How hard is PT 121?
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 121's curve is stricter than 91% of the new-format PrepTests, so expect a higher raw score than usual, not a higher LSAT score.

About PrepTest 121
Which section of PT 121 is experimental?
Section 2 (Reading Comprehension) is the experimental section on PrepTest 121. 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 79 scored questions.
When is PT 121 from?
Most of PrepTest 121 was first given in December 2005. LSAC rebuilt it from two older tests, with no logic games: Sections 1, 3 and 4 from PrepTest 48 (December 2005) and Section 2 from PrepTest 40 (June 2003).
