Some great advice given here already. I'll just add that LG is not my forte either. I'm done with CC and in the middle of full proofing. One thing that has helped me is temporarily taking away the time factor until you notice things becoming more intuitive for you.

Since certain elements of LG likely have not clicked or meshed yet, making this adjustment will allow you to focus on honing skills more. It's usually said that finishing LG accurately and under time is a byproduct of skill-set anyway. While you do this, you can still keep time so you know where you stand.

@ very well put! I've found it to be personally true. What checklists basically do is provide structure so you're not aimlessly studying.

@ it automatically renewed once I registered for the LSAT.

I have a slightly different situation. I had a professor write me a LOR while I was still in undergrad thinking I was going to go straight into 1L. That didn't happen and I ended up putting those plans on hold about 6 years ago. Anyone know if it would be an issue if I use that same letter now considering it was dated and submitted to LSAC a good while ago? My senses tells me a letter shouldn't go stale but I'm interested in opinions.

@ also in!

@ My system has been to run a section until I am -0 and under time on each game. If I fall short, I watch the videos and then redo the game. I repeat this until I’ve got it.

This is great advice that I have been sticking to as well. I'm curious to know how you guard against answering questions from 'remembering' the game from the day before as opposed to flexing your inference muscles naturally.

@ Philz is the best, I haven't been to that one yet. I love coffee shops for drilling and BR and usually a library for PTs. LMU and UCLA are both pretty good for that. Maybe we could get a small group together and have a review session.

@ sit down and focus on nothing but logic games for an extended amount of time

I echo this. LG is an area you can improve on. Doing an LG 'mini-camp' where all of your attention is focused on drilling and BR will definitely result in positive gains. What's helping me is increasing reps and just visually seeing as many games as possible. A few of things that happen when you do this:

1) Allows you to go through the repetitive mental process which sharpens and improves inference-making ability.

2) Spot familiar trends among all games.

3) Be able to pin down a strategy that works for you (which questions to skip, etc.)

You can also weave in LR/RC in between as you see fit. Hope that helps.

Is anyone in the LA/OC area open to meeting periodically – could be either for PTing, BRing or general review? Was thinking it could be helpful to bounce concepts off one another. Just a thought.
