How in the world did the old test takers(a.k.a those who took PT 1,2,3) score in the 170s?
I know that the general consensus is that old PTs are easier, but this is because we have so many resources now available and PTs to study from.
Back then when there were no other study materials, and they were essentially the first ones to take the PTs.
Surprisingly, the curve is very similar (-10ish for 170) and I bet there are ppl who did score high 170s.
There were PTs before what we now number PT1, PT2, etc... I imagine it to be a lot like how it is the year 2017 but the world didn't start in 1 AD. I know they started using the 120/180 scale on PT1 and the ones before that were graded on a different scale. Also, they had some different sections that make the PTs before what we now call 1 look damn weird!
