<p>I just got back from taking the LSAT. I really don't know what to think. I think I performed strongly on the Logical reasoning sections. I completed up to question 23 without guessing on the first section and I finished all the questions on the second logical reasoning section. I completed up to the first two questions of the last game. I'm not feeling too confident about my performance on the games, I think my nerves got to me, I usually performed strongly on them in practice. I think I completely bombed on one of the reading comprehension sections, which leads me to my question. I had two reading comprehension sections, meaning one was the experimental section. MY question is, is there anyway of knowing which section was the experimental one? Is it always Section 5? I really hope not, because I did pretty good on Section 5, but Section 3, which was also a reading comp., I think I messed up a lot. I really don't know if I should cancel my score or not. So I'm sure I'll be stressing over the next couple of days, and if I decide not to cancel, I'll be stressing for the next three weeks.</p>
<p>You will know in three weeks. Several years ago a bunch of kids discussed AP tests online the day of the test, were tracked by AP and their scores were canceled. Warning to all! Be careful about posting online re standardized tests.</p>
<p>Chris, I've always been told that the Experimental section seems the hardest to test-takers because they try out all kinds of weird questions. So it probably was that section that you think you "bombed." There's no way to be sure, though, until they tell you.</p>
<p>I didn't know about discussing the test. Could a moderator delete my thread please?</p>
<p>Confirmation: Section 3 was experimental.</p>
<p>Yeah, my understanding is that the experimental section is always one of the first three.</p>
<p>I don't think you have improperly discussed the test (though I could be mistaken). My understanding is that you cannot discuss specific questions, which you did not do.</p>
<p>Im breathing a sigh of relief knowing that. I screwed up that section.</p>
<p>Question: my impression was that experimental sections varied. I believe it is not the case that all students are administered the same test.</p>
<p>I had two reading comp. sections, but one did not have the new comparative reading in in. For me that was section 4, so I am guessing that section 4 was my experimental section. From what I've heard and read the experimental section is usually one of the first 3 sections. Anyone have the same experience or any idea why that was?</p>

<p>Yes, there are several different experimental sections, but everyone has the same four real sections. That's how you can figure out which section was experimental if it's not obvious. Additionally, the sections are not in the same order for each exam; some of them will start with the logic games section, some with RC, etc. But the experimental is always one of the first three.</p>

<p>I don't understand. You were expecting a comparative reading section, which appeared in section 4, so you don't think that was the real RC? Either your second or third section was also RC, right? If so, that one was almost certainly the experimental one.</p>
<p>Weird, I had two reading comp. sections and each had a compartive reading part.</p>
<p>I was expecting section 4 or 5 to be the real comp. reading section, but there was no comparative section. I thought I heard people talking about it after the test that they had the same experience. If there was no comparative section, that makes me assume that it was experimental. I guess we will see once I get the results back. Anyone else have the same experience?</p>
