PrepTest 157 Reading Comprehension Data
PrepTest 157 is a new format LSAT PrepTest with no logic games section. Its Reading Comprehension sections come from PrepTest 93 (Section 1) and PrepTest 91 (Section 4). These tests were originally administered in June 2020 and May 2020. Section 4 is the experimental section, which does not count toward your score. It is included so you can simulate a four-section practice test - the questions themselves are no different in style from the scored sections.
