Bey's trendy... look at her being trendy

That is the second most terrifying Beyonce gif I have ever seen.

i'm wondering what Beyonce gif is more frightening? i have a veritable library of beyonce gifs haha and i'm always looking to add more

It was some variation of this one.

--ImageRemoved--

Make deductions about which ones absolutely cannot be together

do you make traditional diagrams? or templates? i've studied with the powerscore method, which doesn't explicitly talk about in/out games

Make sure that you've got the pairs that either one of them has to be in (I symbolize them as A/B in the IN column) or one of them has to be out (-A/-B in the OUT column).

Once you've done that don't forget that depending on the rules you might be able to have BOTH in or BOTH out.

I used Velocity. They have some youtube videos that you can preview.

List of rules and scenarios is what I use.

I also don't do much notation or writing for any section, so I am probably am the worst to ask.

I make an in column and then the sketch and then an out column. In and or games are selection games with a sketch so you should always be drawing it. The trick is to make sure you focus on your out column as well as your in column because a lot of important deductions can come from there.

Games was my perfect section. It's probably the only thing that saved my LSAT score.

What questions are you struggling with specifically? A lot of in/out games seem a lot more difficult than they really are (birds in the forest and mauve dinosaurs, specifically) because you have to play the spaces rather than try and figure out what goes where for each and every question.

For example, if I have a "If Bill is at the game, then Jenny is also at the game" and a "If Donny is not at the game, then Larry and Kellen are at the game" and there's only four "in spaces" you might be tempted to try and fit Bill in first (because it's easy to add Jenny for an easy space), and worry about Donny later.

You should actually do the opposite. Worry about Donny first. Is he there? No? This question just got a lot easier. Yes? Then the Larry/Kellen play a huge role in this.

You'll see stuff like, "If Caleb is at the game, and Patrick and Donny are not at the game, which of the following must be true?"

a. Bill is not at the game
b. Larry is not at the game
c. Xavier is at the game
etc.

So this now becomes easy:

Donny's not at the game, so you immediately add Larry and Kellen. Plus Caleb, that's three people. So you're never going to have Bill, since he'd require Jenny.

Furthermore, on super detailed in/out games (specifically picwhoring friends. effing Raimundo.) use the contrapositive to your advantage throughout all the questions. If, whenever W is in the picture, T and R are both out, and the next rule is: if Y is out, then R is in, you can contrapositive the last rule to when R is out, Y is in. Thus, W -> R -> Y, or, more simply, W -> Y
