I think the biggest difference is that in the 80s LR the Lsac uses a few different tricks to make questions more difficult. Namely these are difficult grammar, hard wording, and really tricky answers where Lsac is going to use 1 word that totally disqualifies an answer. Overall it's just more emphasis on really good reading skills. The logic doesn't change.
For LG in the 80s I didn't see much of a difference except for some miscellaneous games and of course having a Sub question on most tests. Otherwise I didn't see much change at all from the 60s-80s in LG.
The PT in 80s arent harder. Theyre just different. Review some extensivley and give yourself time to adjust. This is especially the case in LR. In fact I found the RC in 80s to be easier and LG about the same than the 70s.
LR isnt harder, but different and usually cause drops off in the beginning. I would especially look at 80,82,85,89
@melisulusel212 That's interesting...I mostly suffer with the LG in the 80s. When I do an LG in the 80s games it looks like LSAC took the worst parts of every game ever made and combine them into four disastrous games lol. And I would "know" considering I have done almost every PT. With LR, I continue to get my score of -2, so maybe there is something to the idea that they aren't harder, just different. Thanks so much for your input!
I'm on the same boat as you and it's quite disheartening. I do especially poorly in LR (went from scoring in the -2/-4 range to -7/-8 range!) so I decided to go through a few LR sections from the 80's untimed in order to address accuracy issues. I've read in the forums that many people think they're actually not harder but just a little different so I try to keep that in mind to not get overwhelmed.
