LSAC Just Changed the LSAT… The Experimental Section Is GONE (August 2027)

The LSAT is changing. LSAC just announced that starting with the August 2027 LSAT, the standalone experimental section is going away. The unscored questions will be mixed into the three scored sections instead. Here's what's changing, who it actually affects, and my first thoughts as a tutor. 💬 Got questions about the new format?

What's changing (starting August 2027): • 3 sections instead of 4. Everyone starts with Reading Comprehension, then two Logical Reasoning sections • RC: 52 min, 6 passages, 40 questions (27 scored, 13 unscored) • Each LR: 45 min, 32 questions (25 scored, 7 unscored) • Two 10-minute breaks • The scored questions, time per question and the 120–180 scale stay the same • New-format practice tests on LawHub in February 2027 Testing before August 2027? This likely doesn't change anything for you. ⏱️ Chapters: 0:00 The LSAT Is Changing 0:38 What LSAC Announced 1:15 The New 3-Section Format 2:26 My Honest Take 3:12 Accommodations & LR 4:04 Does This Affect You? 5:41 What's Next 📚 Resources I recommend: • 7Sage: https://7sage.com/r/stevanblauert • LSAT Demon is another great option 📘 Free 58-page LSAT & law school admissions guide + 1-on-1 tutoring (paid, with different packages and price points): https://stevanlsatprep.com Follow along: YouTube:    / @stevanlsatprep   TikTok:   / stevanlsatprep   Instagram:   / stevanlsatprep   Reddit:   / lsatstevan   #LSAT #LSAC #LawSchool #LSATPrep
