LSAT Structure

Hey everyone, Im getting super confused regarding the new LSAT structure / format. I keep reading that LR counts for 50% or your total score because there are 2 LR sections. However, LSAC is now saying that: "Beginning with the August 2021 LSAT, the test will include three scored sections and one unscored section...The unscored section can be any one of the question types — reading comprehension, analytical reasoning, or logical reasoning — and can occur at any point in the test. The LSAT will retain this format for the next several years."

Since the unscored section doesn't have to be LR, does this mean that LR no longer counts for 50% of your score? Thank you!

LR no longer counts for 50%, since it only makes up 1/3 of the entire test now. There is one LR, one RC, and one LG. Then there's the unscored 4th section that could be any of them
