I've been doing logic games for about a month now, and overall I'm not struggling with them too much but they're definitely not my best out of the three sections. I trust that the foolproofing method must be a good way to get people's scores up, because obviously 7Sage wouldn't swear by it if it didn't work, but I'm really having a hard time wrapping my brain around it. I just don't find it useful because as soon as I've seen JY's explanation videos, I remember everything he says and all the right answers. This makes it very difficult to approach the game the next time as if I'm actually doing the game, and not just going through the motions to replicate what JY did. I just watched one of the videos where JY narrates a student going through a game in their foolproofing period, and in the game the student was not representing all the rules correctly or getting all the answers right, which makes me wonder if I should be approaching this differently because I always just do exactly what JY told us to do. I can do the games maybe twice after blind review and still feel like I'm getting a better understanding of them, but when JY says to get 10 copies of a game that just feels like it would be useless, because at that point I know the game so well that I don't even feel like I'm having to think about the right answers. It feels almost like confirmation bias? Like I already have in the back of my head what I'm looking for, so it doesn't feel like an accurate representation of what doing the games on test day will be like. Does that make sense? And if so, does anyone have any feedback or experiences to share that could help clarify this for me?
Thanks in advance!
i love this! i'd like to join!
