Is it better to take the domestic or international LSAT?

[lsatstudent2]

Since international LSATs are older are they different since logic games has gotten more average in difficulty?

Hi lsatstudent2,

A few points here. First, international LSATs are not necessarily "older."

The international LSAT may be a different exam than the domestic exam from that same administration. However, that's not always the case -- sometimes both international and domestic exams in a given administration have been the same. And even if the exams are different, different doesn't always mean older.

Also, older exams are also not necessarily more difficult. Remember that all LSATs are designed to be roughly equal, so when a test is logically harder, you get a looser scale. If a test is logically easier, then you get a tighter scale. So, in the long run, it offsets and brings everything to the middle

Thanks!
