About PrepTest 128
Which section of PT 128 is experimental?
Section 1 (Reading Comprehension) is the experimental section on PrepTest 128. 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 128 from?
Most of PrepTest 128 was first given in December 2008. LSAC rebuilt it from two older tests, with no logic games: Sections 2–4 from SuperPrep II PrepTest C (December 2008) and Section 1 from PrepTest 50 (September 2006).
