How hard is PT 115?

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 115's curve is more forgiving than 82% of the new-format PrepTests, so expect a lower raw score than usual, not a lower LSAT score.

About PrepTest 115

Which section of PT 115 is experimental?

Section 1 (Reading Comprehension) is the experimental section on PrepTest 115. 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 115 from?

Most of PrepTest 115 was first given in December 2002. LSAC rebuilt it from two older tests, with no logic games: Sections 2–4 from PrepTest 39 (December 2002) and Section 1 from PrepTest 31 (June 2000).
