  Make sure you're solid on the games from the 70s, circular and pattern games from the earlier PTs (the LSAC loves throwing curve balls), and any odd games you've had trouble with in the past- hopefully you have some sort of data on the games you've done. Good luck!

  can anyone suggest the more relevant game to go over I'm taking the June 2016 test and really want to focus on what it might be on the test versus all of the games
  

  Make sure your circle games are on point. One appeared on last February's experimental.
  
  Pattern games are, as always, fair game, but since we had a rather infamous one on December, I would be surprised to see one again so soon. BUT. It's important to master games of every type because all are always fair game, and LSAC loves to surprise us.

  Do you think that "circle" could be added as a feature of the question bank? I can only think of one or two circle games out there and this might be a good way to help us find them easily. Or do you have a few you can recommend @"Nicole Hopkins"

  I think the first ever Game in PT 1 was a circle game. Other than that, only one or two more that I’m familiar with, all very early on.
  
  The only thing that makes them tricky is they don’t really lend themselves to the creation of a master game board. You just kind of have to hammer it out for each question. Once I got over the discomfort of that, I didn’t have any further issues. They’re actually fairly easy, it’s just hard to stay calm because they’re so rare.

  @"Nicole Hopkins" are you allowed to say whether that circle game was on the difficult side or more like the one from PT1?

  I think 41 also has a circle game. I think those are the only 2. My guess is that we will get a mapping game in June, haven't gotten one of those in a really long time.

  @"Nicole Hopkins" oh, thought you sat for that test. Sorry bout that:)
  Also, do you think that LSAT may be introducing the pattern game as a regular game type, like grouping/ordering? Maybe theyre starting a trend where the game can appear on every other test, or something like that.

  Pattern games freak people out because of the initial shock factor. Their setups usually contain no starting point for inferences. You just have to start writing out hypotheticals.
  
  PT 77 G3
  PT20 G3
  PT23 G4
  
  Those are listed online. There are a couple more, but I don't have my LG binder with me right now.

  Very rare—ski chalets, Zephyr air is kind of a mapping game but secretly a grouping game, airplane radar/zones ... I would be shocked (actually shocked) if we see a mapping game, primarily because we have not heard of any appearing on experimental sections in many moons.
  
  There WAS a circle game on experimental section on Feb 2015 test. So circle games are expected.

  We can more or less tell which types of games are coming up in the next few years due to what has appeared on experimentals.
