PrepTest 55 Data
PrepTest 55 was originally administered in October 2008. Note that PrepTest 55 is a legacy format test, which included logic games. LSAC converted this test into a modern format PrepTest, which uses the same material except for logic games. Sections 1, 2 and 3 of this PrepTest became LSAT PrepTest 126, along with Section 2 of PrepTest 42 as the unscored section.
Hi Graeme,
For the prep tests in the 50s, I’m noticing that I’m able to see explanations for the LR sections only. The page mentions that there are full explanations for every question so I just wanted to make sure that it wasn’t a technical issue on my end, thank you.
Whoops, that’s standard text I copy between all explanation pages. Was true for every set, but with launch added extra sets that didn’t have whole tests. I’ll have to add that to my edit list, thanks for pointing it out.
In meantime, you can tell which sets have which here: https://lsathacks.com/member-explanations/
Each of the headings generally say what’s in them.
Pre 19, 39-43 and 46-59 are lr only
19-38 and 60-81 are complete
82+ are mostly complete but some miss one section, these are labelled
Hope that helps!
