It's a really good post like 99% of Jeffort's posts. Talks about how test takers should not make the assumption that the LG section is a guaranteed -0 and to be ready for anything. Mentions LSAC possibly bringing back the pattern of unusual logic games. Makes a good point about PT 51's clown game that I didn't know everyone freaked out about, which actually turned out to be a very simple game if you weren't set on book learned LG strategies.

It does seem like LSAC is gearing up to throw some unusual question types on future tests. This applies as well to LR as many are talking about early question types in their experimental LR section.

lol. Yeah, I have a twitter account and a total of one tweet since I created it years ago. Can't stand twitter with the character limit. It's barely enough to express one simple thought clearly. #iSdumb #uselessforintelligentdiscussion

That's your problem right there, Jeffort. Your hashtag usage takes up most of the 140 characters.

Honestly, thinking about that fourth game again--I think the best way to deal with those situations where you don't even know how to diagram is to immediately look at the questions/answer choices (especially [MOD EDIT; HOW MANY WARNINGS DO YOU GOOBERS NEED?]). When i reached that game, i was like WTF for about 2 minutes, then looked at the first question. I basically told myself that my diagram needed to be so that those answer choices could make sense, and that helped me (i think) figure out where i needed to go. This has helped me in other games, too, where i've been unsure of how to diagram, not sure if others agree.

I dont know. Ive never had a game that I felt I just couldnt solve. Not since I first started studying in December. Even the clowns and dino games I found challenging but not impossible. I totally failed to crack game 4, however. Theres a good chance that maybe Im just not effective at that type of reasoning.. But judging by the overall responses, Im not sure what to make of it. I guess we'll see.
