MASTER THE TEST, PERFORM YOUR BEST

LESSONS FOR EACH SECTION

Develop a Targeted Understanding of Every Question Type

Otherwise Known As LOGIC GAMES

This is the section most test takers find the most difficult; the style of questioning is largely absent from other standardized tests. The Logic Games section makes up one third of your LSAT score, so what may seem frighteningly unfamiliar will need to be deciphered into digestible rules and selective variable positions. It is not "fun and games", but with expert instruction and guided practice, I can help you find at least a little fun in tackling these questions.

​

I'll work to help you gain an in depth understanding of each question type, and - together - we will develop an easy to diagram, customized attack strategy for this section of the test that works for you. 

​

I prioritize clean diagramming, rule combination inferences, contrapositive comprehension, numerical distribution, variable selection, and efficient timing strategy as goals for each of my students. With specific instruction in these areas, students will see a noticeable improvement in their logic game performance. 

​

I am well versed in instruction for advanced and rare game types including Pattern, Mapping, Circular, and Hybrid logic games, as well as the more common types, such as Sequencing, Grouping, Matching and Distribution. I will help you navigate any Analytical Reasoning challenge, so that what once seemed scary will break down before your eyes into a series of uncomplicated steps for a straightforward, successful, and timely logic game completion. 

There is a Method to the Madness

Have you ever read through a Logical Reasoning question, examined the answer choices, and then ended up more confused than when you started? Every LSAT student has had this feeling at least once before. It takes a peculiar skillset made of well trained critical ability and a precise method of logical inquisition to identify and account for the all of the often subtle reasoning flaws written into each LR section. 

​​

Logical Reasoning prompts are written cleverly; they are made to lull an untrained reader into permitting misplaced assumptions of their own to collude their reasoning ability, and to trick the LSAT student into accepting incorrect assumptions made (or implied) by the speaker in the prompt. In this way, the questions can present as 25-26 doubly challenging riddles for the test taker to solve in just T minus 35. 

Would you believe me if I told you the questions actually more closely resemble jigsaw puzzle pieces? I guarantee I can show you how, and I promise to help you approach your test date with a put together picture of how to master this exam section. 

​​

I train my students to understand the variations of flawed LSAT argumentation, and the functional significance of criticality during dissection of the question stimulus and answer choices. A strong comprehension of the sorts of faulty reasoning that appear in this test section, together with a keen eye for assumption making (and assumption prevention) are the keys to a successful Logical Reasoning performance.  I will help you to develop a complete critical skillset to address common flaws in LSAT argumentation, including ad-hominem attacks, circularity, overgeneralization/exceptionality faults, problems of composition and classification, unnecessary binaries, ambiguous verbiage, self-contained contradiction, and appeals to authority or emotion. With firm knowledge of how these reasoning problems present and an understanding of how one resolves them, my students proceed to their official exam day with the tools for their strongest performance possible.
