As we know that in LSAT, some questions will be for future tests and will not be scored. How to find them? Any indicator to find??

that's a gamble. Though, if you have a games section as your first section and a games section as your last section. The first section is the experimental.

You have to cheat. No way to do it without cheating.

You will only be able to know which is the experimental in a few cases, and even then you won't know until after you've done it.

If you have logic games as section 1, 2, or 3, and then have it again as 4 or 5, the first logic games section was the experimental.
If you have RC as section 1, 2, or 3, and then have it again as 4 or 5, the first RC section was the experimental.
If you have LR as section 1, 2, or 3, and then have it again for both 4 and 5, the first LR section was the experimental.

Since it's against the rules to look ahead at later passages, you can't know that a section is experimental, since you won't be able to tell whether RC/LG/LR comes up again later, and where, and how frequently. Do not cheat. It's wrong and you'll get caught and you'll get your shit handed to you by LSAC. You just have to treat each one as real.

Yeah you can cheat. Not really worth it though.
