August 2023 LSAT Information and Discussion

[Administrator]

As August's LSATs conclude, test takers throughout the US and Canada naturally wonder what to make of their experience, and are eager to hear more about the experiences of others. To aid in that, this thread allows you to provide general feedback about your test, and will serve as a one-stop repository for all of the details that PowerScore users submit.

This information can then help you better predict your own scoring outcomes, and determine whether to keep or cancel your score (although these days you rarely should cancel since only your highest score matters). For more assistance on making that decision, please visit: The Ultimate LSAT Scoring Guide: Should You Keep or Cancel?

Here is LSAC's note regarding test discussion:

• REMINDER: Under your Candidate Agreement, you may not discuss the details of any specific LSAT questions at any time. For the August LSAT, general discussion of what sections you had, or how difficult you found a given section, or speculation about which sections were scored or unscored, is prohibited until after 7pm ET, Tuesday, August 8th. Posts that violate these rules will be taken down and may result in disciplinary action from LSAC. Let’s work together to ensure the test is fair to everyone, and not share information before everyone has taken the test.
  
  Some examples of typical comments:
  
  Okay: the section on Cambodian woodworking really had me second guessing everything.
  Over the line: the passage on Cambodian woodworking didn’t count.
  
  Okay: a few of the games had me confused but think I was okay.
  Over the line: I had Cambodian woodworking, Fireflies, and rice farming in Iowa so Lithuanian Lithograph Libraries was experimental.
  
  Okay: overall fair test, struggled on a couple of RC passages (damn you polymorphic molecules) but think I was okay hoping for a -2 or -3
  Over the line: fair test but struggled on a couple RC passages (polymorphic molecules anyone? Thankfully it didn’t count). Don’t want to take again in September
  
  Over the line: Anyone know if Polygamist Societies in the 1880s was real or experimental?
  
  Over the line: Please tell me that polygon dice game didn’t count
  
  Good luck on the August test!

Note: This thread will continue to update and grow over the coming days, and thus is neither official nor complete while the discussion is ongoing. If you are considering canceling based on the details provided here, give the conversation a day or two as we work to confirm all of the information is accurate.

We're wishing everyone the very best on their LSAT, and can't wait to hear how it went!

Disappointed. I am almost certain the rest of the rules on my last logic game of the section were absent. I do not want to have to retake it on the 22nd, the second day of school. I wish it would have been complete and not hampered my score. I planned to take it again in October to be competitive for scholarships, nonetheless, I wanted it to be as high as possible in proportion to how much studied.

From what I know of the game you likely had, I doubt there were rules missing. whenever we can finally podcast a recap, it should become clearer.

Thanks!

Most people came over to my Twitter/X to post complaints about the horrific test experience they had and get instant updates, and many people didn't even see questions. :/ That changed the traffic here drastically.

Do yo know when the recap will be done? After he retakes?

[Dave Killoran]

Yes, after the retakes. We need to first get enough test reports, then sift them, and that takes time

Since we had the whole ordeal about the test not working, what time would you like the tea about the sections that I had???
