Practice Test 13?

Hey guys,

I just took this practice test and, completely out of the blue, pulled a 179. Usually I average around a 175, so I was surprised.

Because of the score, I am now considering taking the LSAT in February (instead of waiting until June, which was my original plan). Before I consider this though, I want to know if 13 is considered easier than most other tests. When I was taking it I got the sense that it was easier (though the last logic game had the potential to be a little tricky).

Because it is an earlier test, does that mean it is significantly easier than the more recent ones? Again, on more recent ones I average a 175, so getting 179 was completely unexpected.

Thanks,

Helicio

4 points is not that big a variation.

especially when you’re scoring that high

It seems to me that getting a score in the 175-180 range comes down to luck. I feel that on this PT the main thing that happened differently was that on those inevitable questions where it comes down to two, I was lucky enough to guess correctly.

Is that right, or nah?

that’s correct IMHO.

and it may not necessarily be due to ‘luck’ … possibly just not making ‘silly’ mistakes?

You know they say that the lower the PT number, the easier the test.

Nah, I actually have no idea. It was to my understanding that you should be guaging your capability with the newer tests rather than the older tests. If you’re already at a 175 though, you should just take it.

absolutely. but the older tests still have practice value (not assuming you didn’t know this, just saying)

I apparently cannot spell gauging.
