About PrepTest 129

Which section of PT 129 is experimental?

Section 1 (Logical Reasoning) is the experimental section on PrepTest 129. 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 129 from?

Most of PrepTest 129 was first given in June 2009. LSAC rebuilt it from two older tests, with no logic games: Sections 2–4 from PrepTest 57 (June 2009) and Section 1 from PrepTest 50 (September 2006).
