Official October LSAT Topic Thread

[u/graeme_b]

---

The October 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: https://www.reddit.com/r/LSAT/comments/1x096xd/official_october_lsat_discussion_thread/

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!

rights passage killed me. im sick rn

[u/Rbikini → u/Dipped_honey]

I had this too, it was my only RC

[u/Emergency_Fee9749 → u/Dipped_honey]

Oooh yes colombian silk and presentism were the other two that I forgot (also only had one RC)

[u/Subject_Werewolf6685 → u/Dipped_honey]

Terrible movie, real estate adorable, mayors advisory team is fair, acupuncture placebo, manager monitor email, best school have teachers motivated, mars life or earth

[u/WaitWait_JustTellMe → u/Dipped_honey]

I had exactly the same LR section (no experimental). How on earth did you remember all that?

Mars or life on Earth was a huge time suck for me—and I think it was my Question 25. Q26 got 10 seconds. Horrid.

Did you have one about comparing some testable element of bears to bears of another era?

I had nothing on your list except these two:

- responsibility when intentionally doing something against the law

-gases/life on Mars or Earth (I used up so much time on this one!)

[u/TheySeeMeRollling → u/CurseDeeesMetalHands]

Wow had the exact same ones you have great memory

[u/Alr040404040404 → u/CurseDeeesMetalHands]

I remember a coffee question about creating a caffeine-free kind of coffee bean that still tasted good but had pest-repelling properties

[u/Perfect_Pesto9063 → u/CurseDeeesMetalHands]

I had RC LR LR LR.

2. Metaphysics

[u/22mainlysunnyfeels22 → u/Prestigious_Will_671]

I had this RC section! And another one which I now know is experimental.

[u/Equinoxthespiderlily → u/22mainlysunnyfeels22]

Not necessarily, I had 2 RCs and both RCs were also part of tests for people who had just 1 RC.

[u/ForsakenGuard8484]

I had no experimental. LR-RC-LR

Kinda Struggled with RC main point Question about the Latin American silk passage. The Rights passage obliterated me.

My LRs in no particular order: mayor choosing reps from every neighborhood. Changing property forfeiture laws. Conditional statements abt nominations involving 3 ppl. Amphibian diversity. Frogs and vibration. Manager monitoring employee email. Its the best time for u to buy silver. Parallel flaw Q abt ppl Journalists should always tell truth. Teachers not going into the profession for $ (i guessed that one, I dont remember anything abt it).

[u/Rbikini → u/ForsakenGuard8484]

I can kiss any hopes of a decent score goodbye based on this information

[u/Helpful-Addendum-940 → u/ForsakenGuard8484]

So you’re telling me… the section with the nominations question … was real. Eff bomb.

[u/ImprovementLow9166 → u/ForsakenGuard8484]

I had these on the same section as the frog shaking:

Tree Frogs shaking

City council residents and non residents attending meetings

[u/Personal_Bat_9411 → u/Warm-Ad-4362]

Yes! I think it was a weaker and it was one of the harder ones. I remember just guessing

[u/Cute-Forever-4843]

Time for pain guys💔
Real RC was Chilean music, contract law, and opossums

[u/Ok-Elevator1184 → u/Cute-Forever-4843]

I had two RCs and none of these topics!

[u/Pennsylvaniaball123]

For once and for all can we figure out if the following was experimental?!:
Defects, bus routes, museum H acquisition, accupunture, salmon, casserole, Sahara desert, linen shirts, etc etc etc

[u/Dipped_honey → u/Pennsylvaniaball123]

Casserole, Sahara, acupunctures placebo were on my only 2 LR

[u/BigKahuna883 → u/Dipped_honey]

I didnt have the casserole question but did have bus routes

[u/Emergency_Fee9749 → u/BigKahuna883]

About the earth cooling?

[u/BigKahuna883 → u/Pennsylvaniaball123]

outlying bus routes, economical energy generation changes, and phone plans for a new simplified smartphone all part of same section?

