Yoda's logic game tactic...
I just finished watching a scene from Star Wars; Yoda is so awesome! He is truly the master of masters.
Many of us are no Anakin Skywalker when it comes to the LSAT. But who wants to be a pompous, self-absorbed genius, when you can strive to become YODA!
For those struggling with logic games, let me share with you a 3-step study method; it'll transform you into a true Jedi game master. I call the 3-step method, "SuperGames Week."
Gather 15-20 games. Do them ALL! Time upwards (from 00:00:00 to however long it takes you). After each game, write down how many you got wrong and how long it took you (for each game you have approximately 9 minutes). Then follow these steps...
Step 1: Categorize all the games into one of three classes: A, B or C.
Class "A" is all the games that took you less than 10 minutes and you got at most 2 wrong.
Class "B" is all the games that took you 10 minutes or more, and you got at most 2 wrong.
Class "C" is all the games that took you 10 minutes or more, and/or you got 3 or more wrong.
Class "A." You got these and you understand them! Put'em away!
Class "B," although you got the game....it took you WAY too long. Briefly review and evaluate how you could improve your speed.
Class "C," ....you just didn't get these games. Even if you finished the game within 6 minutes, you got 3 wrong (that's 50% of the game)! You need to take time to study these.
Step 2: Take Class "C" and redo the above step! (YAY!) Categorize everything into A, B, and C (again). Ideally, this time around you should have zero Class "C's."
Step 3: After Step 2, if you have more than 10 games in Class "C" go grab a box of tissues and start crying. Cry now because you will need to exhaust these games until you can recite them by heart! I'm being serious. If you're not getting it after several attempts, then your only hope of learning these games is to memorize the logic behind it.
Some may think this method bizarre, but trust me, it's helped thousands! After several "SuperGames Week," you will not only become a Jedi Knight, but Yoda in the games section of the LSAT.

I totally concur with Anna Ivey about this blog - it is really interesting and helpful. Of course I already know a lot of the things you write about, but that’s because I heard you say them in class. Definitely keep it up.
I'm dying to know... which company do you work for?
One of the more bigger companies in S. Cal~ ;)
