I think its that coupled with the LSAT getting tougher and evolving - and lesser options to btain quality prep material, coupled with increasing information gaps.
For example, Logic Games has changed for what its worth. I think the days of preaching to future takers aiming for -0 are done.
The tests are getting harder?
Yes.
I talked to some respected tutors in the LSAT tutor world who have confirmed this to me.
Some people on this sub will claim that " No it's not, the test hasn't gotten harder" Rubbish. Its definitely gotten harder. Logic Games is clear.
People will go on and say, no that last game yesterday wasn't that complex, it just induced panic. But the panic is part of what makes it harder. Also, the painting game was a hybrid/grouping matching games of about 7 questions. If you didn't make one key deduction - you were forced to draw templates and brute force it. Very difficult section, i think most super high scores are underestimating its difficulty.
RC - With the level of inference questions yesterday, RC has evolved from its original standpoint as well. From the late 50s on, its been pretty much the same, but the difficulty from the original 40 first prep tests is nowhere near as difficult as the RC sections now.
LR - Harder due to question ordering. You're much more likely to get a difficult question early ( sometimes even two in the early sections) This balancing was DEFINITELY evident during yesterdays 2nd LR section. Again are the questions harder per se?? No. But the ordering under time pressure does indeed make it harder.
