About PrepTest 137

Which section of PT 137 is experimental?

Section 3 (Logical Reasoning) is the experimental section on PrepTest 137. 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 137 from?

Most of PrepTest 137 was first given in October 2012. LSAC rebuilt it from two older tests, with no logic games: Sections 1, 2 and 4 from PrepTest 67 (October 2012) and Section 3 from PrepTest 60 (June 2010).
