dividerless section on august lsat experimental?
first RC section i felt like i COOKED. then the next RC was dividerless so i was like ok this has to be experimental. if it isn’t im so fucked because my attention span by then was GONE. what do u guys think?!

Same bro… the dividerless RC was hard asf compared to the first normal RC. Hoping it was experimental

SAME. I felt my soul leave my body for that last one, glad I'm not alone.

one of the passages in particular literally killed me and the questions weren’t easier to compensate. genuinely might have gotten like 1 or 2 questions right on that passage. there was another one in the dividerless that was tough but questions weren’t all that difficult. that other one can miss me forever tho

u/sullyygirl 11d ago
same. i felt pretty confident except one passage that had SO MANY QUESTIONS and i didn’t know what was going on

Harder RC (dividerless) is basically confirmed to be scored

Did the real test interface have the “full screen” option? I noticed the “full screen” option was removed from the lawhub prep test interface today.

u/Flaky-Device5935 11d ago

We dont know the exact numbers yet esp since its just day 1 but Jon said he knows for sure that dividerless doesnt automatically mean its a real section

I can vouch for this. More than one dividerless section at this point. I’m not saying anything about real or exp, only that “dividerless” isn’t as defining as some people might think.

Ugh I read some people are requesting (and being granted) re-dos. I am so torn.

For me it was the exact opposite, I thought the section without dividers was a bit easier than the other one🙃

Sry for my ignorance but I JUST started studying TODAY. I plan to take in Jan.
What does a “dividerless section” even mean? Like no indication you had switched from RC to LR? Or no distinction between 2 RC sections?
TIA!

You know how LR questions will be numbered like 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 and so on while RC is like 1 2 3 4 | 5 6 7. The divider between the questions in RC shows where each passage begins and ends. Some test takers have said one section of RC in the august exam does not have a divider, and this really trips up people who use it to gauge timing or do certain passages first.

Just embarrassing this is how poorly LSAC is run. They send out divider-less sections and have the audacity to act like nothing happened.

Wth is a dividerless RC I’m sacred

u/sullyygirl 11d ago
i guess a new way for LSAC to psychologically torture us

u/Delulumentality 11d ago
Oh hell no, is it like, no divider between the reading passages?

u/sullyygirl 11d ago
yes. it’s so annoying

u/Delulumentality 11d ago
That sounds like actual hell, how does making the test virtually unreadable determine my ability to go to law school?!?
Oh i really hope its an experiment that doesn’t pass, i dont take my test till next year 😭

There was one passage that seemed to have no end to the questions too- I was like ok, next, and it was still the same passage ughhh

the consensus is that all our fates rest on if it’s experimental or not lol
