LSAC has just added additional practice materials to Lawhub! This is great news for students who are short on LSAT practice materials. They have added 44 sections of logical reasoning materials and 22 sections of reading comprehension materials.
The source of these materials are the unconverted preptests which LSAC did not convert into the new format. In a nutshell, until August 2024 LSAC had preptests numbered 1-94. When LSAC removed logic games, they switched formats and released 58 new format preptests numbered 101-158.
However, 22 legacy preptests were not converted. These were the oldest of the LSAT preptests, administered between June 1991 and October 1997. LSAC had not previously released this material on Lawhub as a small number of the questions were not constructed up to modern standards.
With this release, LSAC has removed the questions that did not pass muster. The remaining questions are all valid sources of additional practice.
How to Use the Additional Practice Material on Lawhub
You can use the additional practice material to drill logical reasoning and reading comprehension. This lets you save newer material for full timed preptests. These additional drills are a substantial addition. There are ~5,800 questions in the new format preptests. These unconverted additional practice sets add roughly ~1300 extra questions to practice with, letting you save newer material for full timed work.
Can I use this additional material as full timed preptests?
Not on Lawhub. You may be able to use it for full timed tests on various licensee sites. If the legacy tests are available for this purpose, these can be a good source of added practice if you completely run out of new preptests.
However, if you are just starting I would save newer tests for full timed PTs and use this older material for drills instead.
Are these tests numbered the same as the legacy format preptests?
Not at present. With the removal of some questions, LSAC has changed the numbering of these sections. My hope is that LSAC renumbers these for historical consistency.
