About PrepTest 151
Which section of PT 151 is experimental?
Section 4 (Logical Reasoning) is the experimental section on PrepTest 151. 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 151 from?
Most of PrepTest 151 was first given in September 2018. LSAC rebuilt it from two older tests, with no logic games: Sections 1–3 from PrepTest 85 (September 2018) and Section 4 from PrepTest 81 (June 2017).
