I've been going through 7Sage's explanation for logic games and I noticed JY uses slots instead of columns. I previously took another LSAT course and they used columns for sequencing games.
I'm kinda habitually stuck always going back to columns. I was wondering what benefit there is to use the slots opposed to columns?
For those of you that use the slots, what benefit do you see? Is it faster/neater? Do you prefer that method to columns?

Thanks everyone!!
Boards are a tool, and only a tool. You should use whatever is most intuitive for you. If using a particular game board is hindering, rather than helping, your ability to comprehend and solve a game, then don’t use it.
I use left-to-right slots and I think it's easier just because it's faster to draw and it maps better (in my opinion) to common sequencing variations like days of a week or spatial arrangements. I only use up-and-down when a specific diagram makes sense that way (floors of a building, layers of a cake), and it always irks me when I end up with the leaning tower of Pisa as my game board. I also don't have to worry about how big I write with left-to-right slots; when its' up-and-down, you're inherently limited by the vertical space you leave, and if you don't leave enough it gets awkward.
But it ultimately doesn't matter - I've had plenty of students draw their diagrams 90 degrees rotated from what I do and be just fine. I mean, they're still WRONG. But hey, not everyone can be perfect like me (joking...)
I'm not really sure what you mean by columns. I've never seen sequencing games done that way. For grouping games, categories are typically organized into columns with slots for the items.
