Reviewing Logic Games

[shanhickey]

Hello! As I begin to take more practice tests, I'm noticing that I continue to get flustered by Logic Games in a timed setting. As soon as I begin to review, I'll try to diagram the games again to see if I missed any inferences. I usually end up understanding the game a whole lot better during this process without having to gain additional help. How can I slow down and see the big picture of these games DURING the timed setting that I am able to see after the fact? I'm assuming this is a bit more of a mentality question, but I just want to make sure I'm not breaking down while I'm IN the moment and end up getting a poor score on the June LSAT (one month away EEK!!)

Hi shanhickey,

Thanks for the post! It's not uncommon for students to (temporarily) slow down partway through their studies. This is often because as you learn new concepts, your timing is slowing down as you learn to practice and apply the new concepts efficiently.

The good thing here is you're reviewing your progress, which is key. Make sure you look through the links I provided in my comment on your post yesterday about reviewing tests and how to improve timing.

Lastly, here are some LG-specific links that may help:
