Are you Team LG or Team LR?
LSATcantwin
Alum Member Sage ⭐
I'm curious as to why there seems to be such a clearly delineated set of camps on the LSAT.
There is team LG - Who think LG are the best thing on earth. This is where we can consistently go -0 in 28min and feel confident in our answers. We pray we get LG as our experimental section because we love them so much. LR makes us cringe a bit, we might be okay at it, but we sure could use some improvement.
Then there is team LR - LR just comes naturally to them. Typically going -2 or less a section they blow through LR. Finishing early with time to review. They love everything about LR, no question type really throws them for a loop and they always feel confident in their answers. LG make them cringe a bit, they can get through the games but never with confidence and miss a fair chunk of points here.
I've been around these forms, Reddit and a couple of others and it seems people typically fall into one of these two camps. Very envious of the other.
I am team LG - the games come naturally to me, I love them and they are easy. LR on the other hand....how do you people do it?!
Which team are you?

Definitely team LR. LR has always been my favorite and came somewhat naturally to me.
However, it took me a long time and lots of work to get decent at games. My spacial reasoning skills are lacking.
I think I like LR a bit better from my academic background. That's really the only plausible reason I can think of right now.
I'm envious of you and those that are good at games. I constantly have to do games to stay fast and consistent.
I am envious of you as well haha.
It's interesting though, I was a political science major. One would assume that I would be all about LR and less about LG. My mind just understands the mechanics of games better though.
Yeah, studied PoliSci-Economics-Philosophy and I think all definitely helped with LR. Then again, you might very well be biologically/naturally predisposed to being good at games! Some people can just see the game pieces and manipulate them in their mind's eye. I completely and utterly suck at games, haha. Teach me your ways!!!
I'm team RC. The questions are whatever, but I LOVE reading the passages.
I definitely have an affinity for LR that I lack in LG. Team LR here, although it did not come naturally at all!
@Freddy_D Ahh yes, team RC. I see them as the Hufflepuff of LSAT. Yes they exist but everyone is really looking at Sytherin(LR) and Gryffindor(LG).
@"Cant Get Right" LR is such an annoyance, I went - 5 in one section today and - 0 in another. Wheres the consistency? How did I miss 5 and then miss none! What is happening?
LG was -1. Predictable. Logical. Consistent. Reliable and fun.
@"Alex Divine" I tried to teach my girl friend my ways this weekend. I couldn't do it. I just couldn't see how she wasn't making the inferences and connections.
Another fun tip - don't study for the LSAT with your significant other if they are good at LR and you are good at LG. It was a nightmare and full of statements like "BUT HOW?!"
Team LG all the way! I actually find the games really fun and I am super crossing my fingers that I get an LG experimental in September. On the other hand, RC is my mortal enemy. So I'll probably end up with that as my experimental.
I know the feeling. LG is by and far my favorite section. A 2 LG test would be amazing! So of course I'm in the same boat and will get like 3 LR sections....
LG because it's what makes me hopeful that I can pull a 170+
Looks like I'm the odd man out with my RC love
LG all day, every day. The fact I can CONFIDENTLY answer everything and literally prove every single thing is so satisfying. I'm a literature major so you would think RC was my favorite but it's essentially a glorified LR section. I like being able to PROVE things. That's what my major is about, taking rules and facts and figures and making it happen. LG is like my best friend when I see it on a PT. I literally breathe a sigh of relief.
Exactly! I hate the feeling of being torn between two AC on LR. I never feel that in Lg, or if I do it's rare.
Team Edward! Being immortal would give me time to master the LSAT...
LR, i also find that people who did some sort of PHL maj or min have an easier time prepping for LR.
Surprised to see so many Team LR here!
I'm definitely

Wow! So cool! Working hard to get to this point -:)
Definitely was lacking in my natural LG ability, but I'll take LG all day. I try to make it a competition with myself. For some reason I think I breathe more when I do LG too haha. I think it's because there is less bias and it's easier to see the flaws. I am with you on hoping my experimental is LG in September!!
Team WS (writing sample). My June writing sample would have convinced every one of you to be pro toll bridge.
That is a next level 180 response!
If 7Sage had something like Reddit gold, you woulda just got it haha
same here! I definitely love reading why corn is more productive than other crops and how riddled basins of attraction works!
'tis truly a shame isn't it. If we weren't under the gun, I believe the passages, by their own merits, would make for nice little relaxing reads on the john.
Haha I'm here with you! Team LR from day one. And RC. My english degree and lifelong bookworm status probably have something to do with this, but I now get about -3 on LR total in two sections and -2 in RC. Games still give me chest pains now and again (more often than I'd like to admit tbh) but logical reasoning has always been my LSAT happy place haha
I am team LG but wish i was team LR bc i feel thats where you really get those points stacking up.
Team LR! ..... however; after doing the first LG section with 7Sage it was SOO fun .. so I may be converting? *gasp!
You'll get there for sure! Everything just clicked one day, I'm at the point where I just write out the set up and go. The rules may or may not get turned into lawgic depending on how complicated they are. I tend to find "stickier" rules that aren't straight forward easier to retain if I convert. I build my set up with all the rules and just go for it. I occasionally leave behind a question that would take up time and come back to it later. You'll get to this point! Logic games are essentially a gift on this test!
LG for sure!
I'm an odd one maybe... I enjoy LG a lot more but am way better at LR. 7sage is definitely helping me be more accurate at LR but I started out pretty decent, they didn't seem that hard to me. But I more enjoy solving a puzzle and putting it all together. For the life of me though, I can't improve my speed and can't seem to finish a single LG section in time. Sigh. Glutton for punishment perhaps.
Added a poll
Huh...why didn't I think of that....
Team LR forsure!! Not sure what it is, but even after scoring well in LG, every section still makes me a little nervous
Definitely RC. LR second.
LG, the bane of my existence
I've always been way more comfortable with ambiguity and subtle interpretation than with black and white answers. Maybe that plays into this
Everyone is objectively team RC. Why is this even a question???
Sadly, I don't have a team. I miss 1-3 consistently in every section, now. I guess LR is my easiest section. RC is second, because it's the section I get -0 on the least often. LG is kind of tied with RC. While I think it is usually the easiest section, every 5 tests or so I can get kind of screwed by a surprising LG question. They are really harmful to high scores if you overlook a single important detail, much more so than the other two sections. I also do not like how the skills developed for LG are pretty stupid, not real-life skills. It's like being able to fill out a NYT crossword. It does not really teach you anything.
I think games is easier, but has harsher time constraints and has the possibility that you'll get blindsided and have a bad section. Reasoning is more consistent, but harder to get perfect.
Whoa! I didn't know that was a choice. > @"conrad.p" said:
I'll trade in my team to be only missing 3 per section, haha
Its great that you didnt mention a team RC. Lol.
Wait, there's RC on this test? :P
Lol, ive been treating the RC as experimental ?
;p
I wish the LSAT was a group test where you can pick your own group. We could have an LG expert, an RC expert, and an LR expert on the same team. We could be the Golden State Warriors of the LSAT. #superteam
I'll trade! Inbox me and I'll see how I can help ?
what exactly do you need help with?
I can't really give advice if I don't know what it is that is going wrong. How do you approach LG? Do you miss most of the questions? Do you have an issue with making game boards? is it a specific game type? or is it just generally you don't know how to approach anything in the LG section?