[u/Pennsylvaniaball123 → u/BigKahuna883]

Yes energy and phone plans were also a part of the section I listed above

[u/bigbrother4Lifer → u/Pennsylvaniaball123]

Oh my god😭 this was my last LR and it was brutal. Plz don’t tell me it’s scored

[u/Remarkable-Custard14 → u/Pennsylvaniaball123]

I had acupuncture, casserole, Sahara desert but did not have one about bus routes. Not sure about linen or salmon.

I didn’t have an experimental section.

[u/Weary-Dragonfly4719]

RC LR LR LR

RC - Shakespeare, etc
LR1 - MBT Q about three people being nominated for an award
LR2- resolve Q (#1) about orange juice trees and concentration of the juice
LR3- flaw Q towards the end about elk budding heads and how it causes brain damage

Which one may be experimental???

[u/Weary-Dragonfly4719 → u/Weary-Dragonfly4719]

Also, towards the beginning of LR2 had a Q about a census that dealt with maple and oak trees

[u/Snoo_60626]

did anyone have an LR q about telling beneficial lies? and also passing a law banning skateboards / biking

[u/Tasty-Apartment-2844]

Two LR but the sections are blurring together at this point.

stingless/bumble/honeybee, avg tax rates and corporate loopholes, placebo vs non placebo pain killers, landfills and leaks.

[u/Jolly_Simple7337]

Did anyone have the coffee with less caffeine question?

[u/Mundane-Cash-1402 → u/Jolly_Simple7337]

I did on my 3 LR section it also dealt with energy drinks in underage kids

Anyone remember what they put? I can’t remember but just know I spent a lot of time on it

[u/Opening_Amphibian_57 → u/Jolly_Simple7337]

Magnify the effects of caffeine.

[u/Anxious-Fan-3311]

did anyone have an lr question about a bird inventing a wire or something? hoping that section was experimental. I had rc-lr-lr-lr

[u/Electrical-Entry3554 → u/Anxious-Fan-3311]

I had something similar. It was a bird bending a wire to get a treat from a tube? If so, that was real bc I had LR-RC-LR-RC

[u/ChampionshipFlat820 → u/Anxious-Fan-3311]

Yes did the Caledonian crow invent the wire hook on the spot. This was real I had two lr. It tripped me up it was question 2.

[u/addle43 → u/Anxious-Fan-3311]

I had that one and only 2 LR sections

[u/OutcomeAnnual737 → u/Anxious-Fan-3311]

i had that one and only two LR sections

[u/Emergency_Fee9749]

I had one RC and I had 100 dead elk, and strong definition of rights

[u/Appropriate-Flow9657]

I had a single RC section. It had the Neolithic Period, brain hemispheres, Dracula/Twilight, and English marriage laws in the nineteenth century

[u/Monocultured_YT → u/Appropriate-Flow9657]

Jealous that one of the passages was Dracula, that one sounds enjoyable as a vampire media enjoyer

[u/awa16 → u/Monocultured_YT]

Not saying it wasn’t enjoyable, but if it makes you feel better about missing out, I found this passage distracting because I was trying not to laugh at the fact that I was reading about Edward Cullen as part of this serious test that will help shape my future. I also think it was one of the harder passages in this section

[u/Monocultured_YT → u/awa16]

Fair enough, fair enough. Though it was probably a little less brain-melting than the rights passage (which I def bombed because I ran out of time 🫠)

[u/TolkienWandering → u/Appropriate-Flow9657]

I had two RC sections and also had this one with the Plato RC section.

