LSAT Logic Games Bible Notes(1) Introduction [complete] Overview of LSAT: Sections: Logical Reasoning (2 sections of 24-26 question each) Reading Comprehension (1 section of 26-28 questions) Analytical Reasoning (i.e., logic games); 1 section 23-24 questions) Experimental Section (one of the above 3 types) Writing Sample (30 min) Time = 35 min for each section; 10-15 min break between section 3 and 4 Scoring = about 101 questions yielding a 120-180 Each logic game contains: (a) Scenario (b) Rules (c) 5-8 Questions Approach to logic game questions: (a) Read through and fix rules in mind (b) Diagram scenario and rules (according to the best type of set up) (c) Make inferences (d) Use the rules and inferences to attach the questions(2) Linear Games What is linearity? Where we fix the position and order variables; there is always one set of variables chosen as the base and diagrammed as a straight line (either vertical or horizontal) Representing Rules the how to (a) Not-Laws these say where a variable can NOT be placed; use the letter in the right place crossed out (b) Blocks these are fixed spatial relation btw variables(3) Advanced Linear Games(4) Grouping Games(5) Grouping + Linear Games(6) Pattern Games(7) Other Games(8) Advanced Techniques(9) Strategy
