PT 50--beginning of the major changes?I just took PT 50 and I felt like I did not even know how to complete the exam. I have familiarized myself with the test since December, but I felt …
And, if you did PT50 (Sept 2006), you haven't even gotten to the Comparative Passages era of LR. Another major shift; IMO, one for the better (I have the least problems on Comparative Passages, but others have different experiences). -

Which is harder: New LSATs (60+) vs old LSATs (35-50s)Do you guys know or think that the new LSATs are harder than the old ones?
I don't think the RC passages have gotten harder, but the answer choices are definitely a lot more trickier. I personally find the comparative passages to be much easier. -

I like the comparative passages too, @leonsmoney ! It's definitely easier for me to maintain my focus through two separate 2-paragraph passages as opposed to one long 4-paragraph one. -
Reading and ComprehenisionI was curious to know if there are any comparative reading passages for practice? So far from the lesson plan I have not seen any!
There aren't, because JY only uses old LSATs for the problem sets, to leave all the recent ones pristine for full length PT practice. The comparative passages were introduced in PT 52, and the problem sets use PT 1-38ish. -
Stuck (largely) in the low-170s over long period of time - focus on PTs and BR-ing or drills?I've been steadily and consistently studying for about two years for the LSAT, and I've managed to score in the low 170s a total of about ten times (…
