The Logic Games Course will introduce to a manageable approach to:
- understanding the information presented (Introduction and Conditions)
- identifying (remember this is a multiple-choice test) the answers to the questions
The focus will be to teach a generalized approach that is applicable and can be used for ALL of the “so called” categories of games (sequencing, matching, grouping, etc).
You will be helped by an approach to those where you are having difficulty. The Logic Games Course has been designed to help you with the games where you are experiencing difficulty.
You can’t spin your wheels forever. It is common for people to read the conditions and not understand how they interact. In these circumstances, it is:
- impossible to draw a diagram
- impossible to make accurate inferences
1. Understanding The Conditions:
- the two broad issues – positioning (where do things go) and numbering (how many are we working with? Do we have too few? Too many? The right number?
- How does LSAT obscure the important information?
- How many inferences should you make? What are the common inferences?
2. Positioning –
- at what point should you draw diagram?
- how much should your diagram include?
- how drawing a diagram first may hurt your progress
- how it can help you to NOT start with the first question
- how to begin when you are not confident that you understand everything
3. Diagramming
– There are at least four aspects to diagramming. They are:- When to diagram – it is not always before you start the questions
- How – learn how to generate diagrams mechanically and flawlessly – how much should you include?
- How to read the diagrams once they are drawn – nobody ever pays attention to this
- How to use earlier diagrams to help with later questions
4. The Question Types – Regardless of the language, there are only three things that LSAT will ever ask
5. The Question Focus – Examples include:
- numbers, minimums, maximums, exact number, complete and accurate list
- no additional information (answer based only on the initial conditions)
- additional information added to the specific question for that question only
- changing the initial conditions
- list questions
6. The Answer Choices- how LSAT attracts you to wrong answers
- how LSAT disguises the right answer
- answer choices that include a separate built in reasoning test
- compound thought answer choices
- how conditional statements apply to “Grouping Games”
- how conditional statements can be used to properly interpret Logic Games conditions
These skills will taught in the context of actual LSAT Logic Games questions.
