How hard is PT 104?
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 104's curve is more forgiving than 34% of the new-format PrepTests, right in the middle.

About PrepTest 104
Which section of PT 104 is experimental?
Section 2 (Reading Comprehension) is the experimental section on PrepTest 104. 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 104 from?
Most of PrepTest 104 was first given in December 1998. LSAC rebuilt it from two older tests, with no logic games: Sections 1, 3 and 4 from PrepTest 27 (December 1998) and Section 2 from PrepTest 20 (October 1996).
