How hard is PT 132?
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 132's curve is more forgiving than 97% of the new-format PrepTests, so expect a lower raw score than usual, not a lower LSAT score.

About PrepTest 132
Which section of PT 132 is experimental?
Section 3 (Reading Comprehension) is the experimental section on PrepTest 132. 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 79 scored questions.
When is PT 132 from?
Most of PrepTest 132 was first given in December 2010. LSAC rebuilt it from two older tests, with no logic games: Sections 1, 2 and 4 from PrepTest 62 (December 2010) and Section 3 from PrepTest 51 (December 2006).
