About PrepTest 102

Which section of PT 102 is experimental?

Section 3 (Logical Reasoning) is the experimental section on PrepTest 102. It's unscored: it's there so the test has four sections, like the real LSAT, but it doesn't count toward your score. The other three sections make up the 77 scored questions.

When is PT 102 from?

Most of PrepTest 102 was first given in June 1998. LSAC rebuilt it from two older tests, with no logic games: Sections 1, 2 and 4 from PrepTest 25 (June 1998) and Section 3 from PrepTest 19 (June 1996).
