Order of Sections

[moshei24]

Can there ever be 3 straight LR sections on an LSAT?

Thanks.

I've heard one or two reports of it occurring, but it is quite rare because you don't hear about it often. You have to first be a student who gets an LR experimental, and then have it in that unusual alignment. Chances are very, very low that you'd be served up that order on your test (I think that even the test makers recognize that alignment kinda, uh, sucks).

There are multiple reports of two sections of a kind in a row, and I've seen a number of instances of 3 LRs in a 4 section span (as in, LR for sections 1, 3, and 4).

Thanks!

Thank you!

So it would be my best bet to make sure that on a PT, I don't place 3 LR's in a row?

In general, yes, unless you wanted to test yourself and see what it is like to do three in a row

If you do try it (I think it would be kind of fun), only do it once. It's not something you'd want to do a lot just because the odds of seeing it are so low.

Thanks!

Alright.

Thanks, Dave!
