How hard is PT 146?

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 146'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 146

Which section of PT 146 is experimental?

Section 2 (Logical Reasoning) is the experimental section on PrepTest 146. 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 146 from?

Most of PrepTest 146 was first given in June 2016. LSAC rebuilt it from two older tests, with no logic games: Sections 1, 3 and 4 from PrepTest 78 (June 2016) and Section 2 from PrepTest 81 (June 2017).
