LSAT Question Difficulty Variety

When doing the drills and problem sets I find myself obviously doing worse with the tougher questions (4/5 degree difficulty). Since I have no prior attempts on the LSAT and have only taken one PT, I am unsure how common these very difficult questions are on the real test. Can someone with prior test experience explain the difficulty variation on the exam? Is it a lot of 4/5 difficulty questions or usually 1/2/3 difficulty with some tougher (4/5) questions mixed in?

    1/2/3 difficulty questions are more common, but each test has some 4/5 difficulty questions. It varies pretty greatly by test, but a general distribution may be something like 4 level 4 questions and 3 level 5 questions per LR section, one level 4 passage and one level 5 passage per RC section, and one level 5 game with one level 3 or 4 game per LG section. Again, though, I must emphasize how rough these estimates are. Some tests may have one unusually easy section, with an unusually low amount of high-difficulty questions, and they may compensate for that section with an unusually difficult section, with an unusually high amount of high-difficulty questions.

    Thank you so much, this really helped! I was under the assumption that the 4/5 difficulty was basically the entire exam and that 7sage only used 1/2/3 to gear us up for the tougher questions.

    Thank you again!
