About PrepTest 125
Which section of PT 125 is experimental?
Section 3 (Reading Comprehension) is the experimental section on PrepTest 125. 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 125 from?
Most of PrepTest 125 was first given in June 2008. LSAC rebuilt it from two older tests, with no logic games: Sections 1, 2 and 4 from PrepTest 54 (June 2008) and Section 3 from PrepTest 42 (December 2003).
