About PrepTest 148
Which section of PT 148 is experimental?
Section 3 (Logical Reasoning) is the experimental section on PrepTest 148. 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 148 from?
Most of PrepTest 148 was first given in December 2016. LSAC rebuilt it from two older tests, with no logic games: Sections 1, 2 and 4 from PrepTest 80 (December 2016) and Section 3 from PrepTest 72 (June 2014).
