Practice LSAT RC Passages by Section- The Next 10 LSAT PrepTests 29-38

Question

In  GMAT Ninja 13-Week Study Plan (2024-25 ed.) , LSAT RC Passages are included as part of the weekly assignments. Several "10 LSAT PrepTests" books are recommended. While these physical books can still be found on marketplaces like eBay or Amazon, I've also seen comments from GMAT Club members outside of US that it's difficult/impossible or very expensive for them to get a hold on these books.

On the other hand, there are already a significant collection of LSAT RC passages (~380 passages, equivalent to about 10 books) available on GMAT Club. While the RC sub-forum has the nice filter function, it's not straight-forward to get to the exact 4 passages as in the individual sections in the book. Therefore I thought I would give it a try and see if I can compile the passages and "replicate" the book sections here.

Happy to report that I had the first success with the following book -  The Next 10 Actual, Official LSAT PrepTests , without any passage missing that I need to post it from the beginning. Below please find the Test number, Section, and links to the four passages within the Section:

Hi,

Unfortunately due to the sheer number (25 questions per section x 2 sections per test x 10 tests per book), it's too much of manual work so I did not do the LR/CR part.
