About PrepTest 149
Which section of PT 149 is experimental?
Section 4 (Logical Reasoning) is the experimental section on PrepTest 149. 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 149 from?
Most of PrepTest 149 was first given in December 2017. LSAC rebuilt it from two older tests, with no logic games: Sections 1–3 from PrepTest 83 (December 2017) and Section 4 from PrepTest 72 (June 2014).
