Is LSAT-Flex Harder?

Will LSAT-Flex be harder? Will it have tougher questions? I don't see why it would.

They are looking to make this experience, overall, equal in difficulty to other administrations of the LSAT, whether the digital tablet LSAT or the older (and international) paper and pencil LSAT. 

Theoretically, if the online at-home LSAT-Flex were such an easier experience -- doing three sections, not five, the comfort of your own home ---

And if students performed significantly better on the LSAT-Flex --

would LSAC have to include more difficult questions to account for that? 

Maybe.

However, I'm not entirely convinced that it would be that much easier, for the average student, to the point that it would require including much more difficult questions. 

If anything, they'd provide questions of roughly equal difficulty, and then they might adjust the raw score conversions a little bit. In other words - you'd need to get more questions correct to get a particular scale score out of 180. 

I'm not sure there would be such a difference in performance, to warrant that. Remember that, this is not a content change. The difficulty of the questions should be the same -- it's only the delivery mechanism that is different.
