the experimental section appeared in Section 2. Ratings of this administration placed its difficulty on par with other recent exams.

Princeton Review students rated the difficulty of this section as similar to games sections that have appeared on exams within the past year.

The first game involved determining the order in which six animals appeared on six signposts.

In the second game, four cassette tapes each held songs on their front and back sides. There were four types of songs that could appear.

The third game involved determining in which order five cities experienced storms and what type of precipitation fell on each city.

In the last game, six committee members had to be assigned to three subcommittees with three members each.

Test takers rated the first and third games as easier and the second and fourth games as harder. Our students found that their familiarity with the games and experience with making deductions helped them set up the games and work the questions efficiently.
