I'm having a tough time learning logic games.

I started with 7Sage sequencing and moved to LSAT Demon around the time I got to grouping. JY's explanations are methodical and he seems to go rule by rule, although sometimes I find his methods hard to follow. LSAT Demon has a tendency to solve them by completing all worlds and combining rules logically/intuitively. Overall, the approaches are fairly different. I'm not even sure which methods make the most sense to me.

I understand logic games are known for being the most foreign yet most learnable, but I'm feeling a bit paralyzed. I almost feel more confused as time goes by. I really need to get a grip on these before the LSAT in June.

Does anyone here have suggestions or methods that worked for learning logic games?

Anyone have experience with both 7Sage and LSAT Demon logic games?

I would be especially grateful of advice from anyone who previously struggled with logic games and vastly improved.

I'm applying to Law Schools now, my apps went complete in early January after winter break, and have been a little discouraged by my results...

I applied to 5 schools. Some were definitely reaches but there were one or two where I felt like I was a match. My stats are 164 and 3.1 (in finance) and I have been working at a prestigious company in the SouthEast for a year.

I've been R/WL by schools where I'm about 25-40th percentile LSAT. I know I'm on the below avg side there and my GPA is way lower, but I had hoped my UG leadership might make up for that.

Does anyone have any intel or hunches about whether a strong resume is just not exceptional enough to really help? I was SGA President of a 30,000 person student body (elected in a vote of 10,000+) among other strong leadership positions, and was able to make connections that should serve as impressive rec's.

Trying not to feel discouraged... the cycle isn't over!!

Should I be taking the test, doing BR same day, and then go from there to see what I need to improve on? Or is it better to do BR after a few days? Trying to study for the June test and don't really know the best approach. Any advice is appreciated!

HELP

If a logic game has a logical and global question combined. How do I go about it with the rules? Let's say we have 6 kinds of food... k,l,m,o,t,z. Each is added once on a scale of 1-6.

IF the M is 3rd then the L is last

IF Z is 1st then L is added before the O

Neither T nor K is 5

M before T or K but not before both.

One question said-- If the lentils are added last, then which one of the following must be true?

but we see the if the L is last then M is 3rd?

idk im confused

Help

I'm wondering if anyone has advice on how often one should be doing drills and PTs when early on in their studies. I've been studying for about a month and about to take my second PT and have done one drill. I see some people doing drills every single day. I also hear from people that PTs are valuable later on in your studies rather than too early.

What does drill/PT frequency look like for you, earlier on vs closer to test date? I plan to study for about 6-8 months. Thanks for any input.

Is the idea that this is a one premise argument where answer choice (A) just contraposes to the desired conclusion? That is, are we to assume that "All rich farmers are dishonest" and "Every honest farmer is poor" are logically equivalent, and that "Every honest farmer is poor" thus serves as a sufficient assumption for "All rich farmers are dishonest?"

This is a Must be false question.

I have a difficult time making two different diagrams about the conditions.

[ Chelas and Stelma are required to leave their respective stations immediately to pursue any prisoner who attempts to escape from their sector. Furthermore, unless they are pursuing such a prisoner, Chelas and Stelma are forbiddened to leave their stations until their replacements have arrived. ]

My thought is 1. pursue any prisoner who attempts to escape -> C and S leave their sectors

2. ~forbbidened to leave stations until their replacements have arrived -> pursue prisoner

Can you help me to make right diagrams?

Hi,

I am working on my law school resume and would like to know if I should list all the honor societies, awards, and scholarships I received during my college years. I also did debate in college, and I received awards there too. As I type them down, it starting to look like a lot, and I do not want to come across as arrogant or pretentious. For context, some of this includes Honor Societies ( 4), (6) merit scholarships, 5 college awards, and (5) debate awards. (Even writing this sound pretentious). Should I delete some and just list the most important ones?

I appreciate any advice

Thank You :)
