PT 75+

Does anyone know how much PT 76-79 differ compared to the rest of the PTs that are available?

Cant Get Right

From PT 75, not much. From PT 1, a fair amount. Everything in between kind of scales between those.

Thank you. I wonder why I keep hearing that PT 75-79 are a lot different than the other PTs.

I honestly feel like there is a difference. Let's not talk about the old ones because those are just weird. With in the newer one's, which I feel start at around 72 and onward, the LR and RC rely more on details, ie specific wording, so, we really need to get our active reading down. With older LSAT's, I felt like I could get away by understanding the general gist of the arguments and still score well. Not the case anymore. Also, I'm starting to see a lot of assumption questions both in the LR and the RC. . .or maybe it's just me.

And another thing, I'm finding myself relying on POE a lot more than before. Some of the newer AC's for LR and RC are just so weak that at first glance they make you hesitate. In older PT's, I never found myself in that situation; it was always, "Yup, it's X for w/e reason." Definitely a trend as I'm noticing on ManhattanPrep there is a lot more explanations that go along the lines of, "The rest suck more so therefore X."

Yeah, I've noticed this for sure WRT the new(er) tests. Even beginning in the later 60s this seems to be the case from what little material I've seen of the newer variety.
