How hard is PT 126?
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 126's curve is stricter than 96% of the new-format PrepTests, so expect a higher raw score than usual, not a higher LSAT score.

About PrepTest 126
Which section of PT 126 is experimental?
Section 4 (Logical Reasoning) is the experimental section on PrepTest 126. 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 126 from?
Most of PrepTest 126 was first given in October 2008. LSAC rebuilt it from two older tests, with no logic games: Sections 1–3 from PrepTest 55 (October 2008) and Section 4 from PrepTest 42 (December 2003).
