About PrepTest 154
Which section of PT 154 is experimental?
Section 1 (Logical Reasoning) is the experimental section on PrepTest 154. 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 154 from?
Most of PrepTest 154 was first given in September 2019. LSAC rebuilt it from two older tests, with no logic games: Sections 2–4 from PrepTest 88 (September 2019) and Section 1 from PrepTest 82 (September 2017).
