Around what preptest did games feel normal
I'm on preptest 34 and games are still somewhat of a struggle. I recognize that for me to do better drilling is very necessary, and it's working on the ones I do and recognize, but while the inferences are the same, the setup for some games are just different enough to leave me confused. So my questions is at what point did at least 3/4 games seem routine in the sense that you felt like you had seen those types of games before. I realize games won't look exactly like games before, but I'm wondering is there a general consensus for when the games began to seem easily recognizable. (Assuming you've done most LG games from at least 1 to 38)

Re: Around what preptest did games feel normal
I actually spent 3 weeks ONLY doing games before taking full preptests. To be honest, I don't think you get enough exposure to the games-way of thinking while taking full tests if you haven't already mostly perfected games on their own.
My answer is that 3/4 games felt routine after I spent 2-3 weeks doing JUST games, probably about 30something PTs worth of games. But maybe you're asking the wrong question? To do really well on games I think you need to be so cued in to that method of thinking that you can say "Oh, this is a weird game, but I can still quickly build hypothetical setups and rule out scenarios based on the rules." I practiced on the packet of unusual games later on to prepare to attack any hella weird game that came up, and while I did pull a couple hella weird games on my LSAT, I was able to build hypotheticals fast enough to take them on.
