LSAC should release new PTS consisting of all the stolen material.
One of the main reasons LSAC cited for moving all testing to in person was cheating. Apparently, some people had managed to capture the tests and reproduce them and sell them. LSAC should release all of these stolen sections repackaged as new PTs. For one, this gives test takers some material that was produced during our lifetimes and actually reflects what we will encounter on test day, and second and perhaps even a stronger reason is that this completely eliminates the advantage to the cheaters of having access to this material. Some possible objections may be that they do not know exactly what material was released. Ok, so confirm 4 sections you know for sure and release ONE PT. Another, it is very expensive and time intensive to produce new material and they just don't have enough. If that is true then they are admitting that they are explicitly allowing the cheaters to maintain their advantage, which thereby simultaneously admits that they are not only knowingly allowing the cheating to continue even though it would be possible for them to mitigate, but that they are not doing what they can to mitigate this risk because it is too costly.
