By recent I mean on Feb 2014 and June 2014. I just took the June test, and that last question threw me for a loop. Is there a way to diagram or to attack these games? Are there questions that I can use for my prep that are similar? Thanks!

The one in February was a circular game which has appeared on a few PrepTests, so you can review those games to get a feel for them:

PT 41 Game 4, PT1 Game 1, and PT B Game 3 are all good ones to practice to get good at circular games.

The June test was a new type of game. The biggest thing you can learn to beat a game like this would be interchangeability. It is a concept that most aren't familiar with, but it was super powerful on this game. K and L end up being interchangeable, which means that anything K can do L can do and vice versa. This leads you to eliminate tons of incorrect answer choices on questions 20, 21, and 23. In fact, nearly half of the incorrect answer choices on the entire game can be eliminated immediately using interchangeability. It is a must know! If you would like to see a video explanation of that game then PM me.

Hope this helps!

Are there any other Logic Games that involve interchangeability? I'm pretty sure I haven't run into this yet and I'd like to get some practice at it before the September Test.

Interchangability is actually quite common. I'd been using it but didnt know there was an official term for it. Check out logic game 1 from PT 40, and answer choice 5 in this video as a demonstration of it : http://7sage.com/lsat_explanations/lsat ... -2-game-1/

basically wherever there is multiple floaters that have no real restrictions. Notice how (A) and (B) here in the 5th question can be elimianted quickly due to interchangabiltiy .

Having two floaters/randoms is great way to use interchangeability but there are also many other applications as well. Here's a list of some games that use interchangeability heavily in different ways:

PrepTest 24 game 1
PrepTest A game 3
PrepTest 2 game 4
PrepTest 66 game 3

Let me know if you want more games with interchangeability and I can put together a more comprehensive list. Like Flash said, it's quite common.
