Self-paced
Hi all, I just got a 175 on PT 128. While I am so happy with this result, there is also a bit of confusion. For context, I was studying and PTing a lot earlier in the year from January to April before taking the April LSAT, and was averaging around 166/167 near the end of the studying. Then I had a bit of a break and came back to drilling, and just now took my first PT since then. I was surprised to get this score, and even more surprised to get a blind review of 180 given my avg PT score from before. I am wondering if the earlier PTs (120-130) are different in difficulty from the newer ones (140-159)? Do the emphasize different problem types more?
Essentially, I am wondering how I should make sense of this higher score now, and, through I obviously need to take more PTs to get a better grasp of my current skill set, whether scores for these older PTs tend to translate to the current administrations of the LSAT.

The earlier PTs aren't quite as indicative as what today's tests look like, but that doesn't nullify this score! It could also be that taking a bit of a break to recharge let your brain process and implement the information you'd been studying. Or it could be a little of both!
One score isn't quite enough data to work with, but this is still useful information! You can still work on the question types you missed, and take a more recent PT when you're ready to see where you're landing with the more modern tests.
You can read a bit more about how to use the different PTs here :)
@PhoebeHopp Thank you! This info on usage of PTs is definitely helpful!
