[blindlaw] Doing Logic Games Efficiently on LSAT

[Kelby Carlson]

Yes.  What does a "master sketch" look like, exactly? This is 
what I'm having trouble with.

By "master sketch", I mean the diagram that applies to an entire 
game, not
just to a specific question within a game.  For example, "Which 
of the
following must be true?" is a question that must be answered from 
the master
sketch because it doesn't introduce any new conditions.  However, 
a question
like "If John performs immediately after Mary, who cannot perform 
last?"
requires the creation of a new sketch from the master sketch that
incorporates the new rule that applies only to that question.  
Does this
make sense?

When you say "master sketch", what exactly do you have in mind?

Hi all,

First, I would suggest sticking with Excel, as it offers the 
greatest
flexibility when it comes to manipulating elements.  To save time 
on the
logic games section, I recommend taking full advantage of the 
copy/paste
feature.  Specifically, you should be easily able to copy your 
master sketch
for hypothetical questions.  Depending on whether you prefer the 
horizontal
or vertical approach, you can select an entire column by pressing 
"Control"
plus the spacebar, or entire row by pressing "Shift" plus the 
spacebar, and
you can then extend the selection to adjacent cells by pressing 
"Shift" plus
the arrow key that corresponds to the direction in which you want 
to extend
the selection.  After that, you can perform copy and paste 
commands just as
you would in any other program.  I hope this helps.

Michal

Dear all,
I hope this finds you all well and having had a good 
Thanksgiving.  I am
finding that, although I can do logic games on LSAT practice 
tests with a
very high degree of accuracy with Excel, I'm having trouble 
getting the
logic games section done in the allotted time, which for me is 70 
minutes (I
requested and received double time for each section).  If anyone 
knows of
any time efficient methods of diagramming with Excel or some 
other
accessible product, please let me know.  Please also feel free to 
write me
directly at jtfetter at yahoo.com.  I apologize if this question has 
been asked
and answered before.  Thanks.
All Best,
James
