About PrepTest 118

Which section of PT 118 is experimental?

Section 3 (Logical Reasoning) is the experimental section on PrepTest 118. 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 118 from?

Most of PrepTest 118 was first given in December 2004. LSAC rebuilt it from two older tests, with no logic games: Sections 1, 2 and 4 from PrepTest 45 (December 2004) and Section 3 from PrepTest 32 (October 2000).
