About PrepTest 130
Which section of PT 130 is experimental?
Section 3 (Logical Reasoning) is the experimental section on PrepTest 130. 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 130 from?
Most of PrepTest 130 was first given in September 2009. LSAC rebuilt it from two older tests, with no logic games: Sections 1, 2 and 4 from PrepTest 58 (September 2009) and Section 3 from PrepTest 50 (September 2006).
