For me, the newer tests are easier in LR and Games but much much harder in RC. Many times Ive gotten -0 on RC on the older tests. But the LR seems trickier on the older tests. The games are slightly harder too.
I do think the newer tests are slightly harder. My theory is the scale has become slightly less generous over time as prep materials have gotten better and the games have become more of a science. Someone taking Prep Test 10 is probably better positioned to succeed on that exam today than was somebody taking it for the first time in the 90's.

I have been having the same issue. Not sure why...
The general consensus is that newer tests are more difficult. Or at least that's what I managed to find online.
The newer tests are harder in the sense that they get more nuanced in the LR and I found that LG was easier in the newer ones.
