For April and June: final list of pre-August 2024 section difficulties

Throughout my LSAT journey, I have referred constantly to this post, which noted the most difficult individual PT sections in all three pre-August 2024 LSAT components. I wanted to follow up on it with updates and remarks that I believe may benefit those taking the April and/or June 2024 LSATs.

Most difficult LSAT sections according to 7Sage Analytics, as of March 2024:

LOGIC GAMES:
5-star: 27, B, C, 34, 88
4-star: 5, 18, A, 30, 31, 35, 62

LOGICAL REASONING:
5-star: 5-S1, 7-S4,17-S2, 17-S3, F97-S1, 23-S3, 28-S1
4-star: 1-S3, 3-S4, 4-S1, 5-S3, 8-S1, 8-S4, 9-S2, 10-S4, 11-S4, 12-S4, 14-S2, 14-S4, 18-S2, 21-S3, F97-S3, 22-S4, 24-S2, 26-S2, 27-S1, 28-S3, 33-S1, 39-S2, 45-S1, 62-S2, 69-S4, 70-S4, 71-S3, 72-S2, 76-S2, 78-S1, 81-S2, 84-S3

READING COMPREHENSION:
5-star: 30, 65, 74, C2, 79, 84
4-star: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 13, 15, 18, 19, 21, F97, 26, 27, 28, 31, 32, 33, 35, 38, 43, 45, 47, 48, 50, 51, 53, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 73, 75, 76, 78, 81, 82, 83, 85, 86, 87, 89, 90, 91

A couple of remarks:

  • Where are PTs 92-94? Those PTs have all their sections ranked 3 stars or lower (in some cases, even as low as 1 star!)
  • Will RC be just as difficult in April and June? I would say yes. Given how many 4- and 5-star difficulty sections have come up since the 60s range, I would recommend against neglecting RC and perhaps even going through one 4- or 5-star passage on each of your study days (you can do that by generating drills with passage difficulty set to "Hardest")
  • Should I be going out of my way to challenge myself with older 4- or 5-star difficulty sections? It depends. A lot of the LR sections listed above have outdated question forms and may be better for pure question type drilling. On the other hand, I did not reach a consistent -0 on LG until challenging myself with doing the PT A, B, and C LG sections timed and becoming exposed to all sorts of complex game formulations. It's really up to you and what your goals are
