Official Post LSAT Topic Post
The November 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:
- If you had a single section of LG, LR or RC, posting topics from that will establish that those topics were from a real section
- If you had two sections of LG, LR, or RC, posting topics is worse than useless - it pollutes information. The reason is that you don't know which was experimental and which was real
We'll be collecting topics here from those who had a single secton of LG, LR and RC.
Stuff that still isn't allowed
- Posting about the content of sections: specific questions and answers, game rules and mechanics, 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.
I have added a January 2024 LSAT review post on LSATHacks which summarizes these topics as well as people's experience with proctoring, and dates for score release and the April LSAT.
