About PrepTest 124
Which section of PT 124 is experimental?
Section 2 (Logical Reasoning) is the experimental section on PrepTest 124. 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 124 from?
Most of PrepTest 124 was first given in December 2007. LSAC rebuilt it from two older tests, with no logic games: Sections 1, 3 and 4 from PrepTest 53 (December 2007) and Section 2 from PrepTest 41 (October 2003).
