Method to Master LG

joseigsaldana

Hey guys. I need you advice. After doing many PT's I have realized that I just need to focus/master my LG section in order to break into the 170s since I have been doing consistently well in LR and RC. I have read several methods, which one has worked for you? Thanks so much!

@joseigsaldana the one that worked for me was solving a tonne of games by type... that is really it... everyone who takes the LSAT can have 22 marks for the taking if they practice games properly... and PRACTICE is indeed the key... games, games and more games... and oh by the way... did I forget to mention games? Games before breakfast, before and after lunch and before and after dinner... try this for 4 - 5 days... but remember... by type so say sequencing on day 1 sequencing with a twist on day 2, In-out on day 3, grouping on day 4 and the variations on grouping on day 5... then on the 6th day throw in 4 - 10 mixed sets... you'll be a games machine by the end of this exercise or at least a decent solver by the end of it.. but remember to drill your other sections on those days too... this got me from a - 12 - 10 to a -3/-4

Nilesh, did you use the games from the Logic Games Bundle on this site or did you obtain games from elsewhere? I'm not sure I can afford the biggest package 7Sage offers (I'm currently using the standard package).

I used the games from the biggest package here... but if you get the logic games bible, then there are game types from each prep-test listed at the back, you can pull those from earlier PTs, create your own sets and use them and if you want to do them in test format, then check the following post by anne2hoang where she lists 5 recent PTs with the all the game types in them that you can use for practice: http://7sage.com/discussion/#/discussion/comment/4528 Alternatively, I could give you a list of games to pull from tests. say 10 - 15 odd of each type.

Totally agree. Just keep practicing. Slowly, at first, to get the concepts down, building speed as you get better at mastering them.

Accuracy builds speed, speed doesn't build accuracy - don't forget it!

You don't have to buy the logic game bible just to get the categories. If your simply looking for a list of games by type then here are some links.
Note: the name categories are the same as from logic game bible, which is slightly different from 7sage.

Listen to everything JY tells you.
Everything, especially with games, Its my best section and i was still at -4 and -5 and managed to get it to -1 and -0 at the end of 2 weeks because of JY's fool proof method and I've used every method out there, his is by far the best.