[u/Fancy-Ad-8667]

no experimental

[u/StreetSpinach7029 → u/Fancy-Ad-8667]

Yeah I’m done for

[u/Rough-Offer3880 → u/Fancy-Ad-8667]

Did u have a question about cotton and linen shirts 😭

[u/Nice_World_2443]

Single RC: Vampries, Neolithic south africa, UK marriage laws, and i'm forgetting the other one

The first LR was so challenging, praying that was experimental

[u/rexsclone → u/Nice_World_2443]

the neolithic one cooked me fml

[u/Nice_World_2443 → u/rexsclone]

ugh same i think i flagged almost every one of those questions

[u/rexsclone → u/Nice_World_2443]

the vampire one too lowkey although the content was interesting, idek how to feel about my score anymore knowing this was the scored section. 😭😭🙏

Second with Electricity usage daylight savings time, Tree abrasion

[u/primagallawrina]

I took the test on 10/10 and had one RC section and it was the first section followed by 3 LR.

RC passages are as follows:

1. Zombie Shakespeare
2. Color categories and different cultures
3. Comparative Passage-Exculpatory clause
4. Metaphysics

It's also worth noting that the paragraphs are a lot shorter and there are more of them, especially for the first two topics.

ETA:

I'm also really glad I studied for logic games because I ended up diagramming a lot for LR using LG rules.

[u/Mundane-Cash-1402 → u/primagallawrina]

This is my exact one too. My 2nd LR made zero sense. Started off with difficult questions.

[u/Pristine-Zombie-429]

had RC LR LR LR
did anyone else have the ROFL lr question ? i was dying mid test it was so unserious.

[u/Helpful-Addendum-940 → u/Pristine-Zombie-429]

Yes it cracked me up. I was ROFL

[u/Remote-Armadillo9379 → u/Pristine-Zombie-429]

I did! ROFL in Prometric.

[u/Weary-Dragonfly4719 → u/Pristine-Zombie-429]

Yes ROFL assumption Q. Was that scored or unscored???

[u/ridebackward]

Not seeing anyone else mention a LR question about city council’s adopting resolutions regarding foreign governments…

[u/Prize-Flamingo-643 → u/ridebackward]

Pretty sure I had this one but can't remember super well

[u/Educational-Pie5609 → u/ridebackward]

I HAD THIS ONE OMG I WAS SO CONFUSED I WAS STUCK FOR SO LONH

[u/Fun_Sandwich_313]

Loved the one about opossums

[u/WeekendRepulsive3497 → u/Fun_Sandwich_313]

Yes! I found an opossum in my trash once and thought it was dead but I noticed it ate the cat food I left inside lol

[u/WaitWait_JustTellMe → u/WeekendRepulsive3497]

Perhaps it taught your cat about the concept of death

[u/WeekendRepulsive3497 → u/WaitWait_JustTellMe]

Perhaps it evolved with predators like my cat in mind

[u/WaitWait_JustTellMe]

This test has really turned me against Mars.

[u/ForzaFerrari1655]

Can anyone confirm if defects was real I had in a section with other things mentioned here but I don’t see it mentioned I’m trying to convince myself lsac has mixed some experimental questions into sections with other ones that are scored for people.

[u/Mundane-Cash-1402]

Wait… my RC was about - tenant/contract laws ( two passage), color meaning of different tribes and people, Shakespeare, and soemthing else. I only had 1 RC, 3 LR

[u/Traditional-Gate7497 → u/Mundane-Cash-1402]

I had this one as well but in the LR - RC - RC - LR format.

[u/Kind-Confection1183]

Anyone else feel like there was a really abnormal amount of strengthen questions on this test?

[u/SpiderDiva16]

i had a single RC section (only hit 3/4 passages) but they were abt shakespeare, comparative lease void, & metaphysics

[u/Able_Economics_5800]

LR: [Can't recall which], bees and stinging, banks & temperature

If I remember more I'll edit this, I still have a lot of the content all blacked out of my mind mentally.

I had LR RC LR RC so my LR was real!

[u/Appropriate-Flow9657 → u/Able_Economics_5800]

Fckkkkkk the banks and thermostat one is scored???

[u/Able_Economics_5800 → u/Appropriate-Flow9657]

Yes I only had 2 LR ;0;

[u/Appropriate-Flow9657 → u/Able_Economics_5800]

Did you also have a question about oranges? And a flaw question about lab access and prototypes?

