How hard is PT 150?
About average. 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 150's curve is more forgiving than 74% of the new-format PrepTests, right in the middle.

About PrepTest 150
Which section of PT 150 is experimental?
Section 4 (Reading Comprehension) is the experimental section on PrepTest 150. 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 77 scored questions.
When is PT 150 from?
Most of PrepTest 150 was first given in June 2018. LSAC rebuilt it from two older tests, with no logic games: Sections 1–3 from PrepTest 84 (June 2018) and Section 4 from PrepTest 81 (June 2017).
