How hard is PT 113?

Its questions are easier 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 113's curve is stricter than 87% of the new-format PrepTests, so expect a higher raw score than usual, not a higher LSAT score.

About PrepTest 113

Which section of PT 113 is experimental?

Section 3 (Logical Reasoning) is the experimental section on PrepTest 113. 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 113 from?

Most of PrepTest 113 was first given in June 2002. LSAC rebuilt it from two older tests, with no logic games: Sections 1, 2 and 4 from PrepTest 37 (June 2002) and Section 3 from PrepTest 31 (June 2000).
