How do I improve on the Logic Games portion of the LSAT?

Question

Practice. The best way to drastically improve your score is to practice as much as possible under the time constraints imposed by administration (assuming that you have the foundational understanding of the concepts). Time is a main point of concern for many test-takers. Doing as many questions as you can under the time constraints helps you see patterns in the questions and make the best educated guesses when time is severely limited.

Answer 1

The secret to Logic Games is all about your note-taking skills, as in your ability to map out the problems accurately on a piece of paper in the most time efficient way possible. This is the area of the test where having taken a formal logic class in college can really help, as much of the notation learned in that class can be carried over effectively. If you search online you can find many great resources to help teach you the notation skills necessary for tackling these problems in a time-efficient manner, or feel free to reach out to me or other tutors for more help. Good luck with studying for the LSAT!

Answer 2

Couldn't agree more! I would add that if you can get the "easy questions" down pat, aiming to do them in under 5 minutes, you free up a lot more time to take on the harder questions. For this reason, I highly recommend narrowing your practice for the first month to only the basics. You don't need to be the fastest logic gamer on the planet if you have 10 minutes per difficult question!
