I'm noticing a pretty clear pattern that the third game is unholy hard and the fourth game tends to be pretty easy. I think LSAC does this as a lazy way to generate a bell curve...uninformed test takers hit the third game and crash, run out of time and don't even get a look at the fourth, easy game, whereas, a test taker or equal ability by doing the third game last would probably get a much higher score...

I am going to adopt the strategy of skipping the third game and attacking it last. Does anyone else do this?

It may seem like the third is the hardest on some tests, but it is not universal. Having a blanket rule to skip the third test for last could hurt you, especially if it is easy. At the beginning of the section, scan each game quickly to identify any hard games.

The 4th game on the December LSAT has generally been named the hardest game on that test, so take that for what it's worth.

+1 for October. The dreaded bicycle game.

There is no pattern for this. End thread.

Bicycle game was 3rd. Bookshelf was 4th.

And mauve dinosaurs was 3rd, and I think snakes and lizards was too!

am i the only one who never remembers what the games are actually about
A comes before B, idk if its a book or a person

OP, i haven't noticed a pattern in difficulty and I've taken almost every prep-test. Sometimes the first game is the hardest.

It's okay, apparently I didn't remember what order they were in.

Wooooosh

The 3rd and 4th are almost always more difficult than the first two, but there's not enough of a difference between the two of them to come up with a solid trend.

3rd and 4th are usually harder, drill until you can't see straight and they will all seem easy.