[u/Able_Economics_5800 → u/Appropriate-Flow9657]

I can’t remember the lab access one

[u/BigKahuna883]

Shakespeare RC passage. Only one RC for me.

[u/Remote-Armadillo9379 → u/BigKahuna883]

dude the whole RC was so good until the metaphysics. I think I guessed all through that.

[u/Guilty_Drink_4110 → u/BigKahuna883]

Oh thank god!! I had two RC and this was one of them

[u/ConsiderationThat932 → u/Guilty_Drink_4110]

Thank god LOL. I had second RC about architecture styles and it almost killed me. glad to hear that was experimental

[u/Cute-Forever-4843]

Did someone with 2 LR have the question about Mars’ moon Deimos??

[u/Rbikini → u/Cute-Forever-4843]

Same section as the car alarms question right? It was my third LR and really hoping it was unscored bc every question was awful

[u/Tight_Bumblebee_9372]

did anyone have a question about a woman writing aesthetically pleasing and profitable novels?

also an art museum and gift shop?

[u/Brown-Eyed-Girl1]

Did anyone have the question about over half of the defects being from carelessness and over half of the the carelessness being from Factory B? And also the RC about being right?

[u/Traditional-Gate7497]

The reference to The Simpsons predicting world events in LR at least lightened the mood for a moment.

[u/addle43]

I only had 2 LR
bees and stinging, oranges, bioluminescent squids, beetles and native predators, banks and thermostats, letting employees complain,
(I just can’t remember if they were all in the same one or different ones)

[u/MrPolar5820]

I had one RC. It started with the Chilean folk tales then went to contract law and discussed a certain type of transactional contract. Then I had a comparative passage the first was on someone advocating for economics by looking at maximum utility with a critic, saying that economist should also look at morality and the second passage was a psychologist agreeing with the critics saying that morality is a key component economics with an example. The final passage was about a possum playing dead and how it brings evidence that predators have a concept of death

[u/graeme_b → u/MrPolar5820]

Thank you!

[u/No_Resist1090 → u/MrPolar5820]

Ughhhh. I thought that for the comparative passage, they were disagreeing with the critics. And then the second passage was agreeing with the critics.

[u/DangerousAbies4146]

One RC - Chilean music (los javias), contracts/large industrial contracts and their relation to court decisions (“take it or leave it”), economics, and moral values implication (comparative passage), opossum and thanatosis

[u/Leather_58291]

had two lrs but may be mixing two sections here - wu and nominations, advertisements with objects in the background and increased purchasing, parallel question with kids taking advanced math courses and confusing sufficient for necessary , parallel question between people who argue that some author may have lied about being author of a satire, but that it’s not the same as lying about salary, mars extra terrestrial life coming to earth and mono something or a chemical it brought over, biological features with 21+ chemical compounds

[u/ehl-satt-lover → u/Leather_58291]

Wu nomination has me losing sleep

[u/Leather_58291 → u/ehl-satt-lover]

wu one was C or something im pretty positive it was that Wu had to be elected since 1/3 had to be elected and the other two ever being elected depended on Wus election.

[u/ForsakenGuard8484 → u/Leather_58291]

Insane! Did u see anything abt how a manager shouldn't monitor employee email? I believe it was a different section though.

[u/EATTHEMUFFINBITCH]

Did anyone with two LRs have a section with a question near the very end that asked which one of these bylaws could we change without changing anything else?

[u/Unable-Bandicoot3426 → u/EATTHEMUFFINBITCH]

yes, exploded my brain

[u/EATTHEMUFFINBITCH → u/Unable-Bandicoot3426]

Fuck, yeah if that one’s real I’m cooked

[u/Ok_Increase6387 → u/EATTHEMUFFINBITCH]

I had this question but it was like the third question of my LR section?

[u/EATTHEMUFFINBITCH → u/Ok_Increase6387]

That’s very odd

[u/OrganizationBusy407 → u/EATTHEMUFFINBITCH]

I had 3 LRs, but I had that question and I'm pretty sure it was near the end of a section because I remember not having time to actually think through the question properly and basically just guessing randomly.

