About PrepTest 103
Which section of PT 103 is experimental?
Section 1 (Logical Reasoning) is the experimental section on PrepTest 103. 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 77 scored questions.
When is PT 103 from?
Most of PrepTest 103 was first given in September 1998. LSAC rebuilt it from two older tests, with no logic games: Sections 2–4 from PrepTest 26 (September 1998) and Section 1 from PrepTest 19 (June 1996).
