What is the Experimental Section and do I need to write it?
The Experimental Section of the LSAT is simply an additional section that will be one of the 3 types listed above. It will either be Logical Reasoning, Analytical Reasoning, or Reading Comprehension. The experimental section is not identified as such on the LSAT so you have no idea which one it is during the LSAT. The experimental section will not be included in your LSAT score but since there is no way to tell for sure which section is the experimental section you must complete it. The experimental section is used by the makers of the LSAT to test out new questions and new question types to determine how difficult they are for LSAT writers. It also serves to make the test longer and more challenging. The experimental section almost always occurs as one of the first 3 sections of the test.