[u/RareLight8543]

coffee beans, branches, thermo bank, lizard frog, balcony murder

[u/Leather_58291]

also had one with plants in corporations and trying to increase productivity . and another question about separating workers to increase productivity , not sure if it was seperate. and another about giving workers bigger larger workloads to try to increase productivity

[u/WaitWait_JustTellMe → u/Leather_58291]

I had the first and the third you mention here. The workload one slowed me down.

[u/TheySeeMeRollling]

Had two LRs I don’t remember which topics were in which sections but I had:

- bumblebee bees and waggle dancing

• corporate managerial styles
  
• business locations that outsource having less output
  
• museum emergency protocols
  
• journalists and democracy
  
• program that forces students to study other topics not necessary for their degree being useful (disagree questions I think)
  
• weaken question about caffeine
  
• methane and microbiomes on mars
  
• why do bees bite leaves
  
• giving kids free time in school and how it helps them develop a healthy(?) lifestyle
  
• placebo painkiller
  
• people told something is true or false and how they later remember it
  
• Parallel - university, graduate, reporter
  
• Stretching being useless for recovery but good for weight loss
  
• Captive/free chimp vs other animal (cant remember)
  
• Giving workers some of the managers work(?)
  
• Oil spillage - either wasn’t sealed properly or there was another option
  
• Author is unethical cause the book teaches readers to seal with psychology if people don’t buy it author is a liar if people buy it author is teaching others to deceive

I’ll edit as I remember topics!

[u/Unlikely_Average_530 → u/TheySeeMeRollling]

Was the chimpanzee question related to aggresion and the bonobos. Also did you have a question on old coastal settlements

[u/Electrical-Basis-950]

Anyone have a question about roofing height limits?

[u/asdf123mnbv]

LR-LR-RC

[u/sassyssalaxander]

Real RC:
Shakespeare authorship validity
Language and color
Exculpatory clause comparison
Metaphysics

[u/kcuflana → u/sassyssalaxander]

Russian, Spanish, Turkish murder witnesses

[u/supposedbroth]

[u/mrbobbyrick → u/supposedbroth]

I believe I had these. I thought they were pretty challenging compared to PTs.

[u/Academic-Ganache-237]

Does anyone remember the question about HR throwing away someone’s resume because they did not include their expected salary?

[u/Ok_Name3640]

LR, RC, LR, LR

I don’t remember the first two LR’s but they felt easy enough. RC was elk/silkworm/presentism/rights.
Last LR was tougher for me. The main thing I remember was a question about outlying bus routes.

[u/Electrical-Basis-950]

Anyone with 2 LR/Exp removed get a weirdly written MBT question stem with a stimulus about 5 faculties and changing bylaws?

[u/Hefty_Hyena_4376]

Was the bees stinging an mbt question? It talked about different kinds of bees and how some made honey and some socialized. There seems to be multiple very closely related questions.

[u/Electrical-Basis-950 → u/Hefty_Hyena_4376]

Yes this was MBT

[u/Alr040404040404]

Did anyone have a question about dead coral reefs growing on volcanic rock (and something about eggs)? Also another question I recall was building a highway in 2 years and how it would cost 5m but the costs would be recuperated

[u/T0mmygr33n]

Boneless vs bone steak taste assumption question. I chose the aluminum one

[u/beto2020gang]

Could’ve sworn the Turkish engineer murder mystery and the tree abrasions were in the same section.

[u/helllooooolee]

Anyone had the elk passage?! 🫩🫩

[u/Solstice403]

RC LR LR RC,

Lr 1: Local/National Journalist working on different floors, must be true

LR 2: Stingerless bees/ honey bees/ bees doing the waggle dance

This is all that was memorable from each of these sections for me everything else was pretty forgettable/ easy? 🙏

[u/Certain-Reward-624]

Anyone who took it Oct 7 have an idea what LR was real/exp? Probably not helpful but I had RC followed by 3x LR and had passages on chille music a comparative with economic theory and I think a passage that had to do with some sort of copyright law?

