I took the LSAT once and got a 180 and don’t know what a “truth table” is. So, no, you will not need one. The serious point is that you want to make the LSAT as straightforward as you can, rather than complexifying it needlessly with “truth tables, “ elaborate logic terms, etc. Simplify, simplify, simplify!
These videos are SO helpful! I wish I would have found them earlier. I am preparing to take the LSAT next month and the logic games section was making me panicky. I am already feeling more at ease. Thanks for posting these.
That is very kind, thank you. I do not have any published materials. I work intensively with individuals. I am thinking through how to do a preparation book without the disadvantages of all the ones I bought when I was preparing for the LSAT, and promptly discarded because they would have done more harm than good. My issue with all prep books is that they are too complex and are therefore damaging to the efficiency you'll need when you take the test. But stay tuned (for about a year).
Sir Pasewark, thank you for such a straightforward and simple way of understanding this kind of problem! However, is this type of grid applicable to most, if not all, logic games similar to this one?? Loved the video!
It’s a book of old LSAT’s, available from lsac.org. Those are the people who write the tests, and in my view, the tests are the only really valuable written practice materials available anywhere. LSAC offers 4 books of 10 and a bunch of individual tests.
Good stuff! I'm doing well--so far--preparing for the lsat. I usually get most of the logic game questions correct, but at a cost of spending an average of 3 minutes per question (equating to more than double the time allotted on the actual test). You're methods and advice should really come in handy tomorrow by allowing me to run through these questions more efficiently!
Could the two world scenarios intermingle into one answer? For instance, on a particular day is it possible for her to do x and y when x and y are both possible, but only possible for two scenarios on that particular day?
Jeneil demdam, she can lecture on monday, but the question asks what day must she lexture on? The answer is tuesday beacuse in the afternoon for both options 1 and 2, there are both L's
I'm starting to get a grip on answering logic games, but will there be an instance in which I will be needing the truth table to answer a logic games, like in LSAT?thanks!
