About PrepTest 152
Which section of PT 152 is experimental?
Section 2 (Logical Reasoning) is the experimental section on PrepTest 152. 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 76 scored questions.
When is PT 152 from?
Most of PrepTest 152 was first given in November 2018. LSAC rebuilt it from two older tests, with no logic games: Sections 1, 3 and 4 from PrepTest 86 (November 2018) and Section 2 from PrepTest 82 (September 2017).
