How hard is PT 135?
Its questions are harder 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 135's curve is more forgiving than 97% of the new-format PrepTests, so expect a lower raw score than usual, not a lower LSAT score.

About PrepTest 135
Which section of PT 135 is experimental?
Section 2 (Logical Reasoning) is the experimental section on PrepTest 135. 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 78 scored questions.
When is PT 135 from?
Most of PrepTest 135 was first given in December 2011. LSAC rebuilt it from two older tests, with no logic games: Sections 1, 3 and 4 from PrepTest 65 (December 2011) and Section 2 from PrepTest 52 (September 2007).
