About PrepTest 136

Which section of PT 136 is experimental?

Section 3 (Reading Comprehension) is the experimental section on PrepTest 136. 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 136 from?

Most of PrepTest 136 was first given in June 2012. LSAC rebuilt it from two older tests, with no logic games: Sections 1, 2 and 4 from PrepTest 66 (June 2012) and Section 3 from PrepTest 52 (September 2007).
