PrepTest 40 Reading Comprehension Data

The Reading Comprehension section of PrepTest 40 was originally administered in June 2003. Note that PrepTest 40 is a legacy format test, which included logic games. LSAC converted this test into several modern format PrepTests, which use the same material except for logic games. Section 4 of this test became Section 2 of LSAT PrepTest 121.
