Yes, the clown, agriculture, musical intrument games composed the scored section. As for the RC, all i can say is "damn it." I aced one, got hung up and screwed the other -- and of course it's the latter that counted (burning forests, historical sociology, medical ethics).
The same thing happened with my first LSAT: two games - the "good" one was out, the not so good in. I just never expected that with RC, my typically strongest section. Damn it, damn it.
Everybody sounds pretty positive, and that's cool. Best of luck when the scores are released. I'm just wondering if I should cancel. I think the other 3 scored sections went pretty smooth, finished with plenty of time (except for guessing the last 2-3 questions in games), but on the RC that counted I was really pushing to get through the last 2 passages and outright guessed the last 2 questions. That's not a good sign.
A 170+ may still be in the offing, but I manifestly did NOT nail it, and that's more than a little disappointing. Man, that's tough. El choke-o city.
Hey, I think I really smoked the writing sample. Do i get anything for that? Oh yeah right...well, just asking.
Peace y'all. Don't be surprised if I'm too ashamed to show my face around these parts again. Maybe some sweet love from my g-friend will bring me around. For now, I'm feeling low....
--Ugh--

if it's any consolation, kid jr., i had a hard time with the RC as well, and i almost always miss just one or none at all on that section. it's definitely my strong suit, so i was doubly concerned when i couldn't just rip through that first "burning forests" passage. that passage took me way too long (and who knows if i got all the questions right), so then i had to move too fast through the rest. i managed to finish without guessing, but i didn't get to look back in the language of the passage itself for a lot of them, which is usually how i manage to do well on those. anyway, i would say that RC was definitely harder than on most other former LSATs. or maybe it was just that it was the last section and i was burnt out by then. but i share your pain. good luck.
