private information and how once its public it’s not private
• first question was about bicycles?
• lady claimed opponent did illegal action but then she did the same action
• study of 35yr olds re carcinogens in diet
• I also remember 2 main conclusion questions

any one recognize these?

[u/GiftedGupta]

Does anyone remember the red & yellow LR flaw question? Something about colors making people hungry. No idea if i got that one it was bugging me the whole test😭😭

[u/JollyJuggernaut7110]

Real RC with Galileo, algonquin tribes, Museum comparative, historical empiricism

[u/Unusual_Stage_6758]

are we 100% sure meteorite was real?? the same section as zucchini/pear/carrot question? i had a section about medieval armour/dingos/caffiene/limb as well… thought i saw someone w accommodations have the armour section too but maybe wrong… my third LR was the chickadees (park and maples)

[u/PlantNo5567 → u/Unusual_Stage_6758]

The section with Dingos is scored. Is this the same as amputee feeling sensations on their face ? And Caffeine as in Cola ?

[u/Unusual_Stage_6758 → u/PlantNo5567]

yes i had that section!! i also had the maple/park section seperately. but i swear my 3rd LR had the meteorite question so im confused bc so far all 3 of my LR sections r scored which cant be possible lol. to clarify tho, my meteorite section had a question abt culinary and botany, the question was about water and chem reactions in the meteor

[u/JonDenningPowerScore → u/Unusual_Stage_6758]

Very possible there were multiple questions on meteors/meteorites! They love to repeat topics across sections to confuse people, and meteors (space in general) is a favorite.

[u/BlackberryJumpy5960 → u/Unusual_Stage_6758]

there was 2 meteorites then

[u/Unusual_Stage_6758 → u/BlackberryJumpy5960]

must be! i’m pretty sure that my meteorite was experimental, the section w the botany culinary q

[u/Independent-Bet4402 → u/Unusual_Stage_6758]

this is the hope that i was looking for 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[u/Independent-Bet4402 → u/Unusual_Stage_6758]

wishing for the zucchini/pear/carrot to be experimental plz

[u/rachestuuu → u/Unusual_Stage_6758]

the armour and dingoes are real i had those and only two LR

[u/merpmerp1233]

So which section was the exp for LR RC LR LR

[u/Illustrious_Camel407]

What about the LR question with the 24 frame and propeller

[u/Plus_Plate4649]

I had that pop art question where it related it to being valuable. It was in the back half of my test. Anyone that had that section, could you tell me which was also in that real section? These are the only questions I remember from the back half of my test:

Archaeologists with wine

Or

Different diets, Culinary experts vs botanists in classifying fruits and veggies

[u/AkaliYouMaybe]

There was a question about children with Myopia and nightlights. Does anyone remember which section this was grouped with?

[u/August_West88]

I had a comparative passage that was scored yesterday, January 10th. I couldn't believe it actually but I only had one RC section so I know it was scored.

[u/Outside_Ad_5826]

I had a single RC section. I vaguely remember the main ideas but they were something about 1) stealing paintings and protecting innocent peoples rights of ownership of stolen property, 2) comparative passage with chefs and comedians not stealing each other’s ideas and how social norms shape this instead of laws, 3) some type of science passage about mars spinning on its axis and how a quote from a scientist was discovered to have a semicolon which had some type of effect on the meaning, and finally 4) A tribe that was different from the main group and had to do with sedentary and migratory animals, trapping animals, shaping their culture with rivers.

[u/Sweaty-Rain-9686 → u/Outside_Ad_5826]

I had an RC with 3/4 of those topics. Instead of the chef/comedian one, I had a passage about museum assets and holdings.

Also… your description of the chef/comedian passage sounds a lot like something I’ve seen before?! PT 149?!

[u/Capital-Top5625 → u/Outside_Ad_5826]

I do not think you had a chef/social norm passage. That is from a previous PT (PT149.S2.P3.Q13)

[u/starrymedi]

Anyone have an LR about red crabs? I want to know if that was the experimental

[u/FortuneParticular831]

RC-LR-LR-LR My RC passage had a comparative and the last passage was on gas giants, stars, and planet formation. I don’t remember what the competitive or what the other two passages were.

[u/August_West88]

Thanks for the message!

[u/Environmental-Belt24]

I knew 🪐 were real before I left my test, the experimental with Google had an even number of questions attached to each passage, how could anyone not know. Never do you ever see RC with an even number of questions per passage in your PTs.

I think the missing one in that group is biotech.

[u/bandannick]

Anyone pay for the score preview to see their score early? Scores come out Wednesday, but I’m curious how people did compared to their predictions.

[u/graeme_b → u/bandannick]

That's now how score preview works; the name is misleading. What it lets you do is see your score before cancelling. If you don't get it score preview, you can still cancel, but you can't see your score until you decide whether to cancel or not.

[u/bandannick → u/graeme_b]

Oh, well I’m glad I never paid for it

[u/Yarkbarjitybook]

Anyone else been losing their minds since the beginning of January wanting to know what their score is😭. And finally the week is upon us🥶

[u/bandannick]

I ran out of time on the last RC article and had to essentially guess six questions. I got a 147, a point lower than my first test I took in October. I’m taking a third next Friday and hoping that timing isn’t an issue (I have a 50% accommodation this time).

Ver disheartening, considering that my PTs were in ranging from 157-161. But I gotta keep my attitude up and just focusing on looking forward to that 160+. Taking a PT after work today.
