Newer Prep Tests More Difficult?

My scores on older prep tests are consistently higher (by about 5 points) than newer ones. I feel as I am taking these newer tests that the questions are visibly more difficult. Am I crazy or is there any credence to this observation. I am taking the February LSAT; should I abandon the older tests and study only the new ones in preparation? I appreciate any insight. Thanks.

I had always heard that too many LSAT's is a worse look to admissions than too few. That being said, the too many is probably like 4+. What law schools care about regarding the LSAT above anything else is your score. So if you hit a school's median on your 4th LSAT, you're in a better spot than if you send in 1 LSAT that is below the median. Of course, sending in 4+ LSATs where you don't get that median is a worse look than sending in 1 LSAT below the median. At the end of the day, a good score will overshadow any concerns among admissions regarding the number of LSAT attempts you take. But if you're worried about sending in 2 or 3 scores, I'd advise not worrying.
