About PrepTest 120
Which section of PT 120 is experimental?
Section 4 (Logical Reasoning) is the experimental section on PrepTest 120. 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 120 from?
Most of PrepTest 120 was first given in October 2005. LSAC rebuilt it from two older tests, with no logic games: Sections 1–3 from PrepTest 47 (October 2005) and Section 4 from PrepTest 40 (June 2003).
