In general, for Logic Games execution, I am curious do most write directly on their base diagram or create local diagrams incorporating the new inference specific to the question? For some games when I split the board I don’t see this as much of an issue (although it still can be), but when I have one base diagram I find myself erasing a lot as I move to the next Q which inherently feels like I’m wasting time. Curious if others find it more efficient to draw up a whole new diagram or erase from the base and fill in the new inference for each subsequent Q. I feel like erasing causes me to lose work I can refer back to later, but writing out whole new diagrams feels like it can take up time as well.

Hi all. I am considering taking the July 2019 LSAT which will be my first go. Given that it is the first launch of the digital version of the exam, I have some reservations. Mainly, I am afraid of the fact that since the majority of my studying will be on paper, I feel less prepared for a paperless exam. I am aware of the benefits of the exam (e.g. no bubbles!), but I still like to simulate as realistic a testing environment as possible.
Does anyone know if any of the PTs will be made digital so we can simulate tests in a realistic way?
I believe that for the first digital exam, testers will be allowed to see their score prior to accepting it. Is this a worthwhile tradeoff?
I haven't checked out the LSAC tutorials yet, but I'm sure they will be somewhat helpful.
Anyone else have similar concerns? Any advice or insight would be greatly appreciated!
I’m glad this conversation came up. I myself am married with an 8-month old on top of that. I’m planing on taking the LSAT this summer and have been studying since January. I also work full time. This is very daunting considering how much time and work is required to get a good score.
It can be a really tough balance. My wife has been really cool and supportive, but it’s still hard to balance especially considering I have limited time to devote to both studying and spending time with family/chores around the house.
I think first and foremost setting expectations up front is really helpful. Coming to some sort of agreement on when you will study, when will be chore time, and when will be relax time. For me I set about 2 hours after work every night fully devoted to studying. The rest of the time I either cook or help with our baby. Saturday I wake up early and study a little longer. It’s tough, but I also take Sunday completely off to fully devote to my wife and baby as well as knock out weekly chores.
The up front dialogue we had set the expectations about the realistic requirements for this test and have definitely helped. On top of that, the Sunday off really helps to keep me from burning out and not lose sight of the most important aspect of my life-my family.
Hope this helps. I think it’s definitely doable and I’ve heard others be successful under similar circumstances. You got this!
Thanks for the advice! For some reason this habit formed from the very first logic game I took, and I haven’t thought to address it since it seemed like a minor inconvenience at first. Now, it totally makes sense how writing out new diagrams is more efficient and yields higher accuracy. I’ll definitely start implementing this into my process. Thanks again!
