Not taking the LSAT until August; will learning Logic Games help me on LR and RC?

Will learning Logic Games help me understand logic better and do better on LR and RC?

While it may help you, it likely won't be as beneficial as just studying the sections that will actually be on the test. I personally am not studying them, and am strictly focusing on LR/RC, and have been steadily improving without LG. Sincerely, a soon to be August test taker.

Maybe, prob not. LG is a very specific set of skills that is very very weakly transferrable to the other "disciplines" the LSAT tests you on. If you're taking in August probably worth it to spend time on stuff that's actually gonna be on the test.

As an aside, much of the higher level knowledge that you're applying when solving LG is just elementary conditional logic, which you'll learn through JY's curriculum anyways. Almost anyone who can consistently score -0 on LG will tell you that the trick to LG is a strong grasp on conditional logic combined with astute pattern recognition.

I love logic games, but unfortunately, they will help you minimally on the other sections in my humble opinion. Someone already mentioned that they involve being familiar with conditionals, but there's no reason that has to be learned via LG.

Thanks guys, this was useful

Yeah, I don’t see how it will be more beneficial than working on LR and RC.
