How hard is PT 144?

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 144'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 144

Which section of PT 144 is experimental?

Section 3 (Logical Reasoning) is the experimental section on PrepTest 144. 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 144 from?

Most of PrepTest 144 was first given in October 2015. LSAC rebuilt it from two older tests, with no logic games: Sections 1, 2 and 4 from PrepTest 76 (October 2015) and Section 3 from PrepTest 70 (October 2013).
