PrepTest 159 Reading Comprehension Data
PrepTest 159 is a new format LSAT PrepTest with no logic games section. Its Reading Comprehension sections come from the February 2024 LSAT (Section 2) and the April 2025 LSAT (Section 4). These tests were originally administered in February 2024 and April 2025. Section 2 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.
