Question on Fool proofing LG

  There are some questions where you can't help but remember the answer. I stayed away from doing a game several times in a day unless it was a game that REALLY threw me off, that minimized those questions I think. But my overall process that seemed to help with this is to focus less on circling the correct answer choice, and more on the process. On those questions that I remember I make myself think through the entire string of inferences and write out the work if that's what I'd do if it were fresh game before I select an answer. If it's a question where a key inference solves it right away, I might even make myself solve it by brute forcing as a way to practice getting unstuck. On some repeats of a game definitely try to go through the game with flawless strategy, but sometimes going an alternate route is super helpful.

  Focus on the process: diagramming, making inferences, and figuring out how to prove the answer.

  Are you giving yourself enough time to forget the material? How much spacing between repeating games?

  When I remember an AC, I don't allow myself to circle it straight away.
  I either:
  A. I treat it as if I'm starting at AC A and moving down to AC E.
  B. Provide myself with a reason I would be scanning for a particular element in the ACs. Then I go through all the ACs for that element.
