evolution of logic games

Post by gbpackerbacker » Thu Apr 15, 2010 5:29 pm

I remember reading on here that logic games have changed since the early 90s and even since more recent tests. I don’t however remember the trend. Are they easier? More difficult? Please explain…

The general thought here seems to be that logic games have been gradually getting easier while logical reasoning and reading comp have been gradually getting more difficult.

Thanks! I just feel that the wording and organizations of the older logic games are not are much more difficult to understand than that of the newer games...

Even though I do agree that games are much easier, I still think they've become less susceptible to diagramming and applying certain learned principles than older games are, and, hence, require more actual thinking than mechanical application, so to speak.

The LSAC are catching up to what all the prepping companies like PowerScore are doing.

I know for a fact I would have failed the dinos game last June if I tried to come up with a good diagram rather than brute force through it the way I did.
