How to foolproof correctly?

_ _ _ _ _

Hi everyone,

I am confused about how long I should be waiting between doing a game and then repeating that same game. In the foolproof method video, JY seems to imply that you do the game back to back, over and over in the same sitting/day.

Do you prefer to do the same game multiple times in one day or wait 24+ hours before repeating the game?

Thanks!

I personally would give myself a break and redo the games the next day after taking a PT or game section.

My strategy was doing them about half an hour later and multiple times the day after. I really tried to memorize the rules and the routine of how to write the rules, combine rules, and pick out inferences. I would do this if I struggled on first attempts.

Do your best to work through games without JYs video first and not just mindlessly chug through games. There are like 90 tests with 4 games each, so 360ish games. That is not so many. You will get through them way faster than you think. While brute memorization is useful if you can realize how to take rules from one game to another, just memorizing games won't be useful because you will never see that exact game again.

No problem. I would also try to chain the rules and write out the possibilities (split game boards). Try and see if there are patterns in the rules, and the patterns can be applied across games. First, answer CBT questions as you are given a premise (condition) to work with, then MBT/MBF questions (think globally must be true/must be false in all given situations), and then tackle substiution type questions. Good luck studying. Keep at it.

Thank you @Magnificent2021. I'll try implementing those tips.

@EagerestBeaver yeah, half an our seems like a good period to wait. I'll try that! Good point abou running out of games. I should probably keep that in mind because I am terrible at games lol and I wouldn't want to run out before mastering them. Thanks for the advice!
