@dantlee14 , I think it's great that you're delaying a cycle to apply with a strong score. I made the same decision last year, and smartest thing I've ever done. Tough call on whether to prepare apps or not though. It'd be terrible to do all that wo…

Do you think it would be smart to sign up for February, wait for my score, and then decide then? I am confident I got a high enough score to get in where I wanted, so am hesitant to have the score wiped, but at the same time likel…
Woah, this is nuts. So sorry you had to deal with this.
@p.oleary17 said:
Would there be any benefit for me to call and complain?
Absolutely.

I am assuming they do not alter score as a result of external circumstances?
I think …
@esteerose said:
can you sum it up?
So when we say a test is a -10 or a -12 test, that's the number of questions you can miss and still score a 170. Let me see if I can find a link to a more indepth explanation of the grading structure. It's not c…

I thought the RC was intentionally made very easy to "make up" for the difficulty of the LG, so I don't really expect a significant curve.
That's still good though if that was the case. That will have a similar effect because it m…
@esteerose said:
Also, do they make up the difficulties by giving us easier sections?
It really does feel this way sometimes. The difficulty almost never feels evenly distributed. So if LG was the "hard" section on this one, I'd expect LR and RC t…
@esteerose said:
Is there any way they'll curve it?
Yeah, the grading scale will reflect the difficulty of the test, so if the LG really was as hard as it's starting to sound like, you're likely to get a generous scale.

I can't think of any reason to arrive early except to allow for transportation contingencies such as traffic.
Yeah, that's exactly right. There's no real advantage to being there early. You just want to plan to get there early i…
Hey @MrSamIam , good to see you around again, and good luck tomorrow! The paper is very similar to the little individual test books; maybe ever so slightly thinner. Hope that helps. You can always just see how it goes and then roll with what you get…

phones, mechanical pencils, digital watches, etc. are not allowed? Because LSAC is afraid of miniature cameras for recording test questions or answers. I would be astounded if they administered the same test days later.
Exactly! …
Sorry to hear that @wilderness . I've been there and the truth is that it's going to hurt for a long, long time. The long game is something you're going to have to learn, but right now all you need to be thinking about is getting through tomorrow. A…

What do you do in the space between reading the stimulus, then going into the ACs? My problem is that I'm justifying ACs, when my stimulus re-phrase/pre-phrase/anticipation AC needs work.
Maybe I don't know what pre-phrase me…
@NotoriousLRG said:
I have been doing the same thing - take the timed PT/BR/review. I also occasionally go back to the CC and take timed sections of retakes, but I haven't really seen any jumps in my score in quite awhile.
So if you've been doing …
I don't know if this happened to me specifically on this section, but yeah, this happened to me all the time. You really can't put much weight on individual sections or even individual tests. Your scores will fluctuate, your individual section perfo…

Damn Phone, lol. I actually wrote that wrong. I meant I am NOW nearly 100% certain it is a different test.
Haha! Okay, I was perfectly willing to trust your research, lol, but that just seemed so wrong!

That's pretty much what I've decided on. I don't have any major commitments over the next two months (as I've taken a leave until my exam from my full time job, which was my biggest obstacle towards finding time to study intens…
