I know 7sage has difficulty ratings of all the LG sections, but is there something similar for CR/LR? I'm trying to figure out which final PTs to take before writing in June, and I'd like to take at least 2 of the harder overall tests (I've left most of the 70's available for this purpose) and an easier one to boost confidence before test day.

    Sept 16, Dec 15, Oct 15, Dec 14, Sept 14, June 14, Dec 13 are the tougher ones of the more recent exams.

    So basically, most of the newest tests are really tough..?

    Seems like 2014 was a rough year lol

    October 1997 is widely seen as the most difficult test. Granted it is old, but the curve was incredible : -4 for 180, -16 for 170.

    February 99 and Dec 98 are also very close in difficulty to Oct 97, but just a hair below.

    If you are only interested in recent tests, then the curve matters a lot less as they are all relatively close, all around -11 to -12 for 170's.

    Sept 16, Dec 15, Oct 15, Dec 14, Sept 14, June 14, Dec 13 are the tougher ones of the more recent exams.

    Man, that Oct 97 is beast! -16 for a 170 is insane!!

    Also a complete list of curves and distributions can be found on the Cambridge website.

    @dantlee14842 check out this thread. Someone was kind enough to compile a list of LSATs with nasty curves. I recommend bookmarking

    That's a great call Mellow, thanks so much! I've only been doing the LG from older tests, so I'll definitely check out the October 97 test. Super helpful info for the recent tests, too.

    In the Trends tab on the Analytics section, there are difficulty rankings of LR and RC sections. You could use that to find some of the more difficult sections. It's really more about your own personal weaknesses though. I'd just drill weaknesses and do some of the 70s series PTs.
