About PrepTest 109

Which section of PT 109 is experimental?

Section 4 (Logical Reasoning) is the experimental section on PrepTest 109. 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 78 scored questions.

When is PT 109 from?

Most of PrepTest 109 was first given in December 2000. LSAC rebuilt it from two older tests, with no logic games: Sections 1–3 from PrepTest 33 (December 2000) and Section 4 from PrepTest 22 (June 1997).
