Self-study
Just feels like if I get one wrong these days, it comes from PT 120 or below. The questions just seems so much different, less ‘clean’, so to speak.

Yes, I agree!
Hi, this is my take.
For as long as I had studied (very long), I had taken only tests below PT120. I did this mainly out of unwarranted fear about running out of preptests (spoiler alert: don't do that). My point is that when I had started to take more recent tests, it literally felt like I was taking a completely different test. It felt hard, foreign, and different (and I can still feel this difference). I think this is because I was super used to the ways of older preptests, that it was (and still is) now a time for me to adapt to the more recent LSAT.
Basically I think this is the case with others who say that older tests are harder, when they are just used to the more recent tests. In any case, it's much better to be in this circumstance than the other way around, because obviously the more recent tests will more closely resemble the real test.
Also there is a website (can't recall, but it is somewhere in the discussion if you look) that shows the difficulty and avg scores of each preptest, and there is barely any variation across tests. I think this supports my hypothesis that ease and difficulty have more to do with familiarity than the tests themselves.