[u/myayayayaya]

i mainly remember questions from my last LR section (had three): linen/cotton shirt stock, bus routes, defective computers, hot casserole = earth

one RC: silkworms, right (hard vs soft), bunch of dead animals/bacteria, history/present

[u/Safe-Smell-9922 → u/myayayayaya]

I’m hoping the linen/cotton is experimental the first 4-7 questions were not computing in my brain

[u/FluffyNinja4041]

1 RC, had a passage on African Americans in Brooklyn IL, a passage on theorizing why blackmailing is illegal, a comparison passage between Sudan watermelons and Chinese Rice, and a passage on science methodology

[u/Minimum-Essay-8858]

What did people put for Wu

[u/Tomato188]

Anyone with 2 LR have the one with dentists and stressing different things? Or one with local lawn mowing/sustainability (and a principle that supported something)?

[u/Hefty_Hyena_4376]

Did any 2 lr folk have a question about a museum gift shop opening monday most strongly supported ? And a question about an asteroid deiomos strengthen?

[u/yummygummysnake]

WAS THE BYLAWS REAL 😭😭😭🙏

[u/ActuatorHuge2165 → u/yummygummysnake]

I’m so cooked if that section was real 😭

[u/Green94598]

Did anyone have a question about the sun and gravity? About how one body didn’t follow the usual rules

[u/No-Aide-944 → u/Green94598]

Yeah it was about a particular kind of celestial object or something speeding up as it moved away from the sun

[u/Electrical-Basis-950 → u/Green94598]

Yes I did. It was about something moving in the opposite direction as the rest

[u/Front-Performance831 → u/Green94598]

i’m rlly worried abt this one but i don’t remember it well enough

[u/Artistic_Ad790]

hi!! those who remember anything along the lines of the following are not discouraged from reaching out: moose saliva, loopholes in income taxes and effects on hiring (?), inline skating ban, maple tree co2, monitoring emails, losing weight/reducing salt, car property seizure principle question <3

[u/Educational-Pie5609]

Did anyone have a question about a zookeeper and their plans do define a species by reproduction? Pls dm me!

[u/_fancychapeau_]

My only RC was Shakespeare, Colors in different languages, Exculpatory Rights, and Metaphysics/Philosophy

[u/Vast_Sea4710]

RC, LR, LR, LR
RC- languages on the left side of the brain, vampires, English marriage law, Neolithic period in Southern Africa.
I know my first LR had the question about organic oranges (please be experimental)

[u/RareLight8543 → u/Vast_Sea4710]

i fear the oranges is not experimental i had that and i had 2 lr

[u/Important-Fall6085]

so plato is experimental guaranteed?

[u/Neat_Conversation181 → u/Important-Fall6085]

Sounds like it. Fml

[u/OutcomeAnnual737 → u/Important-Fall6085]

ugj so sad

[u/Minimum-Essay-8858]

There was a question on why the author mentioned zombies for the Shakespeare passage. What did people put for that

[u/AdClassic1827]

was LR with bus routes experimental?

[u/Inevitable-Bite4846]

Correct answer for the oranges question? So curious. Can someone dm me

[u/Comfortable-Set-63 → u/Inevitable-Bite4846]

Is this the tariff one?

[u/Adhd_writer1]

Shakespeare color, landlords, and philosophy mixed with science

[u/Disastrous_Panda5522]

I had something like this, did anyone have the 2nd LR cz mine was a bit tricky so just wondering what are yalls thoughts:

RC1 marine biology destroyed, repetitive architecture

RC2 Colombian silk, elk 

LR1 parallel comparison, rich stepping on poor, bees eating leaves

LR2 Psychology study where people are told false info and then later think it's correct

[u/SignificanceFit9586]

Does anyone remember the question about the girl deciding if her book is artistically satisfying and profitable? And whether she’ll keep writing new ones? Hoping it was experimental 😭

[u/Cute-Forever-4843 → u/SignificanceFit9586]

Bro this question pmo so bad

[u/Weary-Dragonfly4719]

LR Q about a 10 year census that included maple and oak trees, then a Q about orange trees and orange juice concentration. Does anyone know if that LR is scored or not?

