How I Got Better At Logic Games In A Week

Five years ago, in 2007, I took the June LSAT. One week before the test, I knew my logic games weren't where I wanted them.

I had scored 167 on my diagnostic, and was scoring 172-173 in practice tests. But almost all of my mistakes were on logic games. 6-8 wrong per section.

I went the the bookstore, and got some more practice tests. And for a week I did nothing but go through games sections.

Something clicked. By repeatedly exposing myself to games, I must have started to see the patterns, and realized how to solve them more effectively.

There is no guarantee this will work for you - the lesson may have been specific to my case. But I find games are the easiest section to improve simply from exposure.

Another trick that may work is repeating games. You learn a lot more about them the second time through.

I'm sure there are other people here who have made big improvements on games. There are probably people here who made big improvements by doing something completely different than I did. Those of you who got better, how did you do it?

I ended up scoring 177 in June 2007. Take that, logic games.
