14Logic GamesThe Logic Games section of the LSAT is designed to test yourability to organize lots of pieces of information and then to makeinferences—to figure out what must be true based on the givenfacts. When you get past the often ridiculous details—patients in awaiting room, dogs at the groomers, clowns in cars—it’s not toohard to see how this section is testing skills used by law students.In law school, you’ll be asked to organize lots of information, andyou’ll be asked to draw many inferences. And, if you are workingduring law school, you might even be putting dogs in order.In order to do well on the Logic Games section, you need to beorganized and consistent. You also need to be creative andflexible. These characteristics might seem like polar opposites,but, in fact, being organized is what will allow you to be creative,just as being consistent will allow you to be flexible.The Logic Games (LG) section of the LSAT is often moreintimidating to students than Reading Comprehension (RC) andLogical Reasoning (LR). Few of us have played more than theoccasional Sudoku puzzle, but all of us have read passages andanswered questions about them. And it’s safe to say that all of ushave had to reason logically. This intimidation factor actuallyworks in your favor. With the proper preparation, you will beconfident during a section that leaves many people cowering ontest day. Dramatic improvements on this section are definitelypossible, but it’s hard to do this alone! So commit to mastering thiscrazy section; we’re right beside you.By the way, it’s not smart to start our relationship with a lie, so wemust confess that the Logic Games section of the LSAT is reallycalled “Analytical Reasoning.” But that’s the last time we’ll everrefer to Logic Games by the official name.Where Logic Games Fit in the Big Picture
