Hey y'all—

As you know, I'm a big LSAT nerd. I love LSAT and I love LSATters. 7sage is a huge part of my life. Some of my most important contacts and favorite buddies have come through this forum. So, I'm looking for a way to give back ... and to give you what you want. Or rather, to ask you what you want, and then figure out a way to give it to you (or to find someone who can!).

To that end, I wanted to open up 7sage's own TRL (Total Request Live, for those of you who may have blocked out the glory that was Carson Daly from 1998-2008).

    ... but seriously, I'd like to see something on appropriate prep for the changing LG landscape.

    Hi Nicole. Thanks for opening this discussion and taking request. The Logic Game Boards Cheat Sheet is pretty awesome, yet I have been thinking how it could become even more awesome and then I came across your post.

    I know that "at least" is a key word for 'Grouping Game Board with a chart' as well as "sequence" and "order" being key words for the 'Standard Sequencing Game board'. This led me to wonder if there are other identifying words or word patterns for each of the other examples given on the 'Logic Game Boards Cheat Sheet'?" I think it would be more awesome to add identifying words or word patterns to the already pretty awesome cheat sheet. What do you think?

    I'd caution against that since there are several games where they disguise the verbiage and so rather than trying to make up rules you really just need to focus on parsing out what the stimulus and rules are telling you.

    @Pacfico thank you for the caution, and I agree that parsing out what the stimulus and rules are saying is key. I also see that the reasoning you expressed is true in some cases, but using an identifying word or word pattern (not rule) might be helpful in some other cases, possibly? Maybe using an identifying word or word pattern could lead some to other exercises that sharpen our ability to identify underlying verbiage that's disguised.

    It's more that certain words should be red flags to get you to think in a certain direction rather than guiding you down that path. "At least" is a great example of this since it is a great chart signifier but not a fool proof one.

    Similarly, "not both" can be used in a way that be applied to just about any type of game whether it be sequencing or grouping in nature, so context is very important.

    Love cheat sheets, would it be possible to create one for LR?

    @StopLawying I think @blah170blah ’s LR guide is pretty good. It’s consistent with 7Sage but has some other nuggets in there: http://7sage.com/discussion/#/discussion/2901/lsat-study-guide-primer

    There could certainly be collaborative cheat sheets ! @blah170blah what do you say? Want to become printable?

    @ Pacifico I see where you are coming from, and I agree that context is very important. I asked in an effort to better one tool among the litany of tools that our community has. Would it be possible to have a section of all the tools created and used by the community?

    Just wanted to share that the LSAT Trainer has some infographics up on their site: http://www.thelsattrainer.com/lsat-prep-tips.html

    Don't want you guys to do extra work if it's already there! Excellent resources to have!

    And thank you @nicole.hopkins for offering to do this!

    Yup—been a huge fan of @mike 's site/work for ... Wow, a year and a half now! Good stuff over there, for sure.

    Looks like there's some interest in tracking sheets for drilling/problem sets (Excel). Any particular requests/thoughts on those?

    I am wondering when the next RC seminar is coming up. In your previous RC seminar, you said there might be the second video coming up for inferences only, showing how to stitch together parts of the passage to find the correct inference. I would really love to see a seminar on that!

    @nicole.hopkins i would LOVE for you to do an article or a video or a SOMETHING on conditional logic. i've gone over JY's videos and the LSAT trainer and i cannot for the life of me figure this stuff out. I love all your comments though and you have a different way of thinking so maybe you could help!?!?! anyway, that's my request :)

    I took a few pts and my scores are pretty far from where id like them to be. I know it takes time and aloooooooot of fundamental review, but it would be great if you gave us tips on how to approach studying after we br and pt with a focus on low scorers/people who just started pting.

    Seriously though, im so thankful for everything you guys do for the community.
