The bottom line:
They include an unscored experimental section on the LSAT and don't tell you which one it is.
Because if you knew which one it was, you'd probably take a nap to recuperate between the sections you care about - the scored ones.
So, instead of practicing with 4 sections like you see in your LSAT exams, practice with 5 sections.
But which extra section do you use, and where do you it in your practice test?
Two main approaches:
1. Rotate the type of "extra" section you use.
2. Make the extra section(s) the one you like the least.
For most people, a combination of the two is probably best.
But if you want to get REALLY CRAZY... Add in 2 extra sections, making it a total of 6 sections.
Don't do this too often because you don't want to burn out.
But, for some of you crazies (and people pushing for super-high scores), it could be helpful to build endurance by doing one section more than you'll do on the actual test.
It's because I want to make sure you're thinking about these things. The checklists include all the little items and details students don't usually think of. They hold you accountable and help you make sure you're not missing anything.
In my next email, I'll share the techniques I used to stay motivated back when I was studying for the LSAT.

P.S. If you want to find out more about how to prepare for Test Day and make sure you're not missing anything, get the LSAT and Test Day checklists now. Nobody thinks it'll happen to them, but people experience significant "test day drops" ALL THE TIME.