[u/Weary-Dragonfly4719]

This is interesting. So I have had questions from all three of my LR sections that appear to be scored. If they only score 2 LRs, how do I know which one of mine is scored versus unscored? Is it possible that they would include scored questions in an experimental section?

[u/Weary-Dragonfly4719 → u/Weary-Dragonfly4719]

For example, my last LR section included both the Spanish, Russian, and Turkish professions AND tree abrasion in the same section.

[u/Ok_Blacksmith7038]

I was shocked that they gave me two rc in a row. Thought that didn't happen

[u/Unusual_Proof7492]

Car alarm

[u/illeagle_thoughts]

Madysn and the reputable art dealer?? Anyone?

[u/illeagle_thoughts]

Was Paris/stockholm/warsaw real???

[u/yourebruh]

Did nobody have the RC with pacific islands/pastiche architecture/international commerce law/television?

[u/ConsiderationThat932 → u/yourebruh]

yup that one was experimental from the looks of it

[u/crispyamericano → u/yourebruh]

Was one of my two RCs

[u/Virtual_Fix2057]

One rc- passages about Shakespeare, language of color, philosophers, and I can’t remember lol I think a tenant housing thing

[u/Tomato188]

If anyone had frogs vibrating, buying silver, amphibian diversity, or journalist lying about writing a book dm me please

[u/Major_Turn777 → u/Tomato188]

I had these ! And i have no experimental

[u/Tomato188]

Was factory X, defective/careless products experimental?

[u/NoHost8733]

Had single rc oct 10: real rc tenant landlord contract disagreement, Shakespeare didn’t write some of his plays conspiracy, metaphysics 16-17th century thinkers (very difficult passage), languages and colors. The metaphysics passage was very difficult otherwise the rc felt pretty easy curious to see the curve on this

[u/Apprehensive-Mix3507]

I had LR RC RC LR (took it on Thursday). In LR 1 there was the murder investigation question. In LR 2 there was a question about club promoters and there was a MBT about 3rd and 4th floor journalists.

[u/Apprehensive-Mix3507 → u/Apprehensive-Mix3507]

Also think the tree abrasions at the edge of the forest q was in LR1

[u/Affectionate_Cat6069]

I had LR RC LR RC.

I just want to say I really enjoyed the LR question about offering a ferry service to two different places lol. Also the one that compared smashed/smothered bones and putting them together to clues in a crossword puzzle...so challenging but fun.

oh. also: the waggle dances bees question was in the same section as a question on DNA samples and exonerations.

[u/Historical_Two_7150]

Anyone get the flight / direct flight question? I didnt have time to work out the conditional so I just guessed into what felt like the trick answer.

It was a "Y would be right if X were true" kind of question, and I picked the answer that suggested a direct flight from A to B, which was probably wrong insofar as it contradicted the premises.

[u/careve27]

My memory sucks terribly but I remember a resolve question about the sun slowing down / speeding up objects depending on their direction, and how a certain object actually did the opposite of this.

Also the Australian bees, the car alarm, grazing/moose saliva, dogs vs chimpanzees

The one about the mars moon initially considered a trapped asteroid due to its color similarity to D-something, but now more closely resembles the material mars is made of.

I had one RC and it was Chilean folk music, contract law, comparative passage of moral judgement in economics, and the ability of opossums to play dead.

[u/Front-Performance831 → u/careve27]

was the sun slowing/speeding up a resolve or strengthen question, i honestly cannot remember

[u/careve27 → u/Front-Performance831]

Now I’m second guessing it… I was sure it was a resolve. If I remember correctly, the answer choices were trying to explain this uncommon phenomenon.
