How hard is PT 106?
Its questions are harder 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 106's curve is more forgiving than 91% of the new-format PrepTests, so expect a lower raw score than usual, not a lower LSAT score.

About PrepTest 106
Which section of PT 106 is experimental?
Section 2 (Logical Reasoning) is the experimental section on PrepTest 106. 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 78 scored questions.
When is PT 106 from?
Most of PrepTest 106 was first given in June 1999. LSAC rebuilt it from two older tests, with no logic games: Sections 1, 3 and 4 from PrepTest 28 (June 1999) and Section 2 from PrepTest 20 (October 1996).
