About PrepTest 145

Which section of PT 145 is experimental?

Section 3 (Reading Comprehension) is the experimental section on PrepTest 145. 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 145 from?

Most of PrepTest 145 was first given in December 2015. LSAC rebuilt it from two older tests, with no logic games: Sections 1, 2 and 4 from PrepTest 77 (December 2015) and Section 3 from PrepTest 61 (October 2010).
