  Yes: don't try to identify it.
  I wish there was any indication on which section is experimental but the truth is, trying to find out which it is will only cause damage to your test score. Your best bet is to take each section thinking it is the actual section. I've seen far too many people come out of the test saying "I bombed my score because I thought that LG section was experimental!"

  I agree, dont even try to id it during the test. It's too risky.

  But after the test come online and help us id it. We tell each other what questions we remember and try to figure out what it was.

  Yep. The risk just doesn't seem worth it. Even if I was 99% sure a section was experimental, I would still just recommend bitting the bullet and giving it 100%.

  No. No need for even trying to figure out what the experimental section is during the test.

  If there were a way to figure it out, there would be no point in having an experimental section.
  
  That said, statistically speaking, the scored sections usually add up to 101 questions. This isn't a great indicator, though, because often there are fewer, and occasionally there are more.
