How hard is PT 105?

Its questions are easier than most, and the curve makes up for it. LSAC sets each test's curve so a score means the same thing on every test: the harder the questions, the more you can miss for the same score. PT 105's curve is stricter than 99% of the new-format PrepTests, so expect a higher raw score than usual, not a higher LSAT score.

About PrepTest 105

Which section of PT 105 is experimental?

Section 2 (Logical Reasoning) is the experimental section on PrepTest 105. It's unscored: it's there so the test has four sections, like the real LSAT, but it doesn't count toward your score. The other three sections make up the 77 scored questions.

When is PT 105 from?

Most of PrepTest 105 was first given in February 1999. LSAC rebuilt it from two older tests, with no logic games: Sections 1, 3 and 4 from SuperPrep PrepTest B (February 1999) and Section 2 from PrepTest 20 (October 1996).
