Is it possible to change the settings for when I take a practice test to get rid of the experimental section?

I understand why you'd want to take the PT without the experimental, like to get your score which excludes the unscored part anyways, but note that the experimental is just as worthwhile study material as the other sections since they all come from actual old format PTs. Plus, the actual test will too have an experimental section so it makes sense to be familiar with the timing and pacing, and getting used to focusing throughout the full length of the test. Indeed there's no actual reason to PT without an experimental section, and doing that would actually give you a less realistic view of what taking the actual exam is like. While your score on any one PT might make you feel good (or bad), but isn't ever a definitive indicator of your level. It's much more insightful to see what kinds of questions you miss and why, and if you're getting better or faster on question types you previously struggled with.
Hi there,
Sorry, right now, the new site doesn’t yet support scoring PrepTests with only three sections, but that feature is on our roadmap for a future update.
A hack is if you figure out what section is experimental for the PT you're about to take and then skip that section. Your score will be correct but your analytics will get messed up.​
