Most points to gain. LG are a quick point boost too as you get better pretty much once you've seen and practiced them all. It's best to master the logic games first, then move on to LR.danitt wrote:Out of curiosity, why does everyone seem to focus so much on mastering logic games when there are two logical reasoning sections?

Well, the reason people say this is because it's (in theory) the easiest section to master. Once you've mastered the games, anything they throw at you will seem elementary and routine.danitt wrote:Out of curiosity, why does everyone seem to focus so much on mastering logic games when there are two logical reasoning sections?

IMO, taking the time to fully review a test is just as important as taking the test. You want to get into good habits from the first test and think about why you chose each right answer (to make sure it wasn't just luck) and, if you got it wrong, why you chose the wrong answer and more importantly why you eliminated the correct answer. I only took 10 full-length PT in my full prep so I think that will be fine as long as you use each test to its full utility (and a big part of this is the review!).Teflon_Don wrote:How important is going over an exam after you take it? I know it's obviously important, but is it worth the time? After my diagnostic I don't even want to review that entire test. I just want to start drilling more and more problems, to gain familiarity. Would this technique be more detrimental or would it work just fine? Also, how many full exams should I put aside for later? To elaborate, I'm going to buy logic game and other sections organized by type, for LSAT 21-40, so I can drill my weaknesses. Do you think from 41-present will suffice for full exam prep?
I'd say LG and LR because like you said games are the easiest to improve upon and LR is half of the test. At the same time, even though RC is probably the hardest to improve upon it is still over 25% of the test (has more questions than LG) so you can't just let it go. On your diagnostic did you make it through all of the sections or run out of time?Teflon_Don wrote:Given my stats above on my diagnostic, would you recommend focusing on LR, games or RC? If you could only pick two which would they be? I first thought RC & the games, since games are easiest to improve. But, I began to think it'd be better to prep the LR & RC, since LR makes up half the exam. Thoughts?

You're not taking the test for months, focus on all 3.breadbucket wrote:You need to improve them all....Teflon_Don wrote:Given my stats above on my diagnostic, would you recommend focusing on LR, games or RC?
