How many sections are there in the LSAT, excluding the unscored writing sample?

The LSAT consists of five sections that contribute to the scoring. These include three scored sections of multiple-choice questions, one unscored section that is either experimental or pretest, and one writing sample. While the writing sample is a required part of the LSAT, it is not scored and is therefore excluded from the total count of sections used for scoring purposes. This information confirms that the total number of sections relevant for scoring is five, which makes the chosen answer accurate.
