India LSAT Help Forum

[sunbai1029]

I sometimes read this thread for help and it is good. I want to see if anyone here can help me with the India LSAT as I am taking this one soon. I have completed all four practice exams and can't seem to find explanations for them as they have here for US exams. I wanted to see if anyone could help me with the first logic game in Preptest #4. The reason I ask is that this is the only game I struggled with (3 wrong) and it took me about 10 minutes. I ended up splitting the game into 8 different parts, but that wasted so much time and I still messed up. Anyone know how to best approach this game for when I see it on the real test?

Here's how I would have diagrammed this question. My diagram is in blue, and my notes on the diagram are in red. Note that to save time I wouldn't have diagrammed rules one and two on the exam like I did here. I probably would have just underlined them in my total list of options to remind myself to choose one but not both of those colors.
The not laws on the diagram come from inferences from the rules. Since at least one color has to be used after green, it can't go in the 5th slot. Since at least three colors have to be used after red, it can't go in the 3rd, 4th , or 5th slots. These allow you to answer two of the questions quickly. The rest of the questions I had to solve by eliminating all of the incorrect answers, which is inherently more time consuming that just scanning the answer list for the answer that you know is correct from your diagram.
